Oh, you're good. Even old, I still get a little high strung on some topics. I've worked various forms of service jobs and, yeah, they all sucked. Food has to be one of the absolute worst, retail next. All are still varied degrees of suck. Sales is it's own separate hell hole. Trades people I've been close too don't have it much better, unless they get to a union type gig. Trying to claw out on a new degree, if ...this... is all here by the end of it, haha.
Good to hear things turned up for you, hopefully it'll keep getting better too! No one deserves to experience homelessness. I've lived in trailer parks, uptown, suburban tacky, downtown, nomadic camper, bad side of town... and my homeless stint wasn't long thankfully, compared to the rest of my life, but left the deepest hardest memory. Running closing dish on a mother's day, half staffed shift, covering for fry and bussers, would've been 100x preferred.
