How do you stay sane when you have to work all the time?

submitted 2 weeks ago by

Most of my adult life has involved lots and lots of work. Right now I’m juggling like three and a half jobs. I “only” worked five hours yesterday because of the holiday. I need to go back to sleep now to get up to be ready for work at 8 am. I’ll be working until 9 pm, with a similar schedule tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday.

I don’t even have health insurance.

well I have not worked regular in almost two years so im not working all the time right now. what gets me is I feel life takes more work outside of work now despite the fact that technology should be lightening the load. I find software is taking work off of companies and shouldering it on their customers. Anyway everything sucks.
