I've been working the night shift since January. It's fine, I adjusted to it easier than I expected. It's also great because 90% of my job is to sit at my computer and not fall asleep. This is probably the closest I'm ever going to get to being paid a living wage to write.

But there's one problem I haven't been able to find an answer to: what do I do on my days(nights) off? I can't go out and do stuff because everything except Whataburger is closed (and Whataburger's parties suck). What I can do at home is limited too because I live on the second floor of a crappy apartment, and I'll absolutely keep my neighbors up all night if I move around too much. This has led four months straight of doing nothing but watching movies and playing video games on my days off. It was fun for a while, but it's finally starting to get old.

I command you to tell me how to spend my days off of work.

Go camping at parks near you where it is free to do so. Bring a hammock or some couch cushions as a bed. It's nice. Have a fire.

Get a pet
Get a friend that works thirds
talk to the people at the gas station
Sit on a street corner at night and see who stops
Cold call people from the phone book and see if anyone can guess who you are.

Read my books, start a fan club of me, and later on subscribe to my tier 3 OnlyFans.

Unless you're in the middle of barsville USA, the middle of the night is about the safest time for going out, so you can always take to walking about. Just be careful crossing the street.

Going insane is always an option.
