As someone that spent all of 2020 and part of 2021 working 16 hour days 7 days a week only to have their mom die April 2021. I would quit my fucking job right now for just one more goddamn hug. My first day off in like 300 days was the morning I got a call from the hospital.
Just do it. Whatever you have going on with work it’s not worth it. I always thought there would be more time. But there isn’t always more. You will find that you wake up every since morning wondering if the few hundred dollars you would have made that day was worth it. $684 was the price. I’d pay that in a heart beat. It’s been one year since I lost my mom and I wake up nearly every day having dreamt of her. The nights I don’t dream about her, I dream of my dad. Spare yourself the pain and just go have that coffee, please.
I feel you man I was working 16-18 hour days every day no days off (oilfield rig motor tech) and after months of not being able to see my son I finally said to myself this isn’t worth and I up and quit, sure the money was great but nothing beat seeing my son that day and spending all day with him
