Antiwork

So I have some disabilities nothing too major but it means that finding a job is really hard for me because I need one that not only will accept a person like me but it Has to be a place that I can work well in I get overstimulated very easily so most fast food or grocery store positions wouldn’t be good for me but I also get depressed i’m left to my own devices for too long i’m currently in a position in which I’m surviving without a job my partner makes enough for the both of us to get by but for some odd reason I feel like a leech on the relationship because I’m not currently working my partner is perfectly happy with the fact that I’m not working he doesn’t need me to be but for some odd reason I can’t shake the feeling that I…

My girlfriend works as a pharmacy technician at a major American pharmacy chain, CVS. She started at $14 an hour, and was told she would get a raise to $16 once she completed her training. She has been working there for over a year, now, and finished up her all of her training months ago.
