What's a good job for someone who likes MNing and drinking coffee?

I have been doing my present job for years as it has great hours for childcare, but I have never really got on well with it. It's a very practical job where you need to be quick, organised and quite good with numbers, none of which are my strong suits. Looking at other jobs for people with no experience or relevant qualifications I get the feeling there would be a similar practical side I might struggle with.

So I was thinking if I were to retrain what would I do? What is the ideal job for a keen MNer? Is there any way of monetizing my love of a good vipering on AIBU?

I do have a dog so something that allowed some working from home would be good, but I would also like to get out of the house and annoy/be annoyed by other humans sometimes.

Anyone have a good job here, what do you do?

If you could help me find a job that involves sitting down and playing computer games I'll be very grateful.
I'm also good at drinking tea and ignoring mess.

Psychotherapist? LOTS of YANBU, the occasional YABU lots of avoiding saying LTB. I tend to drink water rather than coffee, if that's a problem? The hours are good, though - works round child care.

cigars I am great at ignoring mess! Turns out this is a disadvantage in my current job but there must be a need for it somewhere.

@CigarsofthePharoahs
Sounds like we need to be working together! ;)

Some kind of night shift work in which you are required to remain awake in case of emergency (therefore both MNing and drinking coffee positively encouraged) but mostly not actually do anything... Ignoring mess would be an essential skill because tidying up during the night would disturb whatever sleeping people you were there for.

Hopefully some ultimately harmless nocturnal drama could be posted about with details changed to protect the protagonists and your job...

Switchboard at a store- I did it in holidays while I was at uni in the evenings and only got a couple of calls an hour .
