"Pushing Myself Down" by 8 Hour Animal

What is a song that makes you think of your first job?

content warning: vague SA references (sorry)

my first proper job i was a dishie in a restaurant when i was 15, i liked washing dishes bc i could mostly put arms on autopilot and think about my own things. but my manager was real gross & gropey which made it a lot more stressful than it needed to be. i just wanted to zone & clean my pots. and i felt like i couldnt do anything about it and this was just the way things were. so i would just dissociate while he did stuff and this song i feel like captures that headspace. sorry for sad spider lore dw it only ever gets worse
