Zule, did you have any formal training or did most of those places train you? I'd like to work with my hands for a while but I don't know what to look into. I'm so sick of customer service but that's the only experience I have.
No problem.

Robbi spies the bottle of Baileys, grabs a mug, blows the dust out of it, then sits back down on her now warmed stool

Yep, customer service. I'm back to doing that. It pays the rent, and I don't have to think about it anymore. I have about a decade of experience in it.

Did 3d media in college but never graduated, and that’s kind of the problem I'm a super generalist, did wood working plastics welding, casting, finishing, and a shit load of other stuff but I'm not certified in anything.

I don't see working with your hands as having a lot of future and making things seems to be a lot less valued than selling things. I could never make it as a sales person though so I'm kind of stuck. I have considered school for web design or animation but haven't done anything about it yet.

Much appreciated, Sammich. The stool next to me is vacant, if you don't mind me stroking your leg and squeezing your hand every so often.

I'd really like to get into something else, I'm just not quite sure what. Though I do know what I don't want to do. I've got some dreams tucked away.

Z, that's part of my problem as well. I want to do lots of things for short periods of time instead of investing in one particular thing.

Making things like custom furniture is one thing selling it for what it's worth is another. no one I've know who has tried it has made any money at it.

I'd love to own my own business someday. I just have no idea of how to go about it. Customer service is just so dull. I get so sick of waiting around for people to show up so I can help them. I need more variety.

Is that bottle of Jag still around?

Good night all

I'll just busy myself cleaning up the Bar. Geez, there's a lot of dust all over everything. Has anyone checked the hottub lately?

The door opens. Blueniteowl steps in, frowning

Well, my snack just wasn't what I was looking for. Ahhh, that hot tub looks mighty nice right about now.

Obviously wound up on coffee, RobbiDobbs cleans up around the Bar, humming to the classic rock radio station. She looks rather pleased with herself, and doesn't seem to mind being alone in the Bar.

Dum-dee-dee-dum...

After checking the pH of the hottub, washing the dishes, and dusting off the booze bottles, she jumps up onto the bar, lays down on it, and giggles

What a *fun* place this is! Too bad the others don't work swing. I'm wide awake. Ah, well.

She then jumps off, pulls her jacket on, does a piroette, arms outstretched, turns off the radio, and dances out the door.
I'll be in my blanket fort until further notice.

Blueniteowl returns from bathroom, sighs, turns radio back on and hops in hottub.

She's dissapointed certain people didn't wait around. She was just in the bathroom for a couple of minutes.
