The wife and I are moving to a bigger city, as I want to enroll in college next year, and we needed to get a new place to live anyway, as this apartment's got some major problems...

I've been living in the States for 3 years now, and 2 of those have been working at the same place, the same shift. And tonight was my last shift.

As the new administration took over, things went down the crapper in many ways, and I've been waiting eagerly to leave that job. But now that I have, I don't know what's bugging me.

Maybe because I have no friends, literally, and my co-workers, which were a great bunch, were my social outlet.

I guess I thought I'd be overjoyed with the idea of not having to work there anymore, and having some time off to pack and whatnot. To unwind from all that shit.

But interestingly, I feel more under the weather than overjoyed.

Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. Probably it's a little like how people who retire must feel, although I am sure it's worse for them.
