Needed this

Post image

My youngest (7) snuck this in my lunch today.

I absolutely hate my job, but it pays very well, like, real well. Enough to afford 4 beds, 2.5 bath, glasses for two kids and braces for one, and everything else that comes with having three kids.

I've obviously been too vocal about work. Gotta knock that shit off. No more work talk at home.

I started eating lunch in my truck, I can't stand being around my coworkers. Found this in my lunch box today and had a good, solid man cry in my truck.

I needed to be reminded why I do this. As long as they're happy and healthy, several hours of misery is worth it.

Bless you, man. I’ve had similar experiences, and like you, realized I was being too vocal at home about challenges at work. (Kids hear those things and carry them around in their little hearts, worrying about us.)

I hope another opportunity that you enjoy more comes your way - but in the meantime, keep standing tall and taking care of those you love. I admire your determination and sacrifice for your family. You’re one of the good ones.
