Trying to even start on finding a new job has felt like pulling teeth, I almost kinda just want to ride my current one into the ground and worry about finding new ones once I actually have an empty schedule to do it. I put my personal projects on hold so I can work on my resume and portfolio in my free time but I just end up feeling worse and procrastinating even more. I'm so fucking bad at balancing all of this lmao

yeah uni is making me feel similar. before shit hit the fan i could still hyperfocus on my site, and now i actually gotta force myself to work on it when i have actual free time
For context I've been feeling burned out at my current job and wanted to try finding a new one, but I think I should just go down with the ship so I can actually be happy in my free time again to do Neocities stuff. It would really suck to move again but my family is nearby if I truly need to crash at their place from unemployment
@brachypelmide Respect for balancing all of that, that has to be brutal
and respect to you as well for dealing with all of your stuff. we're all miserable down here ♥
I'm sort of in the same boat. Looking, but not jumping on applying to anything unless it sounds 100% up my alley. It's not so bad riding it out since I can basically do my work on autopilot + my employer isn't THAT toxic. Gives me the mental capacity to work on things I care more about, anyway
This is pretty relatable... I just graduated from my master's program, so I've been using working on my site to distract me from the whole... job situation.
And it doesn't help that jobs nowadays want you to prove yourself worthy for a mediocre wage...
currently waiting to see if I got a job after making the second round interview... its truly the worst. stay strong!!
RELATABLE
