(1:38) that’s so weird

(1:38) it’s my favourite club one of my bestfriends works there !!!

(1:39) they’re a bartender but the boss is chill so sometimes they’re allowed sit with us

(1:39) like last night they were talking to their girlfriend for at least 20 minutes at our table and the boss walked by and all

(1:42) i wish my boss was like that

(1:43) he hates me honestly

(1:45) how come? you seem lovely ;)

(1:45) besides the grumpy old man attitude

(1:49) i came in late once after my bestfriend got into an accident and i had to drive her to the hospital

(1:51) oh no was she okay??

(1:52) oh yeah it wasn’t too serious we just wanted to make sure she didn’t get injured

(1:52) but he’s hated me since

(1:52) it’s worse when you consider she also works here, he just really doesn’t care about us as anything over than employees yk?

(1:53) that’s so shitty :(

(1:54) i’m basically unemployed atm but i do art commissions and i’m learning how to tattoo

(1:55) that’s really cool i wish i was arty

(1:58) i really enjoy it !! it helps me calm down a lot

(1:59) the most creative thing i do is make embroidered bracelets because they help me calm down too

(2:01) wait that’s so cute can i see

(2:02) *image.jpeg*

(2:04) i like the one with the hearts

(2:10) yeah it’s a matching one with my bestfriend

(2:11) that’s so cute !!

(2:11) me and james have little tattoos of eachothers initials

(2:15) that’s sweet

(2:15) i’ve gotta get back to work my boss just walked in
