I feel kind of bad about complaining about this but here goes...
My duties at work have increased exponentially and as such has resulted in paychecks amounts I haven't seen since early 2009 when I was a forklift driver. Now obviously this isn't the bitching part, but I suddenly find myself very friendless as people move away or stop talking to me. It looks like for the third weekend in a row I'll be staying home watching movies on Netflix and reading comic books. Now it's not a bad way to spend a weekend, but I just find it horribly funny how that now I finally have the money to go out and enjoy myself, I suddenly have nobody to enjoy myself with. The obvious solution is to make new friends, but I'm not particularly good at that. I do such a good job at insulating myself that many people find my demeanor too intimidating to approach. Occasionally if the stars align right I can shake it off and be Prince Charming, but those nights have been rare as of late.
