Quote from truebird on August 29, 2026, 11:22 am@kathleen42 I get it. Work’s rough when you’re the only one who’ll listen to the old guy bitch about his truck for 20 minutes. Happens at my diner, this one guy, Carl, talks my ear off every Sunday after church. He’s got no one else. Took me a sec to realize he wasn’t just lonely, he needed that space. Now I bring him coffee while he vents and don’t clock out early. Small thing, but weirdly feels like church. Opinions on how much of yourself to give at work without burning out? Or am I way too soft?
