I bartended on the side. I finally gave it up mid-covid because the extra money I was earning didn’t outweigh the exposure to sick people and people with deteriorating social skills.

The number of people who thought a server in the middle of a pandemic deserved less pay and more grief truly astounded me. Like bruh, I’m not here serving your drunk ass in the middle of covid for my enjoyment. Tip or I will prioritize every possible person at the bar before you.

I got into that latest bartending job because I had free time, I wanted a bit more money every month, and I’m decent at it from previous experience.

Nah, for stuff I plan to watch on my bedroom projector especially, I don’t bother with quality that will drive up the file size.

You answered your own question. Lots of the social aspect is on discord and you’re not willing to use discord. That’s it.

I took care of younger siblings, I got my taste of changing diapers, feeding, early years educating, schedule management, being “on” 24/7 for emergencies. No thank you. For me personally, being a mom with the typical gendered expectations would be a pile of hot trash with absolutely no upside.
