If you can not separate your job and your life you are the one with the problem.

I worked at Travelers Club. It was a job. I am not part of anything else that was there.

I worked at 5th Street Billiards. It was a job. I am not part of anything else that was there.

I worked at Plum Crazy Sports Bar. It was a job. I am not part of anything else that was there.

I work and do my job well. I do not want my work to be a part of my life. 

I used to hang out in bars. I was looking for a place to relax after work that had things to do. 

I do not go to bars to meet people. I just do not give a shit about that crap.

I went to bars for the activities, pinball, trivia, video games, pool, darts, etc. and to drink.

I do not drink anymore because I am diabetic. I can play video games on the Internet at home. 

Fuck bars. 

I do gig work now because I have to here in this fucked up shit hole that destroyed my life. 

It is a job. I am not part of anything else there and never will be.

End of story.
