Hey RB

It's tricky business. Currently, BF and I have multiple catch-22s revolving around the subject of work. Can't stand being in damned if you do, damned if you don't situations (and having them all tangled up is…. argh!)

So if you can tolerate the smaller amount of time, you might be pleasantly surprised by the level of tenacity you have within yourself.
You can look for another job, one that is better suited to you, in the meanwhile, yes?
Can't tell you what to do of course, just thought I'd throw a couple things to consider out there.
(Also, curious… BF said "we"? Does he not work?)
