I had a job washing dishes when I was fifteen and half the time washing pots and pans. One night I was hunched over washing the pots and pans for many hours and I just stopped caring it no longer bothered me. If I didn’t have sza I would have worked for a living and even if I was just a dishwasher I would have been better off. But the constant pot smoking really made me hate working in the end, the miles and miles of dishes stacked up needing washing. My low self esteem kept me from getting better jobs in the restaurants I worked in. I had never considered giving up drugs until I found God and two weeks later I was diagnosed. That’s why I say if it wasn’t drugs to make my sza come out it would have been fanaticism. It really really sucks being with this illness and having no work and all the time in the world. My body is so broken down now and overweight I’ll never do that kind of work again. If only people knew that free time is a curse they’d stop fantasizing about lying in bed all day even if they do have a sleep disorder. Where has all my bad feelings gone to that I’ve felt all these years. It worries me. A human being can endure so much!
Maybe you could lose weight and wash pots and pans again.
You can ask for help to do so.
I enjoyed some jobs I had.
I enjoyed washing pots and pans too and I got a kick as kitchen hand and waitress at lunch rush.
That was my favourite time as time flew.
The others hated lunch rush but I loved it.
I don’t plan on working ever again.
I want to lose weight too.
If you want to get back out there maybe you should.
When I was a kitchen hand,waitress dishwasher etc I never saw my boss as my superior.
I did what they said because they knew what needed to be done and if they ask me I can say yes or no and I said yes.
I stopped volunteering recently because a girl talked down at me disrespected me and that was not ok or acceptable in my opinion.
I’m thankful I’m on the pension because I could have ended up homeless or in lots of trouble for not wanting to obey as I believe i should never obey unless they suggest and I agree.
I’m not for hierarchy for me.
Leave me out of it.
Rest of society wants it but i don’t want to be put in my place which is not my place but what they think it should be by supressing me.
No no no not for me.
My favourite person loves hierarchy but I am fine with it for him and them but not for me .leave me out of that.
So you are a religious guy hey.
Well take care and if you want to wash pots and pans do so.
It can be fun.
I worked at a cafe once and the girl I worked with were a team none of us were boss we both were.
We supported each other and assisted each other and this flow happened and it was a touch perfect flow sometimes.
I can probably work with anc for less than 1% of people.ha ha ha without going mad anyway.
I really loved being a chef. Running the dish pit was what I did when I had to.
I never was worth a damn at fast food work and washing dishes. I would far rather haul hay, but they have switched from those 67 lb. bales to those giant 1,300 lb. bales, so stacking hay on the back of a truck and unloading it in a barn has become obsolete. I sometimes wonder if I could work as a night janitor, but my back hurts so bad when I try to do that kind of work. Right or wrong, it is more pain than I can handle. But I think I might have found an exercise that will take care of that pain.
It’s been 37 years since I had that job. I don’t think I can go back to it. It is impossible for me to lose the 150 lbs I’ve gained since. I tried to lose weight, my meds make it an impossibility. It was a job only the very young could do. My body is broken down and will never be that fit again. I also sweat so profusely it is a danger. And then there’s my mental state. I lose contact when I’m not self centered and I go out of your mind. But thanks for your comment.
I can’t seem to lose weight now either.
I’m not aaaas fat as I once was but still want to lose some.
Maybe there is some other activity you can do.
I have difficulties finding activity too.
I want to dance rock n roll lessons but can’t drive myself independently there.
Can’t afford to ride now my sacred neigh is retired.
Can’t get myself to paint or be creative or use intellectual thinking as I’m afraid of it a bit of being simple n not good.
Can you get into cooking?
You could cook for yourself and maybe volunteer cooking for another person you like too.
It’s a huge deal for me to cook a meal.
Anyway good wishes to you.
One can have quality life even as a overweight person.
I’ve worked in the restaurant business for many years.
Mainly as a waiter but I also washed dishes and worked in fast food restaurants like Burger King and Chuck E Cheese.
I’ve worked in a lot of restaurants and fast food joints as well. That and telemarketing were the only kinds of jobs I could get, back in the early 80’s, with my Spanish surname, before I got my degree.
I once had internship as waitress. I was really bad at it.
I always thought a late night stocker in a grocery store would be a good gig. Just listen to music and arrange products on a shelf.
