Thursday I start a new job with a shift from 3:30 to Midnight. I liked my current job because it was easy, but they cut hours like a mofo and all my savings are gone due to a combination of vehicle repairs and poor spending habits. I am making just enough money to pay all my bills but I won't survive another catastrophe, so I'm leaving for a job that pays more and is extremely busy despite the supply chain issues. In fact, I've already been told that there will most likely be mandatory overtime. I expect that soon enough I will become the dreaded wageslave. My last job barely provided thirty hours, so I was spending a lot more time reading and writing, but I suspect that this will be coming to an end. I feel somewhat sad and anxious about this, but at the same time living in a state of precarity does the same. It seems to me one cannot live an easy life anymore unless one is lucky enough to have someone support them or can find a way to live comfortably with nothing. Perhaps I should have spend more time looking for the latter.
