I have an actual physical disability and I use a power wheelchair with muscular dystrophy. I work full time. It takes me a while to get ready for work. What I do is manage my time and get up early in order to keep my job. I honestly just feel blessed I have a job with benefits.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

The constant misuse of the word "disability" for every common problem under the sun is an insult to those with genuine disabilities. If these people struggle with being on time, they should pull themselves together and find strategies to overcome this problem. This is not the same thing as someone with a condition they cannot overcome, such as muscular dystrophy. I blame the psychology and psychiatry professions in particular for turning eveything into a "syndrome" or a "disorder".

[@FuriosaSonoran]

I also have a physical disability (etc), and there actually are programs for persons with disabilities (such as vocational rehabilitation) that can help with job placement, skills building, and career development. Usually, it's through state based DES (Dept of Economic Security- or the same gov agency that disburses food stamps, not incidentally). I've always worked, even when I've been insanely under employed and could hardly make ends meet. Usually multiple positions. C0vd really did destroy so many lives, and unfortunately that's especially true of those who are elderly, disabled, etc. Today, I work a retail cashier gig one day a week, and I'm also employed more than full time in my career field too (EMS). Although I live with an extreme amount of chronic pain, and cannot afford treatment for my conditions- I've never in my life been able to afford to "not work" in order to even try to get on disability even though I likely wont have the physical capacity or funds to make it to retirement. And. I've been working in some capacity since I was 13. For Gen X especially, there just was no wealthy Aunt Mildred or Golden parachute that these younger generations seem to have. This has also influenced the fact that I refused to reproduce and make more slaves for the social security system. Having experienced actual discrimination due to disability in the workplace- and not having even the money to litigate it; I wouldn't wish any of this total nightmare on my worst enemy, let alone my own flesh and blood.

Ever notice how "time blindness" only ever means they can't make it to work on time? It never means they accidentally work 10 hours because they were unaware of the time.

[@wrennspencer6070]

True. I actually HAVE time blindness, which is extremely rare, and used to stay in trouble for doing too much & working too many hours. For 8 years I ran a business with my spouse so I was used to working. + I had 3 small children. It's a wonder I lived through those years, it was untterly exhausting. Financially rewarding, but money isn't everytging.

[@sharonodom6575]

​​​​@@wrennspencer6070 I was fixing to say that! I've been declared disabled now, but I used to always get sent home for having too much overtime. Then, getting chastised, bcuz they need me tomorrow but I can't, bcuz of the overtime that I wasn't supposed to get at all. --I never let it make me late, bcuz that's disrespectful & I'm self-aware. I start prepping to leave hours early, set timers to alert me 1hr, 30mins, 15mins... --I'm often too early, but I used to help co-workers till I could clock in. --I have no concept of time; I'll tell my husband 10mins @7pm; then realize hours have passed & it's 2am(it's gotten worse). --Trouble with memory, no organization; I have an "executive function" disorder or something like that. I just tell ppl ADHD to keep it short & try to avoid interrupting others. Still trying to manage it, but with work I think I was hyper-fixating on getting everything finished (impossible).

[@chrisfleischman3371]

Yeah, it seems that that time blindness only seems to work in one direction. Actually, I think it is really a mere lack of sufficient self discipline.

[@stacymar684]

You are correct. I too suffer from time blindness. Co-workers HAVE actually had to tell me that I was ten minutes past my shift and it was time to go home. I would look at the clock, see that I only had 10 minutes left on my shift, and the next thing I know, a co-worker was tapping on my shoulder because my shift ended 10 or 15 minutes ago. That is what real time blindness looks like. I literally have no sense of the passage of time. I think I'm doing something for 5 minutes, but the clock says 20 minutes. Sometimes it feels like I've been doing something for 20 minutes, but the clock says 5 minutes. Thank God for smart phones. Before smart phones, I had five alarm clocks in my house. Today, I have 10 different alarms on my smart phone that go off daily, weekly, and even once a month to keep me on track. So yeah, time blindness is real. I just grew up in a generation that didn't use real medical conditions as an excuse to be a garbage human being.

I sent her a copy of her signed proof and contract, but she said that she made the mistake but expected a full refund and to be able to keep the first piece of jewelry since I could not sell it to anyone else. Paypal took her side, and we had to refund her money without getting the item back - not that we could have resold it anyway. As my late husband would say, "That s the cost of doing business".

In 5 years I was completely self employed. I didn't have any money. I literally started with $15 of fabric. I'm not rich or anything but I earn a decent income all while being a homeschooling, stay at home mom. I'm just posting this in case someone needs to be encouraged. You don't need investors or education or whatever is holding you back. Just start! I love owning my little business and all the joy it has brought my life.

Time Blindness is actually caused by an Interest Deficit. Time Blind folks seem to never be Late to a Concert, Never be late to anything that interests them, rather than someone else.

[@AnyaMidkiff]

I have adhd, my husband has adhd, both of my kids have adhd and one has autism. We make lists, we set alarms, we set out our clothes the night before, we meal plan and prep so we can grab our food before we leave the house…time blindness is not an excuse!!! We have got to actually take accountability and not expect the world to revolve around us because we have things we struggle with. EVERYONE has things they struggle with but it’s how we overcome them. I’m so sick of people wanting to be a victim over everything. This is the real world…as my mamaw says: “wake up and smell the coffee!”

Same. Entire ND house and my teen struggles with time due to his LDs, and I feel like OTs now do a lot of babying. So we just started making his chores and tasks due by a certain time so he has to start checking in on time. He doesn't notice the passing of time and we want him to be independent. My autistic son is globally delayed and will probably be at home for a long time. We are generational military family and trying to instill work ethic.

Most of us work in order to afford to do the things we enjoy on weekends, vacations and when off work. If work was supposed to be fun it would be called something like play or game, not work.

I am amazed at how many Christians still get the verse "the root of all evil is the love of money". That is not what the verse says. It says, "the love of money is the root of much evil." Big difference.

[@a.p.5429]

Depends on the translation. Oldest is...the love of money is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10

I've worked 8 years of my life & i'm 23 personally, the more i work the more i lose it's sad the state of it here in the UK where a good 60% of your wages goes to taxes & i ain't even in the middle class income bracket, we need to start rewarding hard work again! where you can work 5 days a week & have plenty of money to enjoy yourself & live confortably. With trump in office i think this is gonna happen in the USA hopefully all his massive cuts to taxes makes the world realise that 90% of goverment bloat isn't needed & other countries follow the blueprint for success.

I ran my own business. I actually worked more hours and sometimes made less money than people who just worked 40 hours a week.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Absolutely true. I run my own business as well. There's a running joke that definition of Entrepreneur is someone who gives up a 40hr job with benefits and vacation days to work 80hrs instead with no benefits or vacation 😂😂 But, I just can't see myself doing the same thing for the rest of my life. I'd rather wind up on the street trying to do my own thing than do that.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

"made less money" EXACTLY!!!! Thanks for pointing this out.

[@grimmpoetics313]

Almost anyone with their own business does that. You are every employee and sometimes you don't even get paid. It's called life

"TO SURVIVE" - Contribute to society, or survive without it.. its pretty simple. Crazy how people talk about equity, and fairness. but want to not invest, not contribute, just consume all the results.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Those terms equity and fairness are NOT what they actually mean. What they want is superiority because of some perceived (but not real) injustice. It's a victimhood complex, plain and simple

He stuck it out as long as he could stand it, had a sizeable chunk of change, and then moved on to a maintenance position at a hospital for a cool $32/hr. He's done well for himself.

So basically, if I don't support their desire to dismantle a system that has worked relatively well for thousands of years, I'm entitled and greedy? Mkay.

Our system is relatively unique and has been around for 248 years. We are famously known as "the great experiment". I get your point - just stating facts.

[@scotttovey]

@@-.-Monster "Our system is relatively unique and has been around for 248 years. We are famously known as "the great experiment"." Well, if you want to get technical, it's only been around for about 100 years. The middle class began when Henry Ford raised Ford Motor Company's minimum wage to $5.00 -an hour- a day so all his employees could afford the cars they were building.

Don't forget they are laid to protest and supported by donations from the richest people on the planet that want to rule us. Everything they complain about is a 100 times worse. They are too brainwashed into the cause to see what they are doing. Same group supports aborshunz. What does that do, besides suspend life? Promotes a long to indefinite pause on having a relationship that means something. A bond where you team together and have a family of successful people. These activists are only attack dogs, amd are only inspired by the doggy treat thrown at them at the time to get their euphoria. Always obedient to their master.

[@chrisandlizsizemore8172]

6:54 Right there. That's really the problem why more people want to have a business than those who actually try and start one. Competition and cost keeps most plausible businesses from ever starting. You know how hard it is to get an angel investor nowadays to buy into anything that's NOT AI or tech? My gawd. I mean, I've been itching to open a F&B for years but the start up cost is millions. What average citizen had that kinda money?
