Hey fedi  

Now that we've got a tiny amount of executive function back, we're resuming our search for another job. Our current one is causing us depression and anxiety, whilst exaccerbating our feelings of RSD and imposter syndrome ๐Ÿ˜ž

Due to needing to keep our work and non-work identities separate, we can't say whom we work for or in what specific capacity. However, we can say that our present role is within the non-profit sector and involves engagement with supporters and fundraisers.

We're in the difficult position of having soft skills, qualifications, and experience that do not match particularly well with most jobs, especially when our own needs (AuDHD; mental health struggles) are factored in  

We're looking for employment that:

  • Is actively neurodivergent (AuDHD) and mental-health accessible and friendly.
  • Is fully remote (with occasional exceptions for travelling to events).
  • Understands the importance of reasonable accommodations and work-life balance.

We've worked in the banking (urgh), financial services (urgh), education (meh), and non-profit sectors.

Jobs we genuinely cannot do (and cannot learn to do):

  • Anything IT related (except building a PC).
    • I.e., no coding, networking, programming, first line support etc.
  • Anything related to statistical analysis.
    • We didn't study maths beyond GCSE and could only manage an A back then.
  • Anything involving teaching or tutoring.
  • Anything requiring using a telephone (especially answering one).
  • Anything requiring sustained physical effort or focus.
  • Anything unethical.
  • Anything with long, early, late, or changing shifts.

It's not like we don't have skills and don't want to do anything: we just can no longer do something that we don't care about, where we can't do an excellent job, and where it doesn't lead to anything positive.

We don't expect to earn more than the real living wage, which is currently ยฃ12.60 p/h outside of London.

In an ideal world, our work would be what we actually choose to do in our own time: help other trans people with their transitions and to get started safely on HRT. But no-one's gonna hire us to do that ๐Ÿ˜ž

And no, before anyone suggests it, us starting up an OnlyFans or Fansly isn't an option for us, but we appreciate the thought.

@SleepyCatten Painful rubbish
@TripleB @DarkEden Hold it! Objection!

The computer crashed and I lost all twenty tabs I had up on my browser. Of those I hadn't bothered to bookmark I am trying to recall how many were necessary enough to find again. There was also a blog entry I started to type that was recovered.

"I suggested an idea to someone I would consider a friend. It wasnโ€™t well received. They weren't into anything at that moment in time. It frustrated me but like so many things these days I have no control over. Visiting friends."

I won't finish that stream of thought and will instead summarize with a photo.

When I visit a certain friend I take a picture of a bridge in town.

@BrielleLabingi Would it be any comfort to know that I do the same? I get extremely frustrated, becoming overwhelmed so that nothing gets done ... not that it was before. ๐Ÿ˜ฟ 
@SleepyCatten *stares* I put one suggestion in a previous reminder post ... ๐Ÿ˜ฟ ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@SleepyCatten Visiting friends. Have a great rest of your day. 
๐Ÿฅณ Happy Fediversary to The Novemberists, folks who quit Twitter and joined the Fediverse en masse in November 2022.
