If you want to make money, become a dishwasher at restaurant.
They almost entirely hire drug addicts and felons.
A normal person would get fired in no seconds at all.

But it's a shit job.

I guess read more books? They're cheap if you join a library.
Maybe woodworking or something?

Honestly, I'm in the same boat.
I'm drunk now. Already drank like 1/3 of vodka.
Wish I had something else to fill my time

>>16909272
Well the thing is I used to work 15 hours a day counting driving around with 2 jobs making minimum wage.

Suddenly I work 40 hours nearing 60k and I don't know what to do with myself.

My mother always told me the good part about working all the time is you don't have any time to spend the money and now I know the feeling. All my ideas involve spending money.

>>16909290
I'm right with you buddy.
Got the same 9-5 shit.
I come home around 4, cook for a few hours, and then I have like 4 hours of nothing.

I watch an episode of something, play a video game for an hour, and that's still 2 hours left.
I just keep drinking to pass the time.

Maybe we need friends?

>>16909294
I know! I keep having that stupid idea of starting up my dating profile again and then I remember that I swore that off like 2 years ago and I'm really hesitant to try it again.

I'm trying to use meetup.com more. Thinking of getting into like wood working or woodburning or something.

>>16909294
Are you guys me? I have "friends" but they will never message me first, so I have to take the lead all the time, and even if I do its like pulling out teeth trying to move something from a plan to action. So I kinda threw that shit away for the past couple months and have been going to random places solo. Clubs, bars, movies, etc. Still feeling empty, but I have a good job and an abundance of disposable cash, but no one to spend it with/on

>>16909304
I used OKcupid in the past and it worked pretty good.
Try that.

>>16909311
I'm with both of you.
I get home, I deal with supper, get ready for the next day, and then I have so many hours to burn.

Like, I want to stop drinking so much, but what am I going to replace it with?
Whenever I spend a night totally sober, I keep thinking "I wish I was drunk now, this would be fun".

>>16909322
Just that stupid dead stare at my computer screen like, "God dammit I'm just sitting here sober and bored again".

>>16909331
Jesus, you're fucking me.

I want to try to learn to play the guitar, but like, why bother?
It just feels like time wasting.
Are we alcoholics?

>>16909338
It's possible that money is slowly turning me into an alcoholic.

>>16909338
We're all definitely alcoholics

>>16909343
I know right?
I got a new job a month back.
And now I don't feel as bad about buying a litre of vodka.
Because now I can afford it.
So why does it matter that I do?
I worked my fair share of the day.
Don't deserve some release?
Jesus.

He's right >>16909346

We're all drunks without a given reason to not be.
Like, I've fucken learned to show up at work so hung over I can barely see.
But I can do my job. And do it well that no one notices.

>>16909338

>wow dude you are literally me!!!

I fucking hate every single autist saying this fucking line always like if we gave a fuck.

>>16909354
One of my minimum wage jobs used to be as a barback at a casino and I hated it but it was supposed to be a stepping stone to becoming a bartender.

Well that didn't pan out because I got this job but I've also thought of getting back into it on weekends. The problem isn't that I'll drink the liquor, I'm not worried about that. It's that I'll just end up too exhausted for the M-F job because those guys always work nights unless you're just the day guy with no seniority.

Donate plasma. 60 for first 4 visits. Twice a week. Then 25 and 40. At least at my location. Crazy I haven't done it sooner.

>>16909371
Oh yeah I forgot I'm O-. I think I never did plasma because I wasn't old enough or something and then just forgot about it altogether.

Thanks anon.

>>16909368
I had as similar job.
Dishwasher.
The bottom fucking barrel.
I used to stress so much about affording cheap vodka.
But now, like, I can buy primo shit, but I always buy the cheap vodka.
Is that better?

I think if I bought the good stuff, I'd pretend like I'm sophisticated, instead of being a fucking drunk

>>16909399
Idk try running it through a water filter a couple time and see if that does anything.

The only "expensive" shit I buy of anything is tequila because that stuff makes me so sloppy the only kind I'll drink straight is the smoother kinds. I use a lot of skyy and kahlua for nights, and chambord and baileys for my coffee when I'm in the mood.

>>16909464
I like to take Tequila shots.
It feels good.
But I'm onto Vodka now.
Both cheap and tastes OK.
I like to have a bottle of soda (diet) and a glass of vodka.
Take a shot, and then a sip of the soda.

Cheap and effective.
