While I admit I had a bit of a drinking problem in the past, I have at the very least cut back. However, after moving heavy rocks and dumping them into a truck all day long makes me sore and tired. But hey, I pretty much am only 50% experienced in website development. I have the intellectual capacity to program, but I would rather do manual labour now rather than improve my coding ability. It's good for the body anyway.
While being slightly socially quirky is good in the sense of understanding computers, I got this new job right by crack park in my North American city. A crackhead, while acting completely normally (probably not high) came in, put a hard hat on, and asked for my coworkers bag containing his wallet with credit cards, $200CAD cash, and a one-of-a-kind sweater worth $600. Thinking he was a superior to my work (I don't know the faces at the site it's only my second day on the job).
On my break, I ran to my bank and took out the remaining of my disability cheque and gave it to my coworker.. He was very appreciative of the money, and I think I might have made a new friend.
I don't know if I get sucked into scams, sometimes working my ass off spending the day staring at a computer screen making my brain hurt coding (while smoking some weed to keep me alive), being expected to pay hosting fees for a site that is being accused of being a scam site. (I know I might have fucked on Cryptoflip. I didn't know about PHPUnit, and I even asked the partner/client to get a real hacker better thasn me to test it. I got scammed by some Argentine guy pretending to be Canadian and he didn't send me Bitcoin. I just can't win working, Bitcoin or manual labour.
So here's my question, would you rather play with power tools, dig ditches, and do hard work all day,. but considering the amount of scams on this forum, it really is hard to win. I go to a temp;. labour agency, and I get sent out to a worksite surrounded by people who will do anything to get their fix, weather it be crack or whatever the fuck they are doing. I keep thinking I have the upper-hand with a junkie since I don't think any of the scammers on this forum are addicted tgo those kinds of drugs/ Am I wrong? Is it possible for a crackhead to use Bitcoin?
I am sorry to say if you are a drug addict and you use weed while using a computer it is your own mistake, how could someone make a smart decision while he is high??? I don't think it will work. The computer work needs you to be smart enough and if you don't act upon you can never be successful with such habits.
