i was due for one of these

In other news, I really think I'm starting to turn into a bitter old man. And I haven't even hit 30 yet.

I guess these are some reasons:

Working for the last six years in a row of high-theft retail in first a rich person's mall and then mall a few minutes from Seattle's only ghetto has pretty much soured me on humanity. I have pretty much seen ( Read more... )

I am giving you hugs right now. :(

I know I'm not someone who really talked to you on a regular basis or anything. I guess part of that is me feeling kinda shy about reaching out to people. But I'm pretty much always around if you wanna say hi or anything. ;o

Thank you sir.

I might take you up on that, though I also don't usually initiate conversations without a reason...

Thanks. I don't really feel like... depressed, but it just sucks that this is how it is.

No argument that retail is like a buffet of some of the lamest society has to offer and my jobs weren't even in hi-theft areas.

Yeah, I never had a lot of friends (I guess I've always connected with stories in fiction because of that), but any ones I have worth mentioning live out of state.

Well, I did import you a couple from down here. You should go visit them sometime, because I know they don't get a lot of company either.

Ah, yeah, we're working on getting a free day for all three of us, actually.

I used to have a decent amount of friends in my hometown. I just moved here and haven't really tried, I guess. I spent time with my roommate or my girlfriend or on the innerbent.

If you're a bitter old man, Barry, then you're my favorite bitter old man. <3 ( ... )

Yeah, definitely a no in the LP field.

I would like to move out of retail eventually, but I feel that this seems to be a bad time. :P

And you are right about goals. I have always had difficulty setting life goals... My money right now, unfortunately, if it is being saved, is going towards a new car.

I guess if I count as a shut-in nerd with a full-time job who lives with his girlfriend, then sure, you could say that. Actually, you are pretty much right.

I had a lot of friends back in my hometown through friends of friends. My coworkers mostly aren't the type of people I'd like to hang out with outside of work. In fact, except for one, they're either ten years older or ten years younger than me. Not that it would stop me, but eh.

>>My coworkers mostly aren't the type of people I'd like to hang out with outside of work.

Haha, yeah, I know that pain too. I might not be the youngest person here anymore, but the only other guy in my company with anything approaching similar interests is my friend that works the night shift. Everyone else is, like, the fishing/football on Sunday/golf shirt/pickup truck-driving type.
