It’s the busiest and most stressful time ever in my career due to my line of work (leave of absence for a company with 200,000+ employees), and then added onto that I am taking the last (and most difficult and time-consuming) class for a certification. I know I can’t complain too much because at least I can work from home and I am still employed. Still, I am often at the verge of a mental breakdown.

I can’t get irritated by people who say they are bored who lost their job; however I am so fucking tired of getting bothered by family members and friends that don’t understand that I don’t have as much free time on my hands right now to chat and are complaining about boredom to me. Maybe it’s just the assumption of others that everyone must be bored due to the pandemic that is so irritating.
