Does having a shitty job keep anyone else from ending it all? Who else only gets outside to buy groceries and go to work? I can't be the only one
Why do they know your name at Walmart?
yes i said this before i looked forward to work as it's the only way of talking to anyone. i hated that when i was bagging someone's food i tried getting their numbers as anxiety would happen if i went to the bars.

I work the night shift (11pm-5am) at this really cool pizza restaurant I stumbled upon. All the employees there are nice and sometimes drunk customers will come in and ask for my number, which I think is flattering.
There's still, as always, a level of disconnect that I feel from everybody, but it's a nice job. The pay is pretty crappy but I get to interact with interesting people and they let me do whatever when it gets slow. My manager often gets in fights with customers and carries a large knife in his pocket. Whenever I mess up he just laughs and tells me to chill out.
I'm the type of person that needs a job or else I'll drown in loneliness.
