Mondays are okay now and the depressed sunday completely vanished.
No more Sunday Scaries?
I was talking to some friends once on a Sunday and they were being a bit quiet so I asked what was up and they said they had the “Sunday Scaries.” I had to inquire what the sunday scaries were and bashfully noted that I’ve never felt that before. Made me realize how much I love doing what I do!
First time I heard the term was while listening to Mr Ballen back in the day.
I was considering posting “Thank god it’s monday” on casual conversation earlier today, as that usually means peace of mind with kids back in school, SO at her job, and I at home working remotely.
Buying clothes without missing buttons or holes in em was cool.
Being able to rent an apartment where there was 1 couple per bedroom also, very nice.
Not having to steal food whenever I could, also, a lot easier. That tension headache I carried for like five years melted.
Salary.
(and the work got more meaningful, not some marketing bullshit anymore)

The quality of life that came with a regular schedule (having all weekends off!) and the higher salary is immeasurable. I am not stressed about money anymore and I have time to do activities with friends and family.
Being able to have car trouble and… not be stressed about it. Chill bosses so i can take the day off without issue, good financial position to deal with it and not panic about money.
Shits nice, this is literally my day today lol
I actually put in a full effort into what I do. My previous manager would find something wrong with anything I did even if i did it exactly like they said. Why bother doing high quality work when your boss is a miserable person and will just make up shit about how it’s bad or wrong anyway.
I moved from the place where the roof previously fell on me and I nearly died of cholera. That was very cool! I also haven’t been hospitalized for exhaustion from overwork since.
I bought a safer motorbike, and invested in tools to let me get even better jobs. I even saved up and eventually bought some land!
…I’m still a cheapskate though. Old habits die hard, haha.
Mostly a lot more money.
Stability. Not having to worry if my job is still secure by next year is such a sweet feeling.
I might not earn as much as I could, but knowing that I have secured a good income all the way to my pension (barring any calamities) is definitely worth it.
Did you get tenure?
No, I got a permanent contract for a well paying job in the public sector. The job security is great and there’s a solid pension plan.
It’s what my partner likes to call an “iron rice bowl” :)
I got to work from home, got to improve my home office setup, and I have been able to buy a house. I love being able to live with my wife and partner and being able to not freakout about a surprise bill.
Wife _and_partner?
