Pre-Covid my primary work was logistics coordinator for an events company (fancy job title, just means I set up beer festivals, music festivals, etc.) which I supplement by picking up freelance chef work between events as they're sometimes 5-6 weeks apart. (I'm good and reputable enough that it's actually quite dependable) This week I picked up my first pay slip since March, helping a friend get his gastropub in order, bought a bottle of rum and I've drank about half of it already to celebrate.
I also do roadie work for a few venues in my city. I'm a busy boy at times, the GF is a lawyer and makes really good money TBH, but I can still try to tease her by telling her that I actually make more per hour than her.

LoooooooooooooL. She's actually dropped a couple of hints in the last couple of years that are connected to my work, 'cos I get free entry to events I set up she's been to a quite a few and once or twice she's 'joked' that I should be a wedding planner. I have actually been considering over the last week or two whether I should pop the question or not. I mean, we've been stuck in the same house since March and we can still stand each other.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
