I Am a Hard Worker
I have chronic conditions that severely limit me when it comes to what type of work I can do. I have fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which limit me physically; and I have Bipolar Disorder and Dyslcalculia (a learning disorder that works the same way dyslexia does, only it centers around numbers instead of letters), which limit me mentally. It is extremely difficult for me to find work that I can actually do [i]well.[/i] The types of jobs I am best at are secretarial and light housekeeping.
Secretarial jobs are obviously not very physically demanding, and they don't usually involve too much math. They also require organization skills, excellent communication skills, and a developed sense of comprehension, which is why these kinds of jobs are the best for me. I tend to be pretty good at all of those things.

Housekeeping jobs are great too, as long as there is no heavy lifting. I worked at a nursing home once, as a housekeeper, and my basic job duties were just sweeping, mopping, emptying small trash cans, and dusting furniture. I also cleaned bathrooms there too, but since most of the residents at the home were bedbound, these bathrooms literally never got used, so it was no big deal. That job was pretty good for me because it wasn't sedentary but it also wasn't super physically demanding.

Those are the types of jobs I'm unfortunately limited to, because I don't have degrees or anything of that sort (I tried but that's a story for another time). When I work, I am 100% devoted to my job!! I will go above and beyond if I am treated well in the company, and I am not afraid to work overtime. I am a pretty valuable worker, but for some reason almost every place I have worked, any time I go above what is required in my job, instead of giving me credit, the boss just starts [i]expecting[/i] me to do that extra bit, which pretty quickly leads to me being overworked and burned out. :/
