What do you do for work?

[Tortured_empath]

And do you enjoy it?

 

[mathieu]

I am on disability. I used to wait tables when was about 21. I did enjoy it most of the time, although it could be stressfull.

 

[Dead beat dad]

And do you enjoy it?

Somewhat ironically I work as a health and safety advisor and I actually really like my job

 

[Soul]

Freelance translator and copy editor. I like it all right or a lot, depending on what the text is.

What about you, @Tortured_empath?

 

[not_a_robot]

These days? Let social workers' whose intellect is beneath me believe that they are successfully manipulating me, but they aren't.
And yes, I do consider it "work", allowing dumber people to treat me like I'm dumb and believe they can control me takes enormous effort on my part. It is a daily struggle.

Ah, sounds nice. I used to also enjoy writing and working with texts.

I used to study journalism before an accident. Since then I've been chipping away at some money i once inherited, but it dosen't last forever, sadly.

 

[Scribble Fan]

Suicidal NEET. I think they're called Hikikomori in Japan?

Disgrace aside, I remember wanting to be a composer when I was younger but mental illness did away with that. I've been trying to get back on track recently but you can probably guess my hurdles.

 

[LongTimeComing]

I was on my way to being a successful freelance makeup artist, but my mental health made me turn down a lot of offers. I went back to minimum wage entry level things, jumped around because I'd always quit. My last job was as an overnight baker and I loved it: No customer or coworker interaction, I was just alone in the store baking the goods for the day. Unfortunately, I quit before my attempt because I didn't want them to worry about me.

 

[Morphinekiss]

Not working now because of my health, but I taught high school and worked at a home for teenage girls that was basically a halfway house. I loved both jobs.

I do however find it ironic that I was mentoring drug using, suicidal teenagers when I'm the way I am

 

[Help_Me]

Everything was excellent (at work) until some moment happened 1 week ago. We moved to another office and it is complete garbage. Seems like I'll have to leave this place maybe next month and yea, I will become unemployed.. Like I always say, life situation is only getting worse everyday..

[Lush_nova]

used to be self employed ran a wrestling promotion (WWE style) worked with some smaller american names (sabu, kid kash, James storm etc) as well as local talent. but realised the industry is just full of back stabbing assholes so have left it behind for now.

 

[quiet35]

I am jobless for 7 years now. I would like to find a job, but I've severely damaged my body because of an eating disorder. So just unable to do any job aside from something like solving captchas.
I occasionally try to recover, to catch up on current knowledge in my profession (I have a master degree in programming), but cannot do it longer than a few months and then abandon because I cannot sustain complete lonelyness.

 

[WinterIsComing]

Do anyone knows how to work on the internet?... New concept in my country haha

 

[Lennox]

Currently I'm self employed. I repair electronics, tvs, computers, cellphones. I work on my own and alone. I'm my own boss which is great, I let myself take breaks whenever I want, which has happened a lot. I do enjoy the work though.

 

[xMacy]

I'm an auditor at a space and defense motions control engineering company. Was planning on getting my bs in mechanical engineering in the spring but...
And yes, I enjoy the work.

 

[kkatt]

Qualified Chef, Forklift truck driver, Mystery customer, Health and safety rep. Also former Customer service manager, Interpretor, Diamond cutter and various jobs within Adult entertainment.
Do some freelance writing and assist in research and fact checking, also some event promotion.
Income has almost always been supplemented by some involvement in illegal substances (best not elaborate here).
Considering return to full time education..... maybe Medical Chemistry.
So many different jobs because not a single one was something I could envisage doing for that long.

 

[sunny.sativa]

I'm a coffee barista at a local shop. Not Starbucks. Not anymore. That place made me hate my life.

My job is okay. I'm new. It's boring. Can't complain much.

 

[Swoods]

I work at a Circle K. I find the more I deal with the public the more I hate people.

 

[Life sucks]

Used to work and been rich but I quit because I wanted to ctb and have much mental and life problems. Also corporations are trash and I hate them. I don't miss the work but miss the money because it provides some distraction and cover needs. Now I'm on the way to poverty but I couldn't ctb so I'm trying to freelance to get some money. I hate corporations so I'll freelance and try to get money while I think about ctb. Its hard to both seek life and death but I managed to do it.

 

[a_strange_day]

I dont work. I quit my job 2 years ago, couldn't "connect" anymore, couldn't stand people and I was getting more and more hateful. It was just a question of time anyway.
so I took the money I was owned and now I'm spending it on a "leaving Las Vegas" style, except I dont drink and I dont live in LV

 

[TheDevilsAngel]

Unemployed
I stay home and cook and clean and care for my children i consider this my work... mentally i dont think i could get a proper job in the outside world

 

[Pupuce]

Coding Student. Coding is one of the two last thing is can do for more than 2 minutes at a time without getting bored.

 

[TheNorthernSilence]

I'm on disability. I get around 1400 euros a month so I'll manage (I pay rent).
I will never forget and forgive what the financial crisis of 2007-2008 did to my future (I have a bs in software engineering).

I did school for 11 years until I have figured out it doesn't serve me, once I hit the age of reasoning. At the same time I started thinking about suicide as a decent alternative, a viable option. The school was like a concentration camp for my mind. I didn't enjoyed it and I think I've earned my pension in a form of a lifelong full sustenance from my family, as a pardon for participating in a horror show, or mental torture show. Though a lot of people disagree with my self-proclaimed rights. They can live or burn.

You worked at a school or were a student for that long?

 

[262653]

Officially a student, but the things I have learned aren't worth the time and effort spent in that wretched piece of hell. I felt like a dog tied to a car that was charging at full speed... A dog tied to a car and dragged. There. Now you can google it and see. It's actually funnier from an observer's perspective than I thought it would be. Maybe that is why they were laughing...

 

[blanketyblk]

I work in a soul crushing, meaningless federal job... gah.. it's not what i started out doing. but ended up being shifted here after 10 years... money is too good to quit. but the job is just boring.
