I got laid off this week, they had to call me because I’m on paternity leave, lol. Jokes on them because that just means they have to pay me through July!
It’s very much a good thing. My wife’s job is going well and I’m gonna try and stay unemployed/underemployed and just stay home with my daughter for a few extra months.
I feel bad how relieved I was to get let go though. I took this job because my last job was becoming really bad for my mental health and this one was worse. I haven’t had a particularly good day at a desk job since before COVID. That junk really destroyed my work ethic for a desk job. It’s a bummer because I’m really good at my job when I like doing it. I find myself thinking I’d like to go back to working at like a coffee shop or something. I wish those jobs weren’t paid exploitation wages.
Raising my baby is great though, I love it and I’m pretty good at it. I hope I can feel that way about a non-domestic job again.
