I don't post on here (chit chat) very often but I need some random life advice. I would like to get a bit of income behind me from Christmas temping in a shop. I last did it three years ago and I know that it's good money because the hours are there to be had. I would love to put that money towards a few investments for my business (products/training and money to tie me over in the quiet periods).
Trouble is though that my health has changed since then. I have varicose veins and back pain and I just don't think I can stand up for a whole shift without causing myself a lot of discomfort at best, pain at worst. I'm a big girl and I'm anxious that putting that weight on my feet etc won't do me any good as even when I was a few stone lighter when I last worked in retail I had difficulty with it.
I don't know what to do. Should I go for a job and hand in my notice immediately if I can't physically cope? Should I give it a go or should I accept that it might be more pain/discomfort than it's worth?
On the one hand I think "come on it's only for a few weeks and that sort of money could give you and your business a good boost" but on the other hand I think "I get pain/discomfort from standing too long in social situations even after a few hours so should I really push it?"
What would you do! Help and advice needed please!
