1. What is your job (the thing you get paid for)?
I am doing a trainee right now to get my lawyer's title. It is half work, half study and I get paid for it but very little (just enough to survive).
2. What is your relationship to your job? Is it something you 'just do' to pay the bills, is it something that you do because it fulfills you? both? neither?
Sometimes I like law, sometimes I deeply despise it. Right now I work in the Foreign Ministry for three months and it is okay. Anyway, most of the time I want to do something different, more creative, more independent.
3. Do you do other activities that you don't get paid for but consider "work"?
Yes, I am a writer, so I consider writing and planning new creative projects kind of work. It is at least more than a hobby.
4. What is the relationship between your job (or "work") and your moods?
Sometimes work calms me down and makes me feel more stable. I guess it is the routine. Anyway, it can make me feel depressed as well, if I don't find any meaning to it. When hypomanic I have huge difficulties to concentrate on work because I have so many better things to do.
