Fuck guys. I'm so fucked.

I had a decent job at a engineering/architectural firm for 7 years.

Was doing ok until Covid...then I just stopped caring. I used to be an early riser. 2nd or 3rd in the door. Did good work. After and during Covid BS I couldn't even make it out of bed some days. Couldn't be fucking bothered.

They fired me with a heap of severance, and I got a new job almost right away.

I'm not gonna make it through probationary period ..i can barely show up still. I space out 50% of the time.

Probably gonna drop the hammer on me soon. I can probably get another job...but how the fuck do I shake this BS off?

Everything seems so fucking pointless. 1/3 of my wage is gone to taxes right of the bat. Housing prices are fuckt. Everything is so expensive, BS politics, and wasteful spending. ..it just fucking seems pointless.

I need to move out of the city, but with my building, CAD, and design experience I can't get a decent paying job somewhere smaller.

Long and short i need to get a job work at it for a bit until I can switch careers to something where I can work in a smaller city/town.

But...how the fuck do I muster up the willpower to get in there and do it.

Gaurantee my girlfriend is gonna flip if/when I lose this job.

P.S. I turned down another company for a job, how would reccommend I ask for another job offet from them?

Fair, need to man up a bit.

Not worry about the sheckles...well shit. Everything is in sheckles these day.

If i owned land or could barter stuff and be self sufficient sure. But how the fuck else do you get by if not for working for sheckles?

shit 50 acres in AZ is 25K, if you want to live 30 miles outside of town in the desert :D

I wish I could find 20 acres for that price out in the midwest or mountains somewhere

Not sure if id like to live in a desert...might help with my seasonal allergies...50 acres might be a bit much...id rather have 5-10 somewhere more lush.

To be fair...never really tried. I'm sure with rainwater harvesting and plant selectuon you could grow stuff fairly well.

The main reason Id want a big yard for.

Did that. Now my daughter is dead and I'm back to not caring, except more intense this time. You think you have it all figured out. You don't.

I'm so sorry. SpouseAnon's son died age 16 many years ago. It does get easier...you learn to push it down where it can be taken out, examined and put away for a stronger day. He still grieves for his son. The most profound loss is that of a child. Again, very sorry for your loss. World suxs.
