Antiwork

Just quit the most fun job I ever had because I can’t survive on the wage they pay me.

$10/hr, 24 hrs per week at best is not enough to afford rent, medical bills, and gas. Even with food stamps, I'm struggling. The Michaels I work at (for the next two weeks, anyway) was the most accommodating job I ever had in terms of my disability and pretty much all of my coworkers were really chill. I get to work with arts and crafts supplies all day, I get an excuse to go outside and talk to people (as an extrovert with social anxiety, I need this), and I'm on my feet just enough to keep myself relatively healthy. I was sobbing by the time my boyfriend picked me up from work today because I genuinely would love to keep this job, if only they paid me a living wage.
