My wife has left me. I spend my free time on Facebook. I am overweight. I am tired of being unhappy. I don't play video games very much. I used to be jobless. I work at a nursing home. I'm an assistant. I've worked at the nursing home for over ten years.
I don't have a job. I am job hunting. I used to work with animals but I hated it. I search for work every day. I play video games. I would love to make a living out of playing video games.
I folded my dad's clothes at the nursing home.  I bet he appreciates that! Do you work at the same nursing home he lives at? Yes. It's an okay job, but it lets me spend time with my dad. He doesn't need a lot of care, which is nice. He just needs some help with some physical stuff that I can't do all the time, since I have to work.  That makes sense, how nice that you get to see him so often. Does your mother live there too? No, she passed away a few years ago. It's just me and my dad, now. How about you? Are your parents still alive?  Yes, they are both still alive. I am actually staying with them while I search for a job. That sounds good. Saving money. I wish I could save money, but I have to pay support to my ex. I'm not sure why, since she was the one who left me, but it's the law, I guess. How is the job hunting going? Anything on the horizon? I am struggling to find something I will enjoy but I will likely need to accept a job soon so I can keep paying bills. I am sorry to hear that you are having to pay your ex, does that mean your divorce is final now? We're still working things out. We're using a mediator, since we don't want to pay lawyers fees, which are huge! Yeah, sometimes you just have to take what's available, job wise. What do you think would be a tolerable job?  I'd really love a job designing video games, that would be a dream job but if I could do something with marketing or content creation, I would be okay for now. Do you enjoy working at the nursing home? That sounds like a good plan. Just getting your foot in the door with a video game company might be a good start. Are there companies like that near where you live, or would you be willing to move? The nursing home job is good. I've been doing it for 10 years, so I've learned how to deal with the less than fun stuff! There are no companies like that around me so I would need to move or work remotely since it is all computer work.
