i need to get a job...

Painting becomes his current project: two works sold for $250; he spends hours practicing faces, considers commissions, and may try acrylics. Immigration and Thai school are planned this week; his girlfriend is quitting work, while he considers extending the visa or eventually marrying. HMRC’s investigation leaves him fearing £6,000–£15,000-plus in tax and penalties; 112,000 subscribers yield only 39–75 viewers, while Diablo videos made about $250.

Novelty-seeking persists: painting feels like a mission, but he already predicts abandoning it as prior hobbies faded.
