Gainful employment

People have views on jobs, whether they are 'good' or 'bad' . Like when I was telling someone who asked that I did various things in the factory under the title of 'general operative' and my mother chimed in 'dogsbody'. Maybe she thought I was trying to make myself out to be more important .You know the old fashioned 'Self praise is no praise' mantra her generation were raised on.In surveys I do online for money(I didn't bother sharing that information with her) it lists my current part time occupation as 'unskilled' .I suppose the Airbnb would come under hospitality which they seem to regard as 'skilled'. One of the women I work with was talking about a friend of hers, when asked what her daughter was doing , she answered' A kind of a sitting down kind of a job' . I think it was in an office,her mother didn't seem to think her daughter would have to exert herself at it anyway. I don't think I will ever have a career as such, just jobs that are seasonal or last for a finite time

I don't write well enough or often enough to get paid regulary from it. I could write more to lessen the block I have at the moment for fictional writing. Every time I try it ends uo being factual.I can't seem to stretch into a tangent to make it fictional.

 I scan my food shopping too, its a cent an item and you get paid in €15 euro One4All vouchers. I get bonus points for short surveys from them and for scanning throughout December. I can get extra points for referals but thats only if they invite the person who has given me their details. It's not difficult. Neither are most of the surveys , just tedious. You get quiker at scanning and weeding out the surveys sites which are too much effort for the payout. I like my little top ups.I feel I'm making back some of the money I sqaundered on things that weren't as good as I thougth they should be or were just a waste.

I'm starting to save again. I have never had an official loan ,just small ones I've repaid to family. I have no credit rating which means I could find it nigh on impossible to get a loan in the future. So I need to go to the Credit Union and find out how I can circumvent this. I think they will tell me I need to save with them more regularly and then let me have a small loan which I'll be able to pay off. Or else they'll say you have no record of regular earnings or of paying rent so we can't give you anything. It's not for me, it's more so if I needed it to help my daughteer down the line. She is only thirteen now so no college or car for a bit . But if my old Toyota calls it off or they do decide she needs braces, then it might be more urgent.
