There is no title in 1. Sometimes giving up is the only way.

Ah Friday. Is it time to start drinking yet?

No.

It bothers me that our whole society is built upon the mon-friday work week thing. We even instill it into our kids. Yup you have to go to school from this time to this time every week. Only on the weekends are you free. You get thrown into a setting where there are people you don’t know potentially don’t like, but you’re going to work with them because you don’t have a choice and you’re graded on your ‘group participation’. That kid? He’s got a bad homelife so it’s okay if he hits you. Stop being a tattletale.

Of course you have chores and homework you have to do before you can go and do what you want, then some parents enforce curfews and bedtimes during the weekend.

How’s this relate to work?

Yeah gonna need you hear monday through Friday 8 till 5. Here’s people you can’t stand but you have to work with them, most likely they will end up stealing your work and putting their name on it. But that guy knows someone or his father/mother does. So you better be nice to him. Also going to need this project finished before the weekend, or you get to work the weekend, whatever i’m going on vacation.

Then the weekend hits and well it’s time to get… distracted. Drunk/high mesmerized by a game or the tv… until you’re tired and go to sleep. And hopefully it’s enough to make you forget that come monday you have to do this shit all over again.

Drinking doesn’t solve it. But it makes it tolerable. I’m a former heavy alcoholic, I quit because it was affecting too much of my life. I’m proud to say i did it without God or AA.

Of course you have to want to change and want to stop.

Also i moved to a remote town that didnt’ have bars and the closest bar was over 1 hour driving away.

I’ve had lots of luck with drunk driving. 0 DUI’s So I thought about risking it, but my son is getting older and I need to be more responsible.

So i got back into gaming. That’s numbing me enough to continue on I suppose.

Still a lot of bitterness though. About life, the universe. Everything.
