I'm desperately trying to find somethin remote because I'm 50 and my body is just broken. I can't hold a "normal" job for more than a few months before I have a major issue. This weekend my back locked up for three days.

Hate going on disability, cuz it's just temporary and since 2018 I just cant seem to keep anything steady. My sister has a mgmt job with the same co for 20 years and thinks that I'm a loser/flake because I have health issues and can't work like a drone.

I've been applying all over, nobody calls back. I swear cuz they know how old I am and blow me off.

It pisses me off so much when everyone cries "Nobody wants to work anymore"
it's bullshit.

Hang tight. I hope you find an out soon
