Or at least take an extended break. It’s tough cuz I’m a genuine beer lover, and I’d like to get back to the point I can have a few beers now and again but I think I’ve been hitting the bottle too much to unwind.

Shits been stressful. There’s been a change of ownership at my job and with it they’ve increased the workload for a lot of the managers and it’s been stressing everyone out. Also I’ve been finishing up my Masters and trying to look for a new job which is demoralizing.

Also also, my moms moved back in, she owned two homes and me and my brother were renting one of them, but she announced a few months back she was selling her second one for financial reasons. She slashed my rent in half but still, living with her has been tough. She has poorly managed ADHD and while I try and be sympathetic, it causes her to get over stimulated and crash out at me and my brother. Like she freaked out at me a few days ago when she asked me to move some stuff out of the attic but apparently I started doing it too soon when she was “emotionally ready” for me to get started, and apparently expects me to pick up on subtle context clue to figure out when she’s ready for me to get started on tasks she requests of me. I really want to get a better job so I can move out but with the housing and job market fucked I’ve been pretty in the dumps and pouring myself several beers has been a way to cope. But I showed up to work so hungover yesterday I’m pretty sure everyone knew and had a bit of a panic attack and had to go home 4 hours early.

So yeah I think I’ll be taking a leave from my position as the beer truck operator for a bit.
