Kind of piggybacking off the thread about whether or not employment would change your attitude about ctb, I'm curious about the kinds of work everyone does. How do you feel about it?

I'm currently unemployed and have been pre-covid due to the severity of my episodes but my last job was working for a major hospital system, scheduling in different departments and working with HR. I have no idea what I'm going to next lol.

I have to say (not just this post, in the past as well) I'm surprised of most people's jobs. I did expect "shit" jobs for the most part.

I've also heard about how tough the job is. I tip my hat to you for doing it at all. I'd much rather work with computers as well, and it's mostly all I do. That and I'm basically paid to sit around and post here.

Hotel Management and graphic artist are part of your job or are they separate jobs ?

I work in an ER. I basically sit in the room with psychiatric patients to make sure they stay safe. I usually sit with suicidal patients. Obviously I don't let on that I'm also suicidal, lmao. It's nice to be able to sort of help by listening and chatting with them.

It's not a bad job, all things considering. It would be nice to be paid more than $1 above minimum wage though. But people have told me I basically deserve the meager wage because I "don't really do anything." Mmm. I guess they're right.

I too, am currently unemployed and have been since end of 2019 (partly due to a living arrangement change as well as my job being a temporary one). I don't really care about being gainfully employed currently and just going through the motions in life. I still maintain appearance as to not tip off or set any red flags off for my (eventual) exit either late this year or future.

Jeez.How many hours do you work ? I am a programmer too btw :).
8 or 9 on my day job then it really depends for my programming work. I can set my own schedule for that so sometimes it's alot and sometimes I take a break. Take into consideration I sleep about 3 or 4 hrs on average and I have plenty of time.
