I actually just decided this these past few days but I think I’m going to start looking for another job.

I’m unionized and have a chill job, all things considered, with good pay and good benefits and I work remote so I’ve felt like I wanted to stay forever because it feels like I get paid and protected to stay at home and do routine at this point but it’s also kinda dead-end. There’s literally no other thing I can grow toward at my work, I’ve already asked, so it feels like I’d just sit with this same position for the rest of my life. There are worse things I could do, which I know because I’ve done them and this is the best job I’ve ever had, but I’m not really happy either. It’s a lifetime better than where I was before I started but after some years, especially just sitting at home this entire time, it kinda weighs on me as meaningless. It is good work that is aligned with my politics and I would never be ashamed among comrades to say what I do but I also just feel like I want to expand a bit more in my life. I have some connections in something else so I’m going to feel out possibilities soon. We’ll see how it goes. Holding on for another year and saving wouldn’t be bad either but no one’s getting younger.

Otherwise, I’ll just coast.

On second thought, I’m just gonna celebrate Kissinger’s death all year. Rest in Piss.
