A decision

I've decided that I'm not going to do any more voluntary work at the charity shop on Fridays. I'm sick and tired of being expected to work for nothing. What possible use is steam-cleaning clothes to me? I have a degree for fuck sake, and fully intend to use it. I've also decided that I'm not going to apply for any more part-time jobs. When I work I'm going to pay my own rent and pay my own  way. What is the point of working, if one still depends on the Social Security to survive?
