My neurological makeup made me a poor candidate for office work. I would become severely clinically depressed after a couple of weeks having to adhere to a schedule that necessitated being awake at 4:30 in the morning. The years that I worked in an office setting were among the worst in my life. I always did much better working evening or night shifts, which generally meant doing physically demanding jobs.
I muddled along but my introversion means it was never, ever comfortable.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, I did better with jobs where I could be a performer and crack jokes. I did pretty well as a bartender in a casino. Unfortunately, I got caught up in the social scene and had to take myself out of the atmosphere. If I had known then what I know now, I would have kept my business and personal life from blending.
