After 1.5 years, I began a new job last week!

It's basically for benefits. The pay is a fraction of what I was making in NYC. But it's days with weekends off, NO HOLIDAYS, which is a big issue when you work behind-the-scenes in TV, and several other perks. These are what I call the "at least"...At least they buy us lunch once a week, at least they have donuts and snacks. My coworkers are also a fraction of my age(ha), one has ASD, everyone is super chill so far.

My boss is 3,000 miles away in LA. We communicate over Slack or Teams. He's also super chill so far, so whether he really is or he's just "LA nice" I don't know.

Still looking at Linked In, because having a nice boss who is three hours behind me is great but it doesn't make me rich. But I'm so thankful, it is beyond brutal out there.

no stress benefits will add years to your good health!
Good for you. It is almost always easier to find a job if you already have one, both in terms of the prospective employer’s perception of you and the lack of desperation on your side. Not saying that’s merciful or fair. It just is.

Congratulations!

I hate how what I do is a job.

I hate how jobbing it is.

But I also know how stressful it is to be helpless financially and can't help your loved ones.
