Good evening and welcome to the weekly thread comrades. How was your week? How is everyone doing?
Bad. I’ve been looking for a job and it’s stressing me out. Whenever I come across a job that seems good I immediately start imagining all the ways I could make mistakes I could make at that job and start feeling worthless. And I have a couple misdemeanors on my record from a few years ago and it feels like I’ll never be able to find a good job because of it. I was working at a restaurant before covid but I feel like that’s not really an option anymore. I have a Bachelor’s Degree but it feels like any benefits that gives me is cancelled out by my record. I’ve found a could jobs that I really wanted, but I would have had to provide a detailed account of why I was arrested, which police department, which court and judge sentenced me, and what charges I was convicted of. Since the charges I was convicted of are less severe than the ones I was arrested for I really don’t want to do that.
Everything just kind of sucks.
