Working keeps the mind healthy shiz, people who don't work often suffer from depression because they don't work, if they forced themselves to get a job, get out, have conversation with adults, make friends, that depression would probably not be there. Sometimes these people need a push even if it's not what they want at the time.
When i have a week off because there's no work , i quickly get depressed, fall into a routine of late nights late mornings, constantly on the pc, feel lethargic and all those jobs I intended to do get put off till tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow until I'm back at work. THEN they eventually get done between work, either after or on the odd day off. These people will do anything to avoid work because they feel like I do, they don't want to work, they're in a rut. It's so easy to pretend you're looking for work when you aren't, so easy to pretend to be depressed when you aren't, but then they actually do become depressed through doing nothing all day.
AND they've bought in stupid laws to stop people working. The electrical laws, building regulation part P, suddenly after being an electrican 18 yrs, I'm no longer capable of doing a job safely unless I go on the latest course, oh no I can't just keep up with new regs by reading them I have to prove it in a class room, and I have to pay 365 quid. I was only doing cookers for pensioners at the weekend for 20 to 30 quid, they can't afford a 60 quid call out.I never got 365 quid worth of jobs in total a year, now I can't. There's lots of old boys that used to do this sort of work but it's not worth the hassle now so they sit at home all day every day. Poles come over here now doing building work and wiring because we no longer have enough qualified and paid up people.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR this government are so stupid. 5 people die a year through dangerous wiring, well I demand to know if that figure has gone down, cos I bet it hasn't, the cowboys get registered pay the 365 quid and carry on. The prices they charge they can afford to. I don't want to doit full time and have a conscience.
