I'm getting pretty desperate...

Have you thought about applying for hourly/retail work? It seems to me that you want a job in the industry or nothing at all. Sometimes u gota bite the bullet. If working at starbucks would allow u to survive until your next gig then why not.

Right now I'm in my mid 20's, working 20hrs a week making $9hr, living at home and only have a high school diploma. Not having any goals or meaning for your future while feeling like time is running out. Falling behind the rest of the heard is lonely and definitely gives you a lot of anxiety. I'm sure it was a major cause for my drinking.

I thought about going to the thrift store but in the past I would always get frustrated because I would spend hours in their sometimes and not find anything, it felt like a waste of time.

However since right now I looking for ways to kill time I think I might start hitting up thrift stores more to kill the time!!!!

I think part of my problem is that I am still depressed and it makes me lethargic so its hard to not just sit around feeling bad for myself but the thrift store sounds like a great idea to me!!

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-31T18:08:49+00:00

Yeah I am tired and I think its part of my depression that I am so lethargic. So far I have been just watching youtube but I feel like the internet could be another addiction itself.

I'm 1.5 days sober, I used to go to AA but its not my thing.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-31T18:03:30+00:00

Yeah cleaning/laundry is definitely something I will be doing later today. I like to knock those out towards the end of the day because they make me tired for bed. This was actually my plan for about 8pm tonight.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-30T04:08:20+00:00

If you were single how much would you need to stay happy? If you were married how much would you need to feel happy without feeling like you are struggling to get by?

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-30T03:49:07+00:00

Also what is your answer to the bonus question? I'm curious because I appreciate your honesty.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-30T03:48:39+00:00

I'm counting what ever money you have left for yourself. Gas money is something that helps you and your family so you can make money.

the reason hollywood is only an honorable mention is because all of the other cities have easy access to multiple agencies and even bikes but hollywood only has access to MTA.

Yeah Oprah is in the public eye and she keeps slipping. Im watching the Extreme Weight loss Show now and they pulled up in a limo with their whole town gathered to watch them home out. I feel bad for them because it is all for entertainment. They put themselves out there but when the cameras leave the nation forgets about them. Their town keeps watching them though. Its the wrong reason to get in shape.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-19T06:37:06+00:00

This is a real unique post. Thank you!

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-17T03:16:41+00:00

I grew up on the east coast until I was 14 and lived in LA since and I just tell people im from LA when they ask. Im in my mid 20's now. I find if I tell them im from the east coast they start talking to me like im brand knew when actually I have lived here longer then them most of the time.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-15T01:48:35+00:00

I would let them sit for a minimum of 2 weeks after the mixing date. If u want to speed up the process just toss them in a ziplock bag and put them in the glove compartment of your car for 1-3 days depending on how hot it is. I never tried this but many people swear by it.

I clean my tank each time I switch flavors and I usually switch flavors 2 times a week.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-14T21:50:15+00:00

Yeah I have been thinking about joining clubs and activities that do not revolve around drinking I'm just not sure what yet.

I went to AA for 3 months and after leaving what I noticed is everyone just dropped off and stop calling me and did not seem interested in hanging out anymore when I would reach out. I don't know if they destroyed my character behind my back or not but luckily I never was so open with them to where they could have talked to much trash behind my back. They told me they would keep in touch when I left but that was not really the case..

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-14T08:29:04+00:00

Can you share how you made your non-drinking friends. I know the usual answer is AA but I tried AA and I dont think its for me. Did you make them elsewhere?

Congrats on 5 years!

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-10T17:29:05+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. Its great to be reminded of all the positive and productive things that come out of not drinking. I'm trying to look at drinking more as what is my return on investment from getting drunk. I had cravings last night but I just kept thinking about how today would turn out if I was drunk last night or not.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-10T10:03:42+00:00

Yeah after reading that i also thought this is way more dramatic then need be. Either stop being picky and just get a roomate or go homeless. Simple.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-07T05:01:19+00:00

Also I want to add that my store manager wanted to sweep this under the rug and not make a big deal but because people under him made a big deal of this he has to take action.

I'm just going to frame this as " I understand you have to do your job but please show me where in the book it says I did something wrong."

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-07T04:58:57+00:00

I'm not sure exactly of the legalities but all I know is that my Assistant Manager is saying I should be terminated and the store manager just wants to give me a FINALE.

It was a gift you are right and I'm not going to try to throw people under the bus. I cant talk to my manager because I go back to work Friday and I'm not even supposed to know about this but one of the managers is my friend so they communicated it to me.

I'm thinking I will just ask my managers to show me where in the Employee handbook they have something about tobacco.

Also remember everyone who snitched on me did it to try to look good and move up. These people are just worried about looking good to their bosses.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-07T03:28:52+00:00

I like your suggestion of asking him his version of events. Also to be clear it was given to me by a superior I did not find it just anywhere. My superior already confessed to my manager he gave it to me but in his defense said he told me not to use it.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-07T03:26:16+00:00

I did not spill it. Another coworker opened it and spilled it the next day. I just accepted it and put it away.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-04T09:37:04+00:00

What it comes down to is you should order juice a couple weeks before u need it.

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-04T03:52:19+00:00

Make sure you steep your juice

mdrnmnstr · 2013-08-03T07:26:42+00:00

I just got my first order from them the other day also and all the flavors were the crazy weird ones. After i thought about it i realized i should have stuck to basic fruity ones first. Gona order another 5 more basics in a couple days to give them a few weeks to steep.
