Yeah, I understand this and do it daily.
I've worked 2 and 3 jobs at a time my whole life. I still work 2 jobs.
I haven't been able and none of my Xer friends either to go out together because all of us are working like this. See we are taking care of our parents AND our kids.
SO if we seem a bit bitchy, it's because we are tired. Some of us are tired and doing all this while fighting life altering medical stuff. Some of us are just dead inside from exhaustion. I'm tired. I'm exhausted. And I know I'll drop dead working.
Scots Irish (and non Scots Irish normed to that culture) are proud and stoic. There is a long history there and in many ways their distrust of "the system" is justified given how it failed them in both the UK and here.
Well, the ones in Appalachia are sure doing everything they can to themselves to see that they fail. It is beyond pathetic.
