I used to make 40 posts per day maybe.

You were posting zilch for a while too - your post count hardly moved since several months ago. Something called school, amirite? And now that you're working, you still don't have time for it, so what's the big deal? Aren't you used to it?

I thought about 2/10 but judging at other poster's reaction, perhaps 6/10 maybe?
It's 10/10 for sure.

Would read again.
I guess the fact that we have managed to fill a full page over it means that you are right.
Don't just assume that you are right. Verify with the best tools available and if you are wrong, change your mind and you will become right.

Hello community.  I used to post a lot more on the forums, when I had nothing to do.
But slowly, it seems like I've been on less and less.  It feels like I don't have time.
I got a summer job performing retina scans at a hospital, but its long hours (7am-8pm) and I don't even have time to do anything.  Only get paid $10.25 per hour too...
I miss the forums.  I want to post lots again.  I felt like this is somewhere were I was welcome and accepted.  Maybe I should quit my job?
If you miss me enough...

It doesn't that much time for a single post, does it? I mean, this one only took roughly seven seconds.

I used to make 40 posts per day maybe.

Buy me some beer and I'll consider you a poster. I will read up to 65% of 32% of your posts and will reply to them 14% of the time.

40+ hours at 17, that's not legal, is it? Anyway, I used to work 12 hours a day at one point and I can sympathize with your frustrations especially when you get into it after doing absolutely nothing all day long for a solid year. It feels like you gotta check the clock to see if you have enough time to piss and then you gotta fucking waste at least a couple hours on sleep too, bummer. My solution was downgrading to less demanding job, just 40 hours a week, no overtime/weekends. Decreased monetary gain but considerably increased happiness level!

I believe that's only 13 hours, and this is what he actually meant:

Yeah, 40 posts a day in this forum.

I miss it and I'm sick of it.  Why can't I just stay in my room.

Exactly.  And I work saturdays.  I only have 1 day off.  I get paid double on saturday though.

Yep.  Best get used to it Tomoya.  Unless your parents are going to support you for the rest of your life, or you otherwise become independently wealthy at some point, you've probably got another 40 to 50 years of work ahead of you.

Welcome to life. I had to start working and paying half of my parents rent ($400/m) when I turned 14. If I didn't make enough money at work to cover my rent, I had to mow lawns in order to make up the extra cash. I hated it at first, but it taught me the true value of a dollar and gave me a sense of true responsibility at a young age which allowed me to stay out of trouble (for the most part).

I think your just stepping on people who are unemployed and would die for a job like you got.

Just quit your job and become a forumposter.

The samething happened to me as well. When I was in high school and college I had loads of time to post on the forums. Now I work 50 hours a week (2 jobs) with only one day off a week. Also I spend most of my free time with my girlfriend.

I do miss the forums and I try to make some time to post here once in a while.

The good news is that I found a way to get online at my second job. They think they can block me from the internet. So while Im here I will be posting here more often while I'm at work.

I guess I'll just keep it to put on my resume, I can't really put BBT forum poster on my resume... unless I want to be an admin here!

Lol, yeah, and the pay surely sucks here.  It's good to have a sense of perspective.

At least you have a choice in your job. I was drafted into military conscription last year, paid USD$350 (equivalent) a month, getting shit from superiors who threaten me with jail time (detention barracks) for any fuck shit reason.

I miss the forums.  I want to post lots again.  I felt like this is somewhere were I was welcome and accepted.  Maybe I should quit my job?

Oh, you hate your job?  There's a club for that -- it's called everyone.  We meet at the bar.

Only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, though. We all have to put in overtime the rest of the week at the jobs we hate.

The patients always yell at me about their wait times when I have nothing to do with it.
