ahhhhhh

 

I wish I had more time to reply to threads and PMs asking about PSUs but I just don't have the time these days it seems :/

 

I love my job but it absolutely sucks all hours out of you, and it's like this regardless of what position you work at a car dealership. The hours suck and sometimes you get swamped out of nowhere, and sometimes you go four days without a single sale. For the last three days we sold one car. Then today comes along and I think we sold like 8 or something and I constantly needed to be somewhere. Somewhere in the last few days I drove a Maserati that needed front brakes, thousands of trucks, and a 16-year old Thunderbird with 10k miles. I don't remember what order these things happened in though because I feel like I just work, work, work and they all kinda melt together into one memory where I get by day-to-day on Zyrtec and about 2 gallons of water.

 

Is this what being an adult is like? I feel like I'm not ready for this rollercoaster...

    My best friend is in a similar situation except it is a beer distribution facility and they're constantly short of help. He's had to pull double shifts (16 hour days) and averages almost 60 hours a week. Shit's brutal. I don't work as hard of hours but I'm still drained physically all the time and mentally half the time so yeah being an adult isn't great but I still think it beats the hell out of high school. At least I profit from this torture.

    I think working in the automotive world is really stressful, my good friend owns a performance car repair shop. He always receive a call from people to have him build a custom exhaust for them, sometimes even an engine swap, ECU tuning, wiring, etc.. I mean, having to repair multiple cars while having a deadline (some are tight) can be really stressful. Really hard to ask him to go out, he doesn't seem to have much time to have fun. The only thing to keep him entertained is his phone, browsing social media.

     

    When I was working with cars (mostly rotary engines) I got stressed really easily, something could go wrong anytime but I couldn't have a rest since I needed to meet the deadline. I wanted to sleep but I couldn't, simply because I was too stressed. My friends asked me to go out but I refused, I wanted to go out but I'd be more burdened with work.

     

    Life is getting harder and harder, we went to school, studied a lot of things, then work, work, and work. Then retire, but I don't think I can do much by then since I might be too old.

    Spoiler

    Reminds me of this.... Don't take it too far though, it's just a hasty generalization.
