one thing I do not like about being an adult is when I have a day (mostly) off and as soon as everyone around me knows that they all assign me Tasks and shit so I don't actually have a day off anymore, I have a day of unpaid, more exhausting work, except it's for people I care about and who care about me so I can't complain. But I'm doing that right now because none of them have Cohost.
Anyways I have to wake up at 4:30am tomorrow I do not want to send help
it's like "oh I have tomorrow off, maybe I can finally catch up on X or start that Y that I've been meaning to get around to."
"oh you have tomorrow off? That's great! That means you can do Z."
"Oh, I... Okay!"
One of my few escapes from this cycle is going to see my dad about 30 minutes away from home, hanging out with him for a day or two. But now my parents are getting weirdly cagey about me going anywhere or doing anything that isn't either my current job or directly related to me trying to find a new job. It's very tiring.
