Greetings hive, hope you are all well this Monday.
I went to bed last night expecting to wake up early and head to work, but that didn’t happen. Someone else was scheduled to work, and I was, as they say, "made spare," meaning I wasn’t needed today. Since Homebase went into administration just before Christmas, my stable and enjoyable 30-hour-a-week forklift job vanished. The tough job market, combined with my limited qualifications, has made finding new employment challenging. I managed to secure a job, but I really dislike it. Self-employment and zero-hour contracts make it impossible to save money, manage taxes, or cover living expenses. And the company behind it is just a pain to deal with.
Missing out on a day’s wages this morning left me feeling a bit down, and it kind of ruined my start to the day. As the hours passed, I began focusing on the positives. I can deep clean my room and finally clear out all the junk. Plus, I have time to engage with Hive, explore crypto communities, and catch up with friends and more notably fix up my cv ready to apply for a new job and maybe a new direction in my career.
Overall, i am now getting on with the day and making myself as productive as possible, thanks for reading.
