I can't just be content

I have to be progressing

<:VeRiFiEd:463064374236413962>

I prefer not being content. I always need to look up

And go up

And up

Because I'm disabled, I only had two jobs ever. Those jobs were like extremely taxing till I got my SSI.

I would come how and fall over from the pain.

Until I am either dead or on top

Due to my injuries and disability.

I was working myself to death.

can't you get tech certifications and work remotely @Dusty Morgan

Or like

Playtesting videogames

Online work

Hmm.... in all honesty, I just focused on paying the bills and making sure we had a roof over our head.

I didn't have time to just pick and choose.

I mean office jobs are everywhere

and tech is HUGE

Office workers need to talk

Now my SSI is up and running, I don't have to worry about money much either. Plus inheritance.

I can actually focus on my life now.

My OWN life.

you can function in an office setting without verbal communication @Rouqen

I also am probably getting a hobby

Once money starts flowing

there are positions that you can be in where you never have to do anything outside of emails and IM

I am hard of hearing and tone deaf. With my injury, I can't stand or sit for more than two hours without a full blown migraine that makes me throw up.

you can get mobile desks

I am forced to take breaks every two hours.

like ones that move up and down if you want to sit or stand

It is extremely debilitating to be honest

What can you do about your injury

Every manager or boss I had said I am a major liability, but that just pushed me harder to prove them wrong.

Like

Sadly they were right.

we had a guy in my old job with an injury just like yours @Dusty Morgan and he had one of those desks

Not much... my injury is located near a lot of important nerves.

heal it?

One wrong move during operation and I could end up paralyzed.

what about working from home?
