i work two days a week. i’m pushing what i’m capable of, but it is good for me, i think. socializing, pushing my body for the health benefits. the money is nice. eventually i wanna cut down to one day a week, but for now i’m content with pushing my boundaries.
how do you feel about working?
Just about going to.
yeah with the right job. but i have to go to school first to get a job in landscape nursery or golf course or city parks department to advance my career… but most jobs i just do if i have to and hate them, and don’t enjoy life as much when im working. it’s a bit of both, it’s nice when a person finds a good job for themselves that they kinda enjoy. if i had a lot of money i would still work part time just because i already have too much free time and get bored.
If you enjoy the job. It’s fine. If you don’t, it can get stressful.
Maybe some day. It’s about the right timing. Right now, no. I stay home and avoid the stress.
What do you do if you don’t mind me asking sounds ideal.
I work hour-2 hours per day
ive been lucky enough to get jobs i can keep my head down and socialize little, but even then i lose it about 6 months in. i never got to decide how many days i could work, and i feel like that would have helped instead of working up to 6 days weekly. now with self employment, i just work when i can or feel like i can manage it. i wouldnt go back to the workforce, i cant handle it without a good or accommodating environment. i dont like pushing my boundaries because it makes my stability spiral.
Kind of forced to until I win the lottery. I suppose it would help if I bought a ticket, but still.
My plan is to start working when the lockdown is over, apparently that is predicted to be March, here
i was thinking of getting a city parks job. building cleaning. The pace in city jobs is a lot slower and more regulation based versus working for a private company that is profits focused.
im going back to work in the property maintenance industry. Either doing the work as a supervisor of crew. or I might try my hand at operations management first. I have the opportunity so I may as well give it a shot, but I think it might be a pretty stressful position.
working on a crew is pretty relaxed, get to listen to music with headphones on and stuff.
Money…

I liked working as a translator. But it tends to be boring.
I had several high paying jobs (trainee associate at PriceWaterhouse Coopers) but I could not survive more than two weeks - severe negatives and trouble with motivations
I’m a lot better with negatives now, so I’m looking to re-enter the job market. Have applied for a few jobs and waiting to hear back from them
i don’t work anymore… it was not good for me, the stress made me relapse… pdoc and work doc said i shouldn’t work anymore, so i’m on disability now.
I work 1 day a week. I’ve felt more confident and happier since starting work a year ago.
But, this week I have had to work 3 days so far and it’s been tougher
I think if I could work very part time I might enjoy it. I haven’t worked in 9 years, but a couple months ago I sort of did when my grandma has surgery and I had to go over there every day to help her. It was really tough. I had a lot of symptoms. I think if it went on any longer than it did I might have had to up my meds.
I worked up until I quit to become a parent. I think it was very good for me. I miss it, but now I’m in school again working towards my PhD so I still feel accomplished.
I need to work as I don’t have very many hobbies but had to quit my last one
I’m not sure I can work. I have problems being around other people. I haven’t worked since 2007.
