At my work, I've been taking twice as long to do things that would normally be quick tasks. I'm operating the best I can but I often feel like my clients aren't extending the same level of understanding and patience I am putting out there.

It's good to have an outlet like drawing. Maybe branch out to new mediums? I've been seeing some cool embroidery stuff and I think I might give it a try. There's no way it can be as expensive as my other hobby, toy collecting, right?

Yeah. I hate retail, but most of the job openings in my area are warehouse/Amazon or more retail. And I want to quit, but my parents are pulling Ye Olde "don't quit until you have another job lined up" shtick.
I'm unhappy here, but I'm hoping reducing my hours and getting work closer to home will give me time to decompress.

I'm also working in game design. Been working on a card game for 5 years now (to simply put it, Furry Fire Emblem) and I feel like I'm in the final stretch, artwork notwithstanding. Got two other game ideas, too, one more complete than the other.

My father's been pestering me about putting more time into what I consider a hobby; saying if I put more time into it, I'd have it done by now, bringing up my stress at work and desire to quit as a reason I should work on it harder. I hate parents sometimes.
