A budget

So I thought I'd keep track of where my money's going...

Since one of the foremen has moved in with me I'm spending twice as much on beer as on food.... Is that healthy?

Drunks

Why is everyone at work an alcoholic? Why am I expected to spend every waking moment outside of work drunk? Why is it so hard to be different?

I've been doing ok living alone. It gives me some respite from the expectations of womanising and drinking. But now my boss wants to move one of the foremen in with me. I didn't think this would be too bad. Then he opened his mouth... (This is seriously the first thing he said to me)

"Have you been drinking much?"

"Not much this past month."

"We'll change that."

Great. Now I'm going to be living with a drunk.

Other conversations I've had in the past couple of days include one of my bosses telling me there's nothing wrong with sleeping with a prostitute...

Lord, is it meant to be this hard?

What is wrong with these people??? They're all such shallow, SHALLOW people!!! There's a lot more to life than money, sex and drinking. But not according to them.
