Two jobs, one on an ambulance and another in a hospital ER. Plenty of downtime so vidya and shitposting galore.

>Tfw met someone who plays Bravely Default 2 weeks ago
Came in with a knee dislocation, he got knocked down a flight of stairs in a train station because of some impatient asshole. Apparently there were two others that went down with him, the guy responsible was uppercutted by the son of an older woman that was shoved.

High school drop out that works in a factory full time, pretty good pay so I'm not complaining. Comes close to 1150 1250 per week, could be more sometimes since overtime. Also a ausfag so games are sort of expensive, but I've been spending more on weebshit lately.

I have a full-time job. It's pretty shit, tho. The wage is only 2310€ a month.

I have the money to buy all kinds of vidya, but I don't have time to play any of it. Instead I'm trying to manage my full-time job, studying for university and keeping up with my hobbies (gym and cycling).

I just want to play vidya all day ;_;.

Bingo. It's like what my pops always told me.
When you're young, you have all the time in the world, but no money to spend.
When you're old, you have all the money you need, but no time to enjoy it.

Got laid off, which is okay.

Right now, I'm just interviewing for a few companies to take the next big step for my career.

It can get a little soulcrushing sometimes when I get to the third and final round and don't get the job. Professional jobs are a bitch.

I don't. I've been a NEET living with my parents for 10 years. I've had odd jobs here and there that failed miserably due to my un-diagnosed adult ADD and severe social anxiety. I'm not proud of it but I've been pirating anything and everything, there has been a few games that I've actually felt bad about pirating cause they were legitimately good games. The PC I built 6 years ago is starting to struggle though, so that really fucking blows. My parents "tolerate" me, as in they let me stay in the loft and try to forget their miserable failure of a son exists. They stopped buying me shit a long time ago and I cant ask for anything or they'll tell me to fuck off.

Recently I've gotten on medicaid (kek) and started seeing some psych who is making progress in making me a functional human being. He actually understands my issues instead of just seeing me as a lazy fuck like everyone else. Last week he prescribed me concerta which from what I understand is basically Ritalin it actually makes me feel normal instead of brain dead, so I think I might try the job thing again soon.

Anyway thanks for reading my blog, be sure to subscribe.

Thanks man. It's been so painful to see all of the new GPU's and Processors coming out. I want nice stuff.

Also what the fuck is with people claiming to get Autismbux? Are they not from the U.S or something? I talked to this doctor about it and he said social security income is nearly impossible to get unless you are severely fucked up both physically and mentally.

The O-side have AOC (areas of concentration) not MOS, but its basically the same system. I am a 72D which is an Environmental Science Officer. I was a 68S, Preventive Medicine, before commissioning and i enjoyed that quite a lot...but listened to my CO at the time and tried to commission in the same path as him. Net result is I am just in a medical company that doesn't even need me for my job, I'm just a slot-fill because my real position stupidly filled twice.

Honestly best advice is find something that sounds interesting to you. Picking jobs that can have varied units will be a mixed bag. IE if you are 92Y (unit supply) you will go to almost any unit. So go to infantry? You'll be in the field doing dumb shit all the time. Go to medical? You'll relax a decent amount.

Going something specific for a specific purpose is best, in my opinion. Mechanics, supply, human resources, combat medics all can go anywhere really.
Up to you mate
