Forums General Chit-Chat What the heck am I supposed to do all day?!

So, until recently, I've been employed as a manager, sometimes pulling over 8 hours a day with no weekends. My daily routine was usually wake up, go as hard as I can, eat, crash, repeat.
Now, due to the fact that literally everyone I've ever worked for wronged me in some way
(job 1:I was threatened with being fired and then stalked at home for defending an employees state rights. job 2: Got promised, trained for and worked as the manager of a department for a full month before they put someone else in charge claiming they "had no idea I even wanted the job, you must have forgotten to apply" job 3: got pulled into the office daily for some ripe new BS after making it known I wanted to be in management again, when I asked what I was doing wrong and why people who were late and people who quit got hired into management when I was doing all their jobs and kept getting moved from department to department... I got told it was because of my cleavage. I told them I thought my cleavage was fine since I worked in a back room with no ventilation surrounded by women. I was then told I looked like I was selling it. Yep, my boss called me a prostitute.)
I have had to take a part-time job in the evening as a housekeeper. yay. But like... I have ALL THIS FREE TIME NOW.
I mean, I have no problem filling the day with art and movies, but I'm getting very sick of being in my house all day. I need an outside activity! Now... due to my narcolepsy I pretty much travel by foot, so "going for a walk" seems less like an fun activity and more like something I just have to do to get to that fun activity. What do people even do during the day!? I like... want to be social but in a non-committal way. I want to do... things... but I hate sports. All my usual going out activities are night-time based and usually cost money which I do not have. Am I too picky to have fun?

Maybe try crafting? It can be social if you join clubs etc.

Your previous managers sound so dodgy :o surely that last one is grounds for sexual harassment?

Yep, I'd say so. Ooh, I forgot to mention the actual last one who let me only have one delivery driver half the time during the busiest holiday, wouldn't let me call anyone to repair our chocolate freezer (we ONLY sold chocolate covered fruit, it was kind of important.) and then called me after I had somehow pulled it off after 3 sixteen-hour days in a row on the first day off I was allowed to give myself in two weeks to say "the owners don't think you can handle the job". She demoted me, cut my pay, then tried to send me to a store she knew I could not get to because of my disability. When I told her I couldn't make it to the location she took it as me quitting without notice. lololo.... I'm so over being in management. If thats how it makes you treat people I'm so ok with cleaning toilets for a living.
I suppose crafting could be fun. I could go find some edgy granny knitting circle and we could make blankets for all my metal head friends <3

@Totalanimefan: I should totally find a group of people who like to read about gore, chaos and communism. WHERE YOU AT PEEPS?

@Milkii: I dig MMO's but the general public is a pain to play with. Maybe I need to join about 10 more dungeons and dragons groups.

@Totalanimefan: Perhaps there are some lonely losers needing to fill their days like me. Imma have to go to a game store and MEET ACTUAL HUMANS. This sounds fun.

@Totalanimefan: I just worry, because I already have an amazing DM on saturday nights... what if anyone else I find is complete rubbish?
Man, I started to design my own world to RP in SO MANY TIMES and failed to follow through...

@Totalanimefan: I mean, I suppose I could play a non D&D game. I like card games and anything that involves creativity. I could probably even like... start my own group to do a thing. I am a natural leader, and I'd be able to be selective in the crazy I surround myself with XD

Try your hand at different types of crafting, sculpting, etc until you find something you enjoy. I guarantee there's a group of people even if on the internet who love it as much as you do and they can make some great friends!

@artits: I can make ALL THE THINGS. Or... I used to be able to. I was very crafty as a teen and sort of stopped once I had to learn how to pay bills and whatnot. I feel so much older than I am :D

You former workplace sounds like a shithole. If you have Steam or Xbox and we own the same games, we can play together.

@Totalanimefan: My eating habits have always been nothing but coffee/water until about 2:00 where I EAT AS MUCH DINNER AS POSSIBLE.... but I found out I'm anemic and pre-diabetic so I have to like... learn how to eat the normal way. Its hard to remember. I have to set a timer and just eat a small thing every three hours or so because I just do not have an appetite.

@nyreen: They were all holes of varying degrees. Thats why I'm so happy I work here now <3 Everyone is pleasant and mature its such a change of pace. I don't care if I have to clean toilets for a living to make this dream job continue. Also I totally have steam, and last I checked over 130 games, so chances are good we have something in common.

@Glume: Your post about joining a knitting circle for metal bands reminds me of this story I read. Its a long one but its really sweet. Not sure if you have read it before.
