So, usually I dont tall about my personal life on here, partly cause I don't like to sound like a little sis but also because personal is personal. Today is awful though, and I think maybe some feedback/encouragement would be nice. I'm pretty much at a stalemate at my job. My job has gotten to the point where it's taken a toll on my body, my mental health, and my marriage and things are steadily getting worse every day. If I put into words how bad things are, I doubt anyone would believe me. The only thing that keeps me from walking out is that I don't want to be an unemployed burden on my wife.

Today, today has been especially awful. It's a miracle I haven't rage quit. So here I am, on my lunch, searching job websites where I see a local jeweler is looking for an apprentice for jewelery repair. I'm thinking about applying. It would be a 40% paycut to what I'm making now, probably even more when you factor in loss of benefits. I don't care though. I can make the budget work, especially if I pick up a second part time job. To do something though, with my hands and be proud of what I do without ruining my already feeble body appeals to me so much. I sent the link to my wife. She isn't opposed to the idea which is the closest thing to an "ok" you can get out of her, so I think as soon as I get home tonight I'm going to email the place and see what kind of trouble I can't get myself into.
