Poor 'Possum<p>Hey <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Boston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boston</span></a> folks, I desperately need a job. But also I can't keep getting jobs that hurt me. My time in food service is done (my skin can't handle the constant washing and chemical exposure). But the only suggestions people "doing better" than me suggest all seem... either disconnected from "real" work at best, or straight up parasitic at worst. </p><p>I'm good with my hands, I'm smart, I'm flexible and can (and my ADHD means I need to) move from desk to field or shop work easily. I'm computer-savvy for a hands-on worker, I can research, strategize, and apply physical solutions and create detailed and accurate logs. </p><p>I'd love to keep working with bikes, but all the big companies did a capitalism and are putting the screws to small local shops, so everyone is tightening their belts now...</p><p>But I can't sell myself, or afford/build a life around a car. Most trades require you to have a car, if not a truck. Most city jobs require you to have a CDL, which... come the fuck on. </p><p>I'm tired. I'm sapped. And I'm running out of money. </p><p>I could really use a hand.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antiwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antiwork</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IWW</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>help</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/job" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>job</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>burnout</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/biketoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biketoot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bikesatwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bikesatwork</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bikeshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bikeshop</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bikeIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bikeIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAid</span></a></p>
