An update:

Right now I am scrambling to find another part time job that is not overnight, offers decent pay and is not public service desk oriented.

I feel like I have been looking for work forever.  And when I look back at my resume/cover letter drafts they are dated over consecutive years for almost a decade now.

It would be super nice to just be happy and comfortable in a job situation for a good duration of time.  Sometimes I think I need to do graduate studies to be more profitable.  I worry that I will never get ahead without some kind of advanced degree.  But then I realize how time consuming that would be and how I already owe so much in student loans.  It can really be an overwhelming mental loop and I tend to shut down when I try to process too much at once.

I really just want to make enough money to live a good life with my girl.  I want a living space that offers her a room of her own.  I want to take care of my cats.  And I want to go to yoga school too.  All of these things are difficult right now.

Luckily I have some monetary resources in my family and loved ones.  Without them I would be so screwed.
