              I don’t mean this in a demeaning way, but isn’t that just an escort + prostitution?

              You’re getting paid for company is one, getting paid for sex is two.

                  What you listed is what escorts do, minus the sex. Hence why I combined the two professions.

                  Do you have a partner? If so, how does your work influence your private life?

              Fascinating. Is there a large age gap? My daughter thought about pursuing this with a guy a couple years ago, but she wanted to get out of sex work so that was a no-go.

              Do you enjoy the work, and is it considered “work” on both sides, as in no expectation of romantic intimacy?

                  That’s a great way to look at it. Are there any provisions for severance if there comes a time where that arrangement needs to be terminated?

                  I also want you to know that in no way am I judging what you do for work, to me it’s just work, but I know a lot of people would have different opinions.

    Does it count if it’s a hope and not a fact? If so, then I’ll be looking forward to changing jobs. If I’m changing to another customer service job then I want something less fast paced, hopefully selling something I actually care about. But, ideally I’d love to get a job in the vfx industry again. I’ve been looking for years.

    If it’s a fact only, well, my birthday I guess? Which I’m also simultaneously not looking forward to.

    personally, I’ll restarting myself to focus into more serious programming and get a job

    I still fresh graduated, but I feel I still lack from programming basics to advance me to get a job in technology sector. second, for some reasons, I considering to move to somewhere first, and working on there.

    hopefully, everything will be done in next 6 months, insha Allah

    I’m going to get my commercial drone license and start doing freelance work to supplement my main job that doesn’t pay too well. Very excited.

    I’m hoping to move back to the town where my friends and family live. I’ve been in my current place for a few years, and it’s fine, but I feel like my life is on hold.

    I’m kind of looking forward to my kids getting a little more mature. Parenting lil kids is not what I’m cut out for. But it’s bittersweet - that gets them closer to moving out and starting their lives without me.

      Feeling like your life is on hold is such an interesting and familiar feeling. Years can go by this way. Good luck! I hope it happens soon.

    Well since I just discovered a close friend In a couple of weeks is already going out with the girl I liked for 2 years …( Yes he knew) and since I have so much time to my disposal while watching an empty residential pool at the young age of 23, I’m planning to feel like shit for the next 6 months :)

      That sucks about your friend. Did you ever ask that girl out on a date or anything? Two years is a long time, I hope you had made a move at some point.

    I’m just hoping to get through the next 6 months, and then the next 3 years, without the government harassing me or my family.

    Quitting my job for the end the year, a job that is making depressed and tired.

    Opening my own business with blackjack and hookers (for real tho, opening a shop in my city).
