Unemployment. I hate looking for jobs

I worked in:
Security
Retail
Uni Research
Private energy sector

I've never ever worked as hard physically, psychologically and spiritually as when I worked in Retail.
I'm sure there's lots of worse jobs but everything else on that list was an up

I've always hated retail jobs. Probably the one I minded the least was working at a liquor store, but I was a stockboy instead of a cashier and my girlfriend at the time was a coworker. The job I hated the most was working as a cashier at Chipotle, which I took as a second job to pay for my wedding. My favorite part of the night was, no joke, cleaning the restrooms because I wouldn't have to deal with customers. Also helped that my research was on fecal bacteria, so cleaning physics defying diarrhea splatter wasn't pleasant, but also not something that I couldn't handle. My roommate was my manager and would give me a lift home (how I got the job) but we weren't always on at the same time and often enough I missed the last bus of the night that would take me from the subway to my neighborhood and I would have to walk 8 kilometers with a stretch through some woods that might or might not have coyotes. Also was going through climate grief at the time, so I was pretty depressed about having to spend the beginning of the end of the world helping capitalists sell burritos to MIT students who would end up making more money than me working in tech

Conversely, teaching microbiology labs has hands down been the only job that I've actually enjoyed and took pride in. Grading sucks and is the most tedious and boring part of the job, but that's really my only complaint about it, other than the pay. My wife makes more than me, which isn't a problem in principle, but an extra 20k a year would help a lot. I was applying for jobs with salaries from 70-90k, and is a reasonable expectation for my degree in Boston/Cambridge

The discord server is by special invitation only.  Or, it doesn't exist.  I'm not sure which.

Ask Cram on FB what the link is.  If it is still up, he will have it.
