What's going on with your life?

[blackdog]

Got the job.

Doesn't feel as rewarding as I'm afraid I was the only applicant or the only they interviewed. Anyway, starts already next week!

Now I need to get this damn computer, go back to level design and hopefully get into video games for real, soon.

And who will ask him : so, share your "treasure" !

I left a teaser for you all in the women appreciation thread in EOT.

Be warned, depressing rant filled with self pity coming up. 

 

You know I got a lot to be thankful for this year. I survived the closing of my department. I found a new and better job. I finally got my wish and became a dad and despite all of that I really feel like shit. I tried to ignore it because it feels so selfish and ungrateful. But I can no longer deny that I'm unhappy. Waving achievements around doesn't do anything for me.

 

Life has changed. I hate my new job, I truly hate it. Fuck the money, I just want out. But there is a new merger coming up in April so let's see if I still have a job then. Hopefully there will be better opportunities available to me because of said merger. It's not the work btw, it's the colleagues. I despise them. It's all backstabbing and gossip. It really feels like King's Landing. Everyone fucking each other over to be in the King's grace. 

 

I barely see my friends anymore. It's fading. Partly my fault, mostly due to a lack of time and conflicting schedules. My wife is working again. We don't have family nearby to help out so it all comes down to us doing it or having to drive an hour just so her parents can watch the little one. I can't get rid of my house. It's a 2 room apartment. There's no separate room for the baby. There's no room for my home office (I work a lot from home). There's not a moment rest. I don't see my wife a lot and when we do we're both exhausted and irritated about all the stress. There have been better days for us. So in truth, I'm actually kinda lonely. I miss lan parties with my friends, having movie nights, table top gaming or just go out to the new Imax flicks or for a drink and a dinner. I could probably improve this situation but I'm just too fatigued. All I do is eat which isn't making me any happier in the long run. 

 

Even doing stuff for the Core doesn't give me the satisfaction it once did. Nothing does really. Not even gaming. Sometimes I can't even summon the will to masturbate. God I'm depressed

Stick in there buddy, it's not over yet! I know for me no matter how badly life piles on the shit, getting active can really boost those happiness levels!

 

As a university drop out that struggled to find a job, is now in full time employment, starting to rent with the mrs and I found I have barely any time to scratch my arse let alone enjoy some time to myself gaming or anything... Life's a bitch!

 

There just aren't enough hours in the day!

 

I hope your job sorts itself out so you get to focus on more stuff for yourself

Just hang in there!

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Can't say that things are going better but I'm hanging in there

[dux]

It's only temporary. I haven't heard a single story from new parents where the beginning was difficult with either work, homes, family, money or something. It all works out eventually. It just takes time and it's a test of character.

Sorry for getting back at it late. As I said you you already: hang in there!

Are you looking around for some new job possibilities?

While for the family issue, could it be possible to have family look after the baby for a few days, so that you would have the chance to spend some quality time with the wife, just to unplug, relax and recharge batteries?

You really need to get rid of that job including dickhead collegues sprony, and sell that house. Pretty sure things would get better if you get rid of these two burdens
