I got a New Job!

Daniel announces a nearby retail job after applications and interviews, starting next Monday; his last proper job was in 2017. He sees daily customer contact as social-skills training, deliberately confronting nervousness, shyness, and his comfort zone. He plans to work through year-end, saving for Japan, contributing to rent, bills, and food, while keeping YouTube for fun.

Conventional employment becomes a proposed antidote to boredom, depression, purposelessness, and dependence on volatile YouTube attention.
