I got a job for the first time in my entire adult life (I'm 30 years old). The job is I have to pick up garbage for two hours, three days per week. I get to use a grabber and wear gloves so I don't have to bend over or touch garbage. I get paid in cash so it won't interfere with my SSI benefits. I used to never be interested in getting a job but now I'm motivated to get that electronic drum set.

Way to go!! !
Hope you find a fun and meaningful way to celebrate!

You will find having a job is an addictive thing. It is easier emotionally to work for a place where people are friendly and understand you, than it is is to claim benefits.

Maybe you should speak for yourself.
