i work in customer service in a call center for a restaurant, i despise it since the first second i got hired till this very second. I have been working there for 2 years and 8 months. i hate my life :🙁:
Doing sweet fanny adams and on disability benefits right now. Very soul destroying sitting on your behind watching two screens and glaring out a window most of the day. The lyrics of the Green Day song 'Longview' sums it up nicely.
Although I find my job very hard sometimes, in terms of anxiety and anxiety attacks. I love how rewarding it can be. My confidence talking to different kinds of people can often be sky high. That's not what I've ever struggled with, but it's satisfying to know that I'm still pushing myself to work despite these problems.
I haven't worked in a few years now & although I apply at places every so often I haven't been trying as hard as I should to get a job. I stopped working to attend a program but when I left that I never found another job. It's a mix of depression & SA that brought me to this path, I sort of gave up & haven't really found to drive to get going again. I have however been working on my music in all this time so I may be able to reap benefits from that later down the line
No, and I don't plan to work until I'm about 19, either. It's sort of depressing, as about 70% of my old schoolmates have a job or two now, but I'm still in full-time education, as I've just left Sixth Form and I'm starting a course at College next month.
I'm not claiming any form of welfare/benefits, either, except for EMA money (£30 per week to attend all my classes lol). I live off my parents back, who both work themselves and pay taxes, so I have nothing to be ashamed of.
The closest I've had to a job is doing Work Experience, in Year 10 and then again in Year 12. I worked at a warehouse packing pallets for two weeks the first time, and worked in an office for one week the second time. I didn't get paid for either, sadly, despite the fact I was doing the same as what the paid employees were.
