    “An off-duty bartender…”

    WTH? Am I an “off-duty librarian”, and my friend an “off-duty software engineer”? We roll around in our off-duty van solving crimes in our off-duty times.

      If you’re a employee at a place, and are there when you aren’t working, it makes sense to identify you as an off duty employee of that place.

      She was off duty at the place she works. What’s so wrong about mentioning that?
      In short it wasn’t even her job to interfere, since she was off duty, she was just being a major asshole!

        I saw an article saying that early retirement’s a bad idea because “your career is the core of your identify” like MF no it ain’t I have a life (not that I could retire early anyway)
