Store where I work was just purchased, which is good news because the old owner wasn't into it for a long time and the place was basically rotting slowly. I was promoted to Cheese dept. Manager just a few months before the sale, which I am all about, but my coworkers do not know anything about cheese. Customer has a question? Is Wisdom_from_the_ages on his break? Ask anyway. That's a minor source. Anyway, our store has an extremely sweet niche. We buy our distributor's short coded product for pennies, clean it up, and sell it for a fraction of it's original value if it's still okay. We just had a sale and it was my first go. Just about ran out of cheese, causing me to scramble when I got back from my weekend. I have never seen the inventory so low so I start panicking and the new owners weren't impressed. Lots of other work stress, but I'd normally be able to deal with it.

Except that my friend and I were looking for an apartment together because rent is too high in my town, and he just informed me that he foumd a place with someone else. So he's not my friend and now I'm alone in my search for a new place to live in two months.

And my mom is depressed and argued with me about how she can never be happy unless she can go back home and basically spend the rest of her life high and alone. At the moment she's living at my aunt's, her sister's place, working and saving after a many years stint of unemployment that caused us all to fear for her life. Now she wants to go back to that state and has threatened me that I would no longer be her son to her if I told her sister she's still spending her paycheck on weed. Not even smart buys either, but 100 an 8th, an 8th at a time.

And man, I have not had a serious relationship in years. I am lonely as shit.

Sorry for the essay. I know other people have more stress but they also tend to have better coping systems and more friends or someone to hug them and say things will be okay sometimes.
