Don't kid yourself: You're a copy editor.

You will grow older and more bitter. You'll die alone.

And there will be two style errors and a typo in your obit because you were no longer manning your post.

That was hilarious.

If you are staying up till 5 a.m. when you come home and sleeping till 2 p.m. then eating cereal and going to work, you aren't going to have much of a life.

And just what in the hell is wrong with that?

You gotta vary your diet.

Take me for example. Usually I eat cinnamon toast crunch. Today I changed it up a bit and had pop tats.

If you're working a typical desk shift, you've got a lot of time during the day to get involved.

You mentioned a guitar, go to a retirement home and play for them. Or offer to teach lessons. Find a charity you can really support and go volunteer one day per week before your shift.

Get involved and expand your circle of friends/acquaintances. Eventually, that'll lead you to somebody.

Exactly, you're a desker. You have the most stable sked of all. Just be glad you don't have to work janked up hours like a 7-noon, 6-11 train wreck everyday.
I feel you though, but you just have to grit through it and keep reminding yourself that this job is SO much better than sitting in some lame ass cubicle crunching numbers all day while 14 bosses come by and spill coffee on you.
Power on my friend.

That is, unless you have bad sex. Then you get angry. But it's OK to be angry, because you've wasted your time. Maybe even more than you're wasting your time now.

Sorry, I just couldn't help it. I've been holding out for too long.

There's bad sex?

I believe this quote was attributed to Joe Torre many years ago: "Sex is like pizza. When it's good, it's good. [/] When it's bad ... it's still pretty good."

When you find out, Jake, let me know. I've given up.

Go to Bloomingdale's on Christmas Eve and try to buy a pair of gloves. Worked for Jon Cusack.

Fine work. My shells and cheese nearly made it onto my screen... luckily I wolfed them down by then.
