Second week of my job and I'm having mixed feelings of, "oh I'm doing enough," and "oh my god I need to do more." It's slow and I can't tell how it'll ramp up. Feels less busy than college. But. I am doing 12hr days again, basically, when including commute. Me no likey.
I don't get why I was told I'd have more time for hobbies post grad by people working full time. I feel like the best time to explore is when you're a kid (but if you had no access to resources, good luck lol?). 🤡
I mean I guess I still am trading my time for money which...might get me some time back? Eh. Point is I'm still figuring out work life balance. Still figuring out my career plans, as I know I should go up the ladder a bit more for stability. ...man. sigh. I mean. Dude I just want the part where my brain throws a party and feels happier or safer. I wanna poke my brain with a stick for not operating.
