Thought this many a time. Can't help it. We all love sports, or else we wouldn't be up at 2-3-4 AM discussing sports on a message board. For better or worse, we all love sports.

I have to be somewhere two days a week for a total of about 12 hours. I'm not really looking for sympathy here.

Also, glad Spurs won today. Wanted to wake up at 9 to catch it live, but FOX was kind enough to show a relay so I could drunkenly sleep in until 1030. Luckily tomorrow,I can sleep in to whenever the fuck I want. Funemployment has its benefits, I suppose.

part of the reason i'm drunk is that i can sleep until 1:30 if i want to. shift work has its benefits.

the best benefit is being able to tell people when i can and can't hang out with them. a lot of times i have to turn down real friends, but sometimes i can also just make stuff up to turn down people i don't like

Don't I know it. Used to love getting drunk at 8 AM after an overnight shift while watching everyone else going to work. You work weekends and all hours, you deserve a little FU to the M-F 9-5 types.

spent all weekend moving into my new apartment.

what did i miss guys?

Dear Baltimore Resident and Sorta Philly Sports Fan,

don't talk to me today

shut up

shut up

I don't care about the Flyers right now

stop

I hate sports

hey guys, I'm having trouble even looking at the main board and maybe you are, too, so help me out with a major life decision!

should I move back in with my parents for six months... a year... basically until I get a better job?

PROS

- save money, lots of money. I think, based on my brothers, my rent would be 200, which would be 375 less a month right there, although the 180 a month Trailpass would knock a lot of that out. but I would save ~40 on electric, 20 on internet, 13 on netflix. and the main savings would be on me not going out all the time

- drink less

- read more, apply to more jobs, basically spend my weekday nights doing more cerebral things, although that might just involve the Thor omnibus

- can afford to go on actual trips. I have friends in far flung places who I can't see now because I just suck so much at saving. my new weekends would be quality over quantity

- TV on an actual TV

- pay down credit cards

- get in shape. my Dad has a treadmill and weights


CONS

- no sex for a year, new girlfriend probably definitely not happening. not like I was macking it now

- terrible daily commute on the train

- kinda embarrassing. I'm 29 and this would be a step back

- imposition on parents. I know my Mom would love to have me but I'm not so sure how my Dad would feel. they finally got down to just one kid in the house

- can Plax come? potential dealbreaker

- some weekends will be me just being bored

- can't play my music loud


thanks in advance!

Could you split the difference and move in with a roommate who'd be a good influence?

jamie just moved into a new apartment. he seems like an upstanding young man.

Dont take this the wrong way (you asked) but it sounds like most of the "savings" you would get by moving into your parents' house (both financial and liver-related) could be accomplished through some additional self-discipline. It's like moving into with your parents is will force you into doing things that you don't think you can do on your own. That's silly. Make it work on your own. You're a grown man now.

I'll take Plax if need be

it's true

I'm with Trent on this one. I'm sure you could easily find ways to save 150 bucks a month from limiting beer intake and weed. I'm not sure how much you usually spend on drinks when you go out. I average around 25 bucks, which takes into consideration the nights I have to drive and only spend around 10-12 bucks. I would actually make a spreadsheet, tracking how much money you spend on vices, and see where you can cut it back.

At 29, I would avoid living with my parents.

I ate and drank enough pizza and beer this weekend to satisfy the Andorran army.
