Hermann: “After some time without a job, I had to live from hand to mouth”
I was unemployed a few times. In a way, it was also nice to simply not have to do anything, but then, of course, there was the issue of money. After some time without a job – all the while drinking heavily – I found myself running out of money.
At first, I thought: “Just write a few applications to work as a warehouse worker or forklift driver, and you will be fine.” But construction, where I worked for years as a mason, unfortunately is not for me anymore. I’m already in very poor health. Unfortunately, my joints and my intervertebral discs are not of much use any longer.
