Film Transcript

When I got out of hospital you just feel like, do you want to do anything? Just sit down, watch TV all day or listen to the radio, and you go mad. It's very hard because he only survived on your income. I just had all these weird things going on from everyone — what are people going to think? You just sit, do nothing, and you have to keep your mind occupied. If you don't keep your mind off things, you go mad inside the house and you can't do anything.

Cafes are good; it's much different. Since I started working I was feeling good because I wasn't cooped up inside. I was looking forward to a good day's work and learning new skills. I was helping the chefs out if things needed doing, and it's really good because it's a different atmosphere and the other staff are friendly.

So yeah, I may be part of the team — it's a good job. I'm doing something for two days a week, sometimes one day, sometimes four days, with Monday off. I'm quite happy with my job. It gives me opportunity to get out and sometimes I get freebies. I come to work and have good days; it's helpful to look back on your day and say, "God, I did that." I feel proud.

It's enjoyable because you meet new people. I feel glad and I don't have to have the stress at home and lie to people all the time. The job's been really good to people like us — people with learning difficulties, people with a disability, people with family illness.
