I don't have a job. I had an accident 2,5 yrs ago and sustained neck injury. It took me quite some time to sort of recover from that - think I had head injury or at the very least a very serious concussion, as I hit my head really very hard, twice.
I'm fine now, but I can't do everything I could do before the accident. If I can sit up straight I have no problem whatsoever. So I can work on computers easy-peasy. But anything that requires looking down (like when you're reading a book) for more than 5 minutes, I can not do. Which includes entering data from forms, copying lots of paperwork (more than 5 mins), doing paperwork etc etc.

I got a work coach who's supposed to find me something I can do, but so far to no avail. I've tried several things, but almost every job requires something I can't physically do anymore, usually stupid little things.
It's mostly management jobs I can do, and I got the capacity to do that, but not the qualifications. And there's so few jobs around, I can simply forget about that. In this area it's mostly engineer work and cleaning holiday homes.

I don't mind to be honest, I needed the time to recover from that horrible accident, and I also needed time to find my feet after a real bad relationship.
Right now feel I'm ready to get going with my life again, so I'm working on what I want to do and can do. Probably a combination of a part-time job and what makes me really happy: workshops on personal & intuitive growth and development.
Would also help if I could sell paintings on a regular basis.

Carry on being strong, Crystal!
Sorry that you going thru' this hard time on the jobs! And suffering the pain. Hope the pain will eventually be gone or bearable, and that you can forget about it in due time.

Wish you success in finding something you would love to do in the long run..

Yes, I adore retirement...

You're not old enough to retire young lady, get back to work. :P

I love my job working at the nursing home. And I love taking my days off, too. The downtime makes the up time more productive. The job has helped me so much personally but I do love getting that paycheck. Getting that paycheck every two weeks isn't my preference; Weekly would be more to my liking. I used to think that the nursing home was just for the elderly but realize we have residents young enough to be my children. So when I am working with residents who are my children age I remind them to respect the elderly. LOL Of course, they tell me okay old man. LOL Or, yes, daddy. LOL And one of them even calls me grandpa. LOL

I am currently working as a substance abuse therapist. There are days I love my job and others not. I choose the change in position so I would be challenged and I definitely am.

I've had the pleasure of traveling with my job (did so for two years). Right now I make a good living in a state where the cost of living is not high. However, I can move around if I choose to and that makes me pretty happy. Yeah....I get bored easily in one place.

It's just a job. I don't love it or hate it. When it's over, I enjoy my time out of work and don't think about work until I go back to the office.
