Count me in as a fellow part-time worker of three years! I'm a cashier at a low paying job and I love it. Love the customers that I ring out and help with purchases from the retail store.

My dilemma is that I stand for long times without a break...as much as 7+ hours. I have leg pain and back as well...so that is not good. I'm trying to find another full-time job that is similar and less physically demanding.

With my bipolar and mood disorder, I look back over my job history and see the gaps and why I left many positions. Now it makes sense...

I don't think working in a, perhaps, lesser capacity than you're used to is a crime. We do what we have to...I say enjoy the job and do what you can...
