Work or Study

Hey, do you work or study, with what, does it work out fine, do you get discriminated?
----
I am just about to start my practice at a hostel. Yesterday I visited it and they told me what kind of chores I might be doing when I start next week.

"There is the kitchen, but I know how you don't like to be around meat, so that is not for you.

Then there is the laundry, don't worry, you don't have to touch any dirty laundry.

You can mangle the fresh laundry! Or else you could serve the guests or clean.

We clean the floors and the bathrooms here. Also, you could work in the reception."

So I told them "Well, obviously I will not be working in the kitchen. I do NOT clean up after people or serve people.

Also, my brain is a total mess, I could never focus enough to actually do anything where you have to think.

Also, my hands are completely useless, I should probably get sick gymnastics about that.

The only things I am really talanted at, without strain, are taking care of toddlers and speaking English."

So they were like: "Well, there are no toddlers here, but if some guest has a problem, we can get you to talk to them!"

O...K... ...Well, that seems like *lots of fun*... ...I could not study, because I could not focus on it.

I can not work with my hands, because they are so shaky and stiff, because of all the twitches in my hands.

Well, well, I guess I will see if I can do any of that... ...Talk, I definitely can do.

(And YES, I can think, but when it comes to thinking-chores, such as scoohl work, I can never focus my thoughts on it)

I seriously hope that no-one allows you anywhere near their toddlers with your major paranoia and tendency to issue death threats!

**Yes, I know I should have not said anything, but boy it was just too tempting to pass up!**

Poor... very poor.
