I Am Lonely

I’m on my break with my work from home job and I feel an overwhelming sense of loneliness. It hits me too often.

Working at home gets awful after a while... the loneliness does get worse than annoying coworkers

I did it for several reasons. I don’t drive, don’t want to rely on someone else to get me there, and wanted to save time getting to and from. Also, it’s better to not have to deal with managers in your face all the time. This job I have is better pay than the fast food job, has benefits and 401k, as well as pto, and it’s actual employment instead of independent contracting...there are downsides though. I don’t have a lot of free time for myself, and the customers can be quite nasty. Oh, and my bf works when I’m off. And I work when he’s off. I can’t complain too much though, because unlike my other jobs, I can work in my pajamas. There are so many things to consider here. I have to keep this job while searching for one to replace it. @KingofPizza2

@PoisonLace Yeah, for the past 3 years I’ve been working from home too, starting up my own business... it’s had a lot going for it but ultimately it’s fizzled. But in the end no job is perfect... you just have to decide if it’s good enough.
