I work almost every weekend so I’m close to my coworkers that work the weekend. One of my coworkers works so many hours on the weekend. Like 7am-930pm on Saturday, Sunday, Monday (but shorter time and sometimes the whole day). and sometimes she’s working Friday as well.
I’m pretty close to one of my coworkers and I’ll tell her about my working life. Like I’ve been working part time jobs nonstop since I graduated college, and all that jazz.
And she was like oh your parents must be so proud, oh their so lucky to have a daughter like you. I wish my son will turn out like that.
Like I guess. I hope my parents are proud of me lol. But I could work every day of the week as many hours but they’ll probably not be happy with that. And I have worked that sort of life before. Getting almost 50+ hours of work, sometimes working continuously for 20 days in a month. So when I’m told I don’t know what hard work is like I get super angry. Also not being straight and not identifying as a girl they were upset about too. But I haven’t told anyone any of my jobs or past jobs, except my fast food job. So I guess the only way they’ll be happy is if I have a full time job, with benefits, stable position, pension plan, the perfect job in their eyes. Not 2 part time jobs, one that’s good hours but no benefits and the other one I’m really biding my time with (in their eyes anyways).
I missed out a lot of friends, family because I’m always working. And when I do take time off to go hang out with my friends. It’s the ‘oh your not making enough to survive this week’. so whelp. So I guess sacrifice when your young not when your old.
