The Tokin' White Guy
Thats exactly how I feel now. After i got out of treatment i got stuck in a cycle. Gym, work, home and isolate. At my job, the benefits are great but where I'm at the only way to progress is a Supervisor or Department manager and I aint in love with either idea, being stuck in an office. Its been taking a toll on my mental health and i can tell. Just sitting here at my desk for 3 hours will have me feeling brain dead or out of it by the end of the day and i just go home and watch tv or play games until i pass out to do it all over again. Work with a bunch of older ladies (couple dudes too) so nobody i can relate with too well so I kind of keep to myself.
Thankfully this is my last day here today and I start work as a chemical technician on monday. Will take a pay cut and have to restart my benefits with them, but I at least wont be cooped up in an office all day, work with some dudes closer to my age and get to travel often. After 3 months of training we will re negotiate my wage though so just have to do well with training then i should be making about the same money as i currently am with possibilities of quicker raises and a whole new list of things i can get promoted to after some time.
Really im just hoping this will give me some work experience that I can do other places in the states and work here a couple years then move out of Alaska and continue doing it elsewhere.
