a lab technician. basically i make and repair dentures. its a relaxing job for the most part and i do good work. i appreciate the positive feedback always, as should you all for your respective jobs, no matter how meaningless it may seem at the time.

it really kills me when people say, "why should someone at mcdonalds get 15 an hour just for flipping burgers" when that person answers phones for a living. no job is too little. we all deserve livable wages.

Right now, unemployed. Looking for part time gig of some of some sort, 25 hours a week at most. I'm frugal as fuck so money drips out of my account very slowly anyway and I currently reside in my family home.

I want to screen-write though more than write books as I tend to read mainly non-fiction anyway.

I have only one idea, maybe two for books; the rest are screenplays.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 19 22:22:35 2016 No.8060784 >>8060398 Lab technician sounds like such a fascinating job considering how low experience (I assume) the requirements are, if I wasn't moving every 3 months I'd definitely go for a position like that

Bar manager.
I don't get much time to write, but at least I'm working on my sarcasm and cynicism as well as slowly losing faith in humanity.
>inb4 am I writing an autobiography?
No, that would be very selfish and rather uninteresting.
