jobsworth

Just spent several hours searching job sites. Found maybe one or two I could potentially go for. It's so depressing being nearly 40 and unemployable. I know Alex is stressed about money and I want to help, but seems all I am good for is £240 a month in PIP money. 
There must be something I can do? 
Even looking at cleaning jobs, though I very much doubt I could still do it physically, and 90% of the now demand a driving licence. 
Is there really nothing? Am I that useless? 
I just want to help so that Alex doesn't have the full weight of being the sole earner on her shoulders. 
I want to ease that burden.
But I can't.

  1. It is never you that is the issue, this is just a 'fun' little evolution of eugenics, make it hard for the disabled to work and then blame it on their 'laziness' and they'll well...take care of themselves.

    It disgusts me the way the world treats mental and physical health and the way in which a price can be put on a human life and worth. They tell you there's options and freedom but there's just one path jazzed up to look like options.

    Good workers dream of labour and numb the pain of an evening or weekend of mind alteration to flee from the crushing prison that is the world we live in.

    Some days I feel like I would rather be fighting for my life alongside my community against nature herself than swallowing more pills to keep producing.

    If work brings up how important getting a sufficient amount of sleep is while simultaneously stealing every hour of my day I will loose my shit. I will not live to work and honestly I'm pissed off that you need to work to live
