Yeah, that’s what I mean. I wasn’t aware of a user’s gender. my mistake. and you make a joke out of it.
Whatever. Its not my fault you have no sense of humor, whatsoever.
You completely misinterpreted it as an attack.
Come on guys were trying to talk about not working ever again here.

Well, what else would I think. You’re a moderator. Already shutdown a few threads I was posting in.
Agreed.

I shut down threads you were posting in that were political. And I do not have to put up with you questioning my calls in this regard on the public forum. Its specifically in the rules.
Lets return to the original topic now.
If you have a problem with a moderators calls, you are free to pm us and we can discuss there.

My job provides for me and it keeps my mind busy. And I don’t have to deal with people face to face, except on rare occasions.
However, helping build someone else’s dream and glory, being somewhat of a foot soldier, is slowly crushing my soul. And other job specifics such as sitting still for hours, gazing into the abyss of a computer screen, redoing today what was supposedly done and dusted yesterday etc… not the nicest of experiences.

You can always say “mind your own business.”
Works for me.

If I could just find some routine physical work that I don’t have to think about I would be perfectly willing to do that, except that my back hurts me too bad when I do work like that. It’s odd. I can bend over and pick up a microwave with no trouble, but doing things with my hands hurts too bad. I used to help clean the dining room, and I could sweep the floor one time, and that was about my limit. I think I might have found an exercise that loosens up my hips and back, though.

I work at about a third capacity (30-40%). It really helps me to get out of the house, do activity at work and meet people, and I’m dependant on the income, I don’t have full disability.
But sure, if work is deteriorating you and you don’t see a upside, maybe you shouldn’t work.

@anon15119022, I used to tell people I was on sabbatical when I was unemployed. It was technically true and they stopped bothering me.

The thing too also is that you have a disability. Being sick can be a full time job trying to patiently endure the pain of your illness. Society is built so that if any of us is seriously ill they don’t have to work necessarily. We take care of our injured soldiers. It’s good to never take advantage of that but if you genuinely cannot work don’t feel bad. It could have been any one of us. We all get sick at some point in life.
The idea is for everyone to do what they can and give it their all…

I don’t find it too stressful, I’m just tired, no energy.

If a woman asks me what I do for a living I answer nothing and ponder over the condition of our society and the dating market where the average man basically has a job interview for the role of boyfriend and 2/3 of young men are single when compared to only 1/3 of young women, wonder whatever happened to two hearts and a shack and lose interest in the woman just as quickly as she loses interest in me.

I haven’t worked in years. Currently it’s still too demanding for me.
I did volunteer twice for about half a year.
Now planning to study and work towards self-employment.

Honestly, I wish I didn’t have to work
I’m a little on the paranoid side because I have been so extremely tired lately and I’m not sure if I can do it…
Blehhhh

I don’t work because I can’t survive on minimum wage. I’d rather stay on SSI even though that means I have to live in poverty.
