Always dreamed of that job as a beer taster at the brewery but could never make it happen

 

Yup. I like this pic.

That's the Anytime Foglight mod in action BTW.

 

Probably because you "likey your beer" too much. And the brewery would go broke. Lol.

 

thanks chuck

 

@gugman hows the new job my friend?

 

When I got back they hired some more mechanics and because of my recent injury they promoted me to supervisor . That took alot.of the workload off of me and I got to do more of the easier service calls

 

i'm affraid i won't have that situation since the other 2 had no desire to do any work before i left i doubt they do now and is probably the reason the boss is wanting me back. i'mfaifly certain i will be dumped on upon my return but i may be suprised

 

Has the doctor cleared you for return to work status or are you to remain on light duty sedentary position " desk jockey"

It's against the law for a company to fire you or mess with you upon returning to work after an injury at work

 

i was cleared for light duty 4 weeks after the operation but my suervisor told me before i left i would not be allowed to return until i'm 100%. hell i'll never be 100% again according to my therapist. if i'd have been injured at work they'd have found something for me to do but not since i was hurt at home

 

I feel your pain 66. I have nearly an hour drive to work, get up at 4:30 a.m. and don't care a whole lot for my job anymore. It really wears you out getting up that early and doing all that driving.

 

afternoon gang

Well, day one done four more to go, then the weekend

Chris, I'm with Lloyd, see if you can find something closer and / or that you like. Less stress is better!!! I absolutely would not be able to do a job where I had to drive that far, with that traffic!!! I'd go postal Your health will appreciate a change.

I stay where I am because it's easy on my body (get your minds out of the gutter) and I can take time off to visit my grand kids. Doesn't pay well, but, it's better than no job and it's close by. Some of the folks I work with are great.....

 

yep i'll be up at 3:30, out the door by 4:20, drive 1 hour 15 minutes to get there, (sometimes a little less), already tired when i get there, supposed to start at 6 but usually hit the ground running no later than 20 'til. i usually give them up to 45 minutes a day working through breaks and starting early but it never matters they're suck-ass people in a suck-ass place oh well it is what it is

 

I could never work that far away , that's a nasty commute . I would definitely look for something closer and a job that's less stressful

You're a Military Veteran right ??

 

Hello Chris and Everyone
