Started applying today to put my feelers out there to see if anyone even responds. Like the best I can find is $18 an hour factory work. This was the same kind of work that existed during covid, nothings changed! It's still shit!!

I hear ya. Last week I did back-to-back 12 hour days that turned into 14 or 15s to meet a planned outage for a steel mill. It's basically the only time they allocate to changing equipment since they run 24/7. This was also as water was coming thru the walls due to extremely bad thunderstorms and the sump pump failed resulting in 3 ft of water in the basement next to the main electrical feed for the building lol. Then after doing that I tore out my whole subfloor and replaced it over the weekend, got drunk, burned it all, woke up and did it all over again.

I don't see me continuing this forever. It's just not sustainable. But I do take some pride in this lifestyle especially as it makes things materially better for my partner and I. I'd do anything for him, he's the love of my life and we've been together thru thick and thin for 12 years at this point.
