Dont let them take everything from you at work.
Keep some for yourself.
This is pure wisdom at its best!!!
My job is terribly unfair, not as in like...uh... hmmm....
I work, literally, pacifying our elderly, over the phone, when they call rightfully angry or upset because the Medicare insurance company I work for denied or delayed their access to medical benefits.
I have to talk people off the ledge too frequently. Stay on the line, never hang up even when they may be screaming off the top of their lungs.
I struggle because I am the kind of person that truly wants to help, especially because of my background and my experience. But I struggle with my own health. I can't drive anymore, so I too work from home and this the one job I could find.
Before that, I used to work in State and County governments. Not the best places for a true bitcoiner & nostrich at heart, but I actually DID help people then.
I keep searching, just in case I find something that wouldn't abuse me as much. Some of my callers , the nicer ones are the ones I have trouble with. I don't want them to be in the pain they're in.
My pay is half what used to be at my job prior.
But... there is big BUT.
I am very hopeful because I am extremely imaginative.
I see and imagine a lot of things in mind's eye. So I draw.
It may take me a long time, but I want to go from hereββ

Yes, that's quite "Fantastic" looking, but imagination can be that way.
I am hungry, people are hungry for beauty and optimism.
I have the worst job when it comes to optimism.
But I am not going to let that define me.

I shall definitely try!

I am, after all, The Glitter Maiden!!!!!
My job doesn't entail me saving anyones life and often feels meaningless, robotic, data driven and mundane.
I take opportunities where I can do brighten peoples lives.
I have stepped in to escalate someone who I thought was about to commit suicide and they remember and appreciate it to this day (not why I did it).
At the end of the day I feel like i work at the Pennsylvanian paper company but knowing I can spread light and positivity to those living in dark places is the soul food that keeps me alive and beating the system.
Stack sats and chill.
