I mean, I would do some things without money, and I could still get money for them.

But I don't have motivation atm.

[Brisky]

170,463

Yeah, I do too. But, if I do I really don't want there to be obligations.

I hate obligations...

[HellEye]

170,464

Yeah same here.
But sometimes it's not that terrible

[Brisky]

A couple of voluntary things I have seriously considered doing are working in the local national park, and for the KNMR (royal maritime rescue organisation), because I get in the forest a lot and love being there, and the KNRM because it's just epic, and it doesn't take up too much time.

Only for the former I fear I don't have time, and for the latter not an adequate vehicle as you need to get to the launch site within like 10 minutes or something.

National park seems pretty fun. Other one too. What would you be doing there?

The National Park would be gardening and forestry type stuff, as it's way too small and dense (classic Netherlands, space is always at a premium), and has to be maintained.

At the KNRM I would actually be trained to go on the boats and help out with rescue missions. But as someone with a technical background and education I could help (or even be employed for) with maintainance of the boats.

So, eventually I'd end up carrying a pager, and any employers or family would know I could get called in at any given moment to go on a boat and potentially do some live-saving work out on the sea, in an epic oversized high-tech speedboat.
(But lots of times it's just sports sailors soiling their pants because their engine won't start anymore)

The dad's in huge favor of the KNRM because he knows people that work there and that it's an amazing community that's also surprisingly influential, meaning that they could help me with stuff (like finding a job) just as much as I'd help them.

Yeah, the other one seems really great. As long as you could respond to a call quickly enough. But it's a really nice job, saving people and all

[Brisky]

Although the "at any time" part does has a huge impact on your personal life, and stuff...

[HellEye]

170,470

I guess no more serious gaming or parties or stuff like that

[Brisky]

170,471

Sadly, no.

Or atleast, not often. Ofcourse you can get holidays and stuff

[HellEye]

170,462

Well yeah.
And I guess being on call also means you can do hanging out/gaming, just with the possibility of interruption.

[Brisky]

170,463

Yeah.

Although, it is purely volunteer work, so I would still have to have a regulair job.

[HellEye]

170,474

Ooh. Well that's less great. Even though it seems nice.

[Brisky]

I think you can get employed as the boat's commander, but then ofcourse you'd have to be licenced to operate big powerful boat's.

As a sparkie, I could probably get employed doing maintenance on electrical stuff on the boats.

But for tonight, it's back to delivering noxious pancakes

[HellEye]

Well
Money is money.
And you get to vroom around.
