So this showed up on my feed a few days ago and ever since then I can’t get this quote out of my head.

What the fuck am I doing?

Working over 12 hours a day, only getting to go to bed with my husband and kid 2 nights out of the week, sometimes not even getting a single day off between my two jobs, holding my baby for maybe an hour or two after getting home just to go to bed to get four hours of sleep to repeat this shitty process all over again.

I tell myself it’s the right thing to do because I have a family to support, but it’s breaking my heart that I spend more time at work than at home.

I’ve been saying it for months, but I have to go down to one job. I can’t keep going on like this.

NASA Probe Gets Close-Up Views of Large Hurricane on Saturn

PASADENA, Calif. - NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has provided scientists the first close-up, visible-light views of a behemoth hurricane swirling around Saturn’s north pole.

In high-resolution pictures and video, scientists see the hurricane’s eye is about 1,250 miles (2,000 kilometers) wide, 20 times larger than the average hurricane eye on Earth. Thin, bright clouds at the outer edge of the hurricane are traveling 330 mph(150 meters per second). The hurricane swirls inside a large, mysterious, six-sided weather pattern known as the hexagon.

“We did a double take when we saw this vortex because it looks so much like a hurricane on Earth,” said Andrew Ingersoll, a Cassini imaging team member at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. “But there it is at Saturn, on a much larger scale, and it is somehow getting by on the small amounts of water vapor in Saturn’s hydrogen atmosphere.”

Scientists will be studying the hurricane to gain insight into hurricanes on Earth, which feed off warm ocean water. Although there is no body of water close to these clouds high in Saturn’s atmosphere, learning how these Saturnian storms use water vapor could tell scientists more about how terrestrial hurricanes are generated and sustained.
