Oh, all right! My post is not locked, btw, so if you're ever uncomfortable by the idea that everyone has the opportunity to read everything you told me, let me know and I'll delete your comments.
Yeah, I can understand why that might be an issue. A lot of jobs require either sitting or standing, and when they're both, you have to sit and stand on someone else's schedule, not yours. One of the first jobs that comes to mind in which you can sit and stand on your schedule is hairdressing, but then you'd have to go back to school and all that jazz, so that's probably not the way to go. I'm sure you'll find something that works for you eventually!
Ha, I don't have a driver's license either, but I'm Dutch and live in a small city, so I do everything on bike :D. And yeah, I'm always complaining to everyone as well! Occasionally I'll tell my friends about this great conversation I had, but most of the time I'll be talking about a client saying something unpleasant to me, clients forgetting to cancel so that I'll be standing in front of their door for half an hour feeling very worried, or having to deal with a difficult ethical issue. Still, the good moments far outnumber the bad, so I get why you enjoyed this work!
Definitely do talk to me! I'd love to hear your stories. Also, I can always use some pro advice about dealing with people with Alzheimer's. Just the other day, this elderly man suddenly became super angry with me because, as I discovered later, I had served him tea in the wrong cup. He had forgotten about it ten minutes later, but situations like that always leave me a bit shaky, so if you know how to deal with them better, I'll be all ears.
