Slight change of plans (break for Nov & Dec)

I've decided that, instead of taking a break for December & after KAE's conclusion, I'm going to take a break for November & December. I will now rant about my day job:
My day job is simple on it's own, I take calls, schedule people, and find parts for their lawn mowers and other equipment. HOWEVER, the reason why my job fucking sucks is because the business itself appears to be dying. It's hard to say because it's a mix of "Everything is running the same as it has for years" and "We haven't been able to order parts from X supplier for 5 months because we can't afford to pay their invoice yet". I don't know if things will ever get fixed, but I've been hearing false promises all year that things will get better. I'm the one burdened to hear everyone's complaints on why their lawn mowers haven't been fixed for one, two, or even three months because we can't order parts on time, and my boss is always gone so he never receives the abuse.
We also had a mechanic quit recently. The last time a mechanic quit it took 4 months to replace him; if I have to wait another 4 months for them to replace a warm body that's inexcusable. I'm not tolerating it again. It took so long as well because they NEVER POSTED A FUCKING AD ON INDEED OR ANYWHERE.
I keep telling myself, "Just stick it out until November so you can get your Dr. appointment and then a get a schedule for your neutering," but this place is more draining every day. The benefits are no longer worth it.
So I want to make actual use of my degree and get back into 3D art and get a "real job" where I don't have to worry about this specific flavor of bullshit anymore. I'll spend Nov & Dec relearning the basics and building up my portfolio. Will I be guaranteed a job? No, the gaming industry is difficult to get into, and a shaky business on its own already. At least I could use those skills to make Patreon more rewarding for everyone. Maybe even use Patreon to fund indie games for Furries/cool stuff.
Sorry about my mood. I am just very stressed everyday and it's been getting worse.
NOTE: I will post updates on Patreon & Discord, and I'll probably still finish a comic page or two just so the schedule doesn't come to a complete standstill since I want it to finish it up as well. I'll stream drawing, and, when I'm comfortable, the 3D stuff as well.
Thank you for reading. I just wanted to make the commitment now rather than think I'll tough it through November. I think most of you have noticed that pages are becoming more delayed from the stress, so I hope the break/learning the new skills will fix that.

It really does sound like time for a change. There are other places besides the gaming industry that you might find work, such as in animated art for advertising--just a guess. Anyway, best of luck to you.
