I got unemployment for a bit, managed to keep up with that bs at the time. Then state claimed it was an error and eventually have to pay it all back. Basically means I never get unemployment again. Last period of joblessness before this one, I got a call back from a job that I turned down a year prior because it was half what I currently made. By then I was desperate enough to take it.

I am close to desperste enough to re-applying at a nearby job I worked one day at and quit because they give no official breaks in an 8hr shift. At least I'd get one paycheck but no clue how long I could possibly stand that. When I was younger, I could power through almost any job at least a year, but no breaks in 8 hrs? Never experienced that- & I've done roofing, cab driving briefly, a nasty factory for over a year: it's not like I' m used to the "good life".

Don't worry about advice quality. Somewhat needed to vent frustration in a venue that wouldn't just respond with : get over it. And also don't want to dump on my wife and worry her more. I do alot of household and garden stuff but she's working, paying and managing all the bills. That has her stressed enough as it is.
