#i work 70 hours a week

[greglephant]

Every minute of every day, I feel like I am just losing everything. I feel like I have no friends. And I feel like I don't go anywhere and I feel like I live my life in smallboxes where I go to work and then I go to work and then I come home and I cook. And I clean and I get the kids to bed and then I go to work and then I go to sleep so I can get up so that I can go to work again. And I don't go out. And I don't do things. I don't talk to people because I'm too tired to make a phone call or send text messages

I'm just i'm tired all the time I have no energy to do any hobbies so im looking at all these dnd books that I have and I look at all these videos i wanna work on and the resin that I wanna make things with and I do nothing. I sit. after cooking and cleaning and working I watch some YouTube videos and I go to sleep. Because I am tired. and I feel alone.

Getting up at 5.45 tomorrow to go to a work seminar in Manchester at 9 to hopefully get back home for around 6.30 so I have time to make it to Leicester so I can go cinema with my mum and watch the Edward Scissorhands ballet broadcast at 7 so I can get back home for probably around 11pm so I can go to bed and get up for work again the next day at 6.55

have long realized that my number one priority for a job is to not have homework. i cannot do the homework lifestyle. i need the 9-5 and when it is 5 i dont think about work until the next day type experience

Thinks about my next series again... I drew the icon for it!

I'm planning to have it launched within a year! I'm hoping for summer 2025. I want to make a prelaunch page before Time and Time Again ends so people can subscribe if they're interested, but I'm worried the series return would be too early...

okay i knew his family was rich, i didnt think 40k a year school fees rich 😭😭😭😭 where did you find that number and do you know if his siblings went to the same school cause thats up to 120k a year in school fees (im not sure what the age difference is)

my friend found it! i think just from his wikipedia page; i knew it was mentioned but i didn't know it had its own article until today lol this is where he went https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Shore_Country_Day_School

and this is the tuition for the current academic year

tbh i assume in the 90s it was much cheaper, like probably to the tune of 20k, but 20k in 1995 was worth about 43k adjusted for inflation so i just decided that they were probably still paying about 40k no matter how you slice it lol. also i wanted to add that i remembered once reading that his mother was the admissions counselor at his high school so i went to fact check myself thinking they maybe got discounted tuition and i looked up the podcast interview that his father did and i think he said that pete had already graduated by the time that dale started working there

also i'm not sure re hilary (2 yrs younger than pete iirc) and andrew (5 yrs younger than pete) tbh but yeah his mother is from a wealthy politically prominent family and idk much about his father's family but i assume they were also like, doing pretty okay lol

Hey dude u ok? You didn't post anything for a while. Hope you're doing well :)

Hi! Thank you, I'm doing alright and am here to explain my absence

Basically, I've been gone for about 2 months and the first month was mostly a break cause I went on vacation for a good portion of it out of state

This second month I have really been buckling down on a very big project for this blog that I have been working on, on and off, for about 6 months! It's definitely the biggest thing I've ever done and, right now, my tentative deadline is sometime before August 21st (cause that's when my classes start again). Based on the way things are going, I think that's very possible to meet! So it's definitely something to look forward to!

I won't be giving any information away right now, but I will say that I'm super proud of it already and really excited to put it out there when it is done. It was originally supposed to be a 1000 follower milestone project that got put on hiatus for a few months due to uni stuff, so I've really just been dedicating this summer to completing it. It's something that I've been wanting to do for a long time but couldn't nail down how I wanted to format the idea, and I've only recently really had the time to put in the effort necessary into making it a real thing!

I definitely meant to get around to answering more asks and doing more overall writing, but like I said, this has been taking a good portion of my energy and time, so all of that is on the back burner right now and will be a more consistent thing when this is out

I'll try to be a tad bit more active and not just disappear off the face of the planet for months at a time too, but in, general, I'm going to be mostly away until I get this done and released

So I definitely apologize for my absence and ask everyone to be patient with me for awhile longer, and also a big thank you for everyone who's still around and I hope you'll continue to stick around!
