After working a meh temp job at Goodwill (I don&#8217;t recommend it), I landed a receptionist position at a property management company. I liked it so much better than my past jobs. The office setting is definitely my jam. Unfortunately, I apparently didn&#8217;t have enough &#8220;industry experience&#8221; so I ended up losing the job after two weeks.

I didn&#8217;t mind the actual sorting of old clothes, books, and jewelry part. What I had a problem with was the state of cleanliness and the fact that you&#8217;re standing on hard concrete floor all day which makes my back hurt like the dickens. &nbsp;Since my car accident last year, my back has gotten more sensitive and standing for long periods of time really gets it. So standing for eight hours on a concrete floor for three days straight did not help. I was in so much pain that I flinched if I turned too sharply and I eventually had to pull up a chair and wear a back brace because I was almost in tears. But one thing you can take away from this for your characters is that when you&#8217;re constantly in pain you get moody. I don&#8217;t care what gender you are. It&#8217;s why old people are crankier or people with old injuries and chronic pain.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>2.) <\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Dryness Gives You Nosebleeds &#8211; <\/b>The other thing I talked about with that Goodwill job was the fact that it was really dirty.
