Last friday I spent the evening with wonderful people who made me feel valued and accepted for who I am and it was fun and friendly for everyone involved.
Tonight I was dragged (and forced to drive for three other people) to an awkward after-hours work-thing dinner and they all kept bugging me and mocking me because I don't drink alcohol and don't do drugs and don't smoke cigars (???) and trying to make me conform.
Yea thanks I didn't need to feel good anyway
edit: To clarify, most of the people from Friday were drinking and talking about alcohol they like and stuff and it was not a problem. They know I don't drink and not once in the 4+ years I've known them have they given me the slightest bit of shit for it nor have they tried to square-shame me into joining them.
I used to have "friends" like that. I told them over and over that I didn't mind that they drink and smoke weed, but that I want nothing to do with it. Yet, every time I went to hang out with them they would try to pressure me into trying it and once locked me in a car with them while they hotboxxed it with weed smoke. I stopped hanging out with them after that.
Things that piss me off: I've applied to every sort of help desk related job I can find in my state on the internet and haven't gotten so much as an email back from any of them. I feel like applying through public websites is a waste of time and I'm going to start just cold emailing local companies and asking if they have any positions open. Job searching sucks.
