People I see in movies and IRL being excited to get a job is so foreign to me, and I mean low-skilled jobs, not becoming a lawyer or some shit.
To me, having a job seems like a nightmare, not something to be celebrated. But I realize that to normies it's just a place you go, do some tasks and then you get money.
I'm on disability so I guess I'm privileged in that I don't need to work right now, but I don't get much money. The disconnect for me is that these people are excited because when they get a job, they're thinking of the money and what they can use it for. Buy a new car, go to the movies with friends, go on dates, go to bars and restaurants. To them, when they're happy about getting a job, they're seeing opportunity.
I on the other hand, hardly spend any money. Any money that goes beyond the bare necessities doesn't register to me, because what would I spend it on? To spend money is to participate in society and I don't do that.
If I get $1000 dollars a month in disability and they get $2000 working 40 hours that looks like a horrible deal to me. Because to me, there is no difference between $1000 and $2000 because I don't actually do anything, but I'm forgetting that they actually have a life, that they want to move up, that a job to them is just a small inconvenience to fund fun stuff. That's how far removed I am from society, someone being happy about getting a job is so foreign to me.
