Surgery is a possibility but I'd have to A) have the money to get it done, B) have someone to help me post surgeries and C) basically be in arm cast for a year on both arms. It isn't always effective either. Stupid nerve gets caught in the elbow bone and that's what causes it. The repetitive motion is what caused the nerve to move over time supposedly.
Worked for a furniture store and mattresses are awkward as ****. You end up holding them too far away from body for good posture and strength of core.

Unloading a full size truck of couches or mattresses is insane. It’s like “how in the literal **** are there this many love seats crammed in here? How!?”

It’s like a clown car of mattresses.

As for Fed Ex…you need to be “good” at walking/hiking and maintaining posture with loads.

If you walk funny you will end up with knee, hip, and back problems to go with elbows…

theres x ammount of sorting followed up with a route that consists of rural areas and a couple of smaller towns. I applied.. but dunno if i get a call or if i leave my current gig. part time wages = full time delivery driver.

asked the the boss if I could work less.. like we had originally agreed upon n what i was hired for.... so far so good, back to 3 days next week. will see how long this lasts.

Hmm I wonder if I've experienced something similar to a far lesser extent. I'd say over the the course of like 15 years I've had this problem 3 times that lasts maybe about a week or so. It kinda happens in a weird way, but anytime I'd flex my arm in a way/bend at my elbow I'd get excruciating pain until I straightened it out. I just had to limit my use of my arm and wrap it so I wouldn't bend it much and it eventually would go away. I never went to the doctor for it, so I don't know what the hell it is, but it's extremely painful.

Well this mob hasnt called me.. guess I shouldnt have requested the top dollar in their ad, with zero exp.

Anywho, been a easy week thus far. 2 down, only 1 more to go. Told the #1 boss I was applying for another job and a different position opened up. I applied for it and scored an interview fairly quick... tomar.... different department.... less bs, but 5 days a week and its salary.. so an acceptable amount of free OT right. salary better be near me hourly or f that..

Smashed me Panel interview, so def in the running. internal ad only with limited amount of ppl applying. i know i have less exp aka no exp, with a certain framework compared to another **** applying who has years, so if i getz passed over, i getz it. will know soon enough though

830-430 M-F.. position rarely works any OT. Salary is less than what I make now, but its still okay and still nearly double a delivery driver. Good thing about salary.. bsing with time, coming in late, leaving early and taking days off without using annual leave. the one HR **** interviewing me told me you can stay back an hour or 2 M-Thurs and take friday off.. 'if you want'

this is the cushiest job in the place imo.. i needz it, like i needz to be funny

I desperately need a new job for the winter as I have yet to acquire enough capital to sustain myself sports betting.

Any ideas for a job hunt? Alumni offices ever work for anyone? Just use LinkedIn?

I had hoped I could save $10k and make 20% a month on bets to survive this winter, but I didn’t even get tv/internet installed until yesterday.

Which is like step 1 of being a sports bettor, is not to be in the dark ages of sports content access.

If I watch sports for a solid 12 months every night I can level the playing field again. Right now I’m losing the information battle hopelessly. Will almost assuredly need something else without too much luck to hope on…

I always play the numbers game and spam advertised jobs. Jobs im qualified for or not. Whether I'm currently working or not. It doesnt matter to me. I always try to use life experiences to make up for essentials i dont have n show how they relate. Its how I gotz me my current gig I wasnt qualified for on duh paper. Always custom covers with custom resume.

My reference are top notch too. Gotz clients, vendors from when i worked for meself and management when working for others ..all who will go that extra mile for me.

Plus i take the '**** it' approach in to my interviews. this is key imo .. these peeps can smell desperation n scripted answers. Ill be so unscripted that when i work in scripted material it comes across natural n sincere. Rather than some nerd looking at a spot in his brain trying to fit in shit they practiced in the mirror.

The **** it attitude keeps you relaxed and has you come across as confident.

If not spamming, try a agency/recruiter or peeps in your circle. if its just random i need cash work -- day labour mobs??

I didnt get the fucking cake role. MFer.

God hates the bears, so god hates me by association. If Gods son, Timmy Tebow was here, Id punch his fucking friar tuck ass in the mouth.

They took the **** with tons of actual experience, how dare they! It was my job! Now I cant freely abuse da attendance. BUT they only gave them a temp contract for some reason, so if they is a dumb **** ill get consideration next go round, cause i was numero 2. Fields was #2 last year and if last week showed you anything.. the fucking franchise. Theres still hope!

That guy who gotz the role seems squared away though, so i doubt hes detroit lion stupid and probably wont **** that shit up. just like da bears, theres always next year bois.
