Lucky you! I work at Subway so I can't do that lol.

Ah, I'm a professional TV watcher... I mean, security consultant... so I tend to have a lot of time on my hands. Not always a good thing!

@Andrew Knight, professional TV watcher XD I wouldn't mind switching from making subs for drunks to watching TV for a living lol.

Boy is it boring, though! My job description actually puts me right there with you on drunks, though, as I mainly deal with healthcare crisis', and that involves a lot of substance abuse

@Andrew Knight, Yikes sounds rough.

@Civil Disobediance, it's a job. Subway sounds rough to me haha. I hated food service ;P Respect for being able to put up with it!

@Andrew Knight, Words can't describe the hatred I feel towards my job lol. But I stay there for my daughter. My boyfriend makes enough for us to just get by but without my job, we wouldn't have the money for anything extra. I was pretty poor growing up and I want my daughter to have as much as I can give her. I don't want her to have to eat in soup kitchen or have to get clothes from free clothes drives like I had to.

@Civil Disobediance, exactly the position my wife and I are in, without the baby. She isn't a huge fan of her job either, but she's in college and we'd really be scraping by without her. I grew up very privileged but my parents drilled me in the value of hard work, so I was out as soon as possible (three weeks after graduating high school). I put my time in at a dead end job (we lived paycheck to paycheck for a year, and had about $20 in the bank each week after bills). Now I'm luck enough to make enough by my self, and she takes care of the extras. The struggle is real, you're not alone!

@Andrew Knight, To quote The Outsiders, "Things are tough all over."

@Civil Disobediance, perfect quote!

@Andrew Knight, my favorite book. I don't know if you ever read it (or watched the movie) but basically means that no matter what you're circumstances (in this instance, whether you're rich or poor) everybody has problems.

@Civil Disobediance, I loved the Outsiders, I read it when I was about thirteen. I actually just incorporated this whole concept into the end of the latest chapter of my NaNoWriMo project before this conversation!

@Andrew Knight, that's when I first read it, too :D I've read it like six times since then, though lol.
