Random Work And Finding A Job

Post Reply New Topic

I have to get up early, which I hate, for my new job which I also hate so uh. Oh dear.

Hating jobs seems like the reason autists should commit to career goals instead of just jobs. Better control of outcomes.

Working in sales; I was always surprised at how gullible some salespeople really are

I think it is what makes them good at their jobs sometimes because they're just open to things and they believe in what they're doing

But I reckon that if a salesman coldcalled another salesman they could literally sell each other their products

Now that I'm retired, I can get up at 5AM to be the first one off the tee to play a round of golf at 7AM in the morning.

You are so lucky. I'll never get the luxury of retirement, as the a**hole government thinks it's a genius idea to raise the pension age right to mid-70s before I get there. Shame there are no protests on this, because I'd certainly join any activism to lower the retirement age. I want to afford to retire at no later than 65, so that I will still be young enough to do stuff. I am NOT working until I'm 75, I hate work now and am mentally ready to retire and I'm only 35.

I've been on my new job for 3 weeks. Seems ok so far, because there's a familiarity and predictability to things, as well as working independently a lot. I think I also like that I'm not constantly told what to do or about deadlines, but more they assume I read the information on the computer or emails and did it on my own.
The only problem is this is my first time doing a full time job, which is hard for me. The days are kind of flexible though, so if I want a change in schedule I can ask it ahead of time and usually I know what I'm doing at least a month in advance.
I think having a job is good, because I was spending too long unemployed and I just naturally want to remove all human contact from my life. And all part time jobs I tried before had been really bad experiences, where I was constantly overwhelmed and having bad anxiety until I stopped going without notice. I hope to eventually use this experience and money to focus on making art, that's what keeps me interested in having a job at all. I only think about how to keep making my work.
