I want to live in a house that doesn't have any cracks in the walls or flaking plaster or tiles falling off the bathroom wall.
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I wasn't constantly surrounded by bong smoke, maxibon wrappers, and dozens of electronic devices that have been gutted to make even weirder electronic devices.

I am not making as much money as I like to so I am thinking of getting a second job! I basically have two options:
1) go to work at another pub owned by the same mob I already work for, for 1-2 days a week,
2) ask to be put exclusively on weekend night-shifts and find a tedious 9-5 schtick, preferably one behind a desk where I can wear nice things to work.
Option 1 has the advantage that there'd be no tax increase on my second income, since I'd be working for the same company. Also I genuinely enjoy bartending! However I am starting to think I spend way too much time in pubs because when I go out for a quiet relaxing drink I am always watching security, looking at camera vantage points, and basically thinking to myself "this place is run like a fucking abandoned caryard!" so it would be nice to get a job I don't even enjoy or give a fuck about to earn some cash, because I have always wanted to quit a job really spectacularly.
The only problem with option 2 is I have no idea what I am qualified to do. I am looking for career advice!
My skills that are not directly related to booze are
- Money handling/counting
- defusing volatile situations
- a deep seated knowledge that if I don't do the shitty jobs around a place, they'll probably never get done
- I am so much of a fucking people person you wouldn't believe
- stocktaking/inventory/taking and placing orders for deliveries
- general supervisory tasks, whip cracking
- fucking handy with power tools and general building shit
- as a massive nerd, computer skills go without saying but to be more specific I know my way around a spreadsheet, database, or any of the other shit you need to run a small business, can't do IT support for shit though
-probably some other shit
Looking at this I could probably do pretty well for myself working for a large department store, but it would have to be a nice place because I already have to deal with idiot redneck customers in my current job (A rum and coke is called a rum and coke asshole, not a rum)
So if anyone has any suggestions for jobs I might be good at, holler at me. The problem is that if you look at my previous work experience on my resume it reads "Labourer 2002-2003. Factory Hand 2003-2006. Bartender 2006-present" and that doesn't really take into account that I was the de facto floor manager of the factory for six months after the old one quit, and that a dude working days in a pub accumulates useful employment skills at an alarming rate.
