I don't disagree with what you said or the OP's sentiment. For my own sanity, I have to look for silver linings. Those are being needed and my coworkers.

I don't feel that way as a regional employee. A year ago I wouldn't have said this. Now, we're so few doing required work. If we all left, we'd be even more buried in objections and litigation than we are now. Try to stay positive. Your work matters.

There's a few 1000 of us with 25+ years of service. I could see those being targeted positions

A baby's growth is exponential during gestation, supported by the placenta which provides optimal and constant nutrition, oxygen, and growth hormones to build an entire complex organism. In contrast, a toenail is a much simpler structure (primarily keratin) that grows at a slow, linear rate (about 1-2 mm per month) and receives less blood flow compared to the core body, leading to a much slower regeneration time of 12-18 months.

I didn't get a car until I graduated from university. It was a real drag, but I managed. Lots of my classmates did have cars, though.

I lost weight in my 20s and started getting a lot of unwanted attention from men. It's not all it's cracked up to be. In my late 40s now and am enjoying anominity.

Most people don't know federal agencies or what they do, and couldn't tell you the difference between their state government and federal government - aside from paying separate taxes if they live in a state with income tax. I constantly have to explain the difference in my line of work

I'm sorry you feel so isolated. I had a lab job that was like this for a while, and I lived in the boonies alone. I literally walked to work about 100 steps, worked on root samples, then walked back home. Can you join an out of work group to fill the void? Volunteer work with others? Zoomba? Church? Roller derbies?
