It's not Creon's fault that you are poor with a wife and a baby to take 
care of with no income to pay the rent. You're already thirty-something 
with no prospects of future employment after being unemployed for over 
three years. How's that going to look on your  on your resume?

You did that to yourself Nick. Admit it. Be honest. We're all living the 
easy life and you're still short, fat, and texting on social media.

Why don't you just wise up and get to work? Apparently, they are hiring 
at the Sweet Spot Dispensary. YMMV.
