What did you achieve today?

Post Reply New Topic

Went to work

Did not get made redundant this far. Maybe tomorrow. ("At will" employer)

Got human resources to change schedule. It scheduled me against my availability

Emailed the doctor letter to human resources. She said the manager is going to talk to me

The Dr letter said that I can't lift over fifty pounds and need a constantly available restroom

But I feel paranoid they will have the nerve to make my skeleton redundant because they could claim that I can't do the job without lifting over 50 pounds

The job description says "loading merchandise". Doesn't specify, weight lifted prerequisites. But a lot of merchandise over 50 pounds. 137 pound refrigerator, 94 pound bags of concrete

Constructive dismissal

Disability accommodations

However a cabinet 510 pounds. Nobody needs to be able to lift a cabinet

Besides it's not just weight. Some merchandise large and unevenly shaped. Some awkward postures. Some customers have the nerve to say "can you" do this and "can you" do that. Like it's so f*****g easy to load four boxes of tile flooring into the back seat of the car. You have to crawl through the door. No ergonomics. 69 pounds doesn't sound like a lot of weight but when you are bending over it's worse. Nothing shaped like a barbell. Like a BBQ grill.


Physics, Newtons. Mechanical advantage.

Almost all customers don't have any clue how unreasonable their demands are.


The job description for Lot Attendant does not specify a number of pounds lifted requirement


The job had no preemployment veterinary examination

I applied for Freight and they involuntarily reclassified my worthless corpse to Lot Attendant


During the job interview (or before or after), nobody from management asked me how much pounds I could lift


Sometimes if I make the mistake of asking for loading assistant some numskull barks "what tool?". "Huh". "oh s**t". "what is it?". "is it heavy?". "I don't think they need our help"


Coworkers, customers, supervisor, manager, day laborers

Act like convicted felons, psychiatric diagnosis, personality disorder


Rude, lazy , ghettoass thugs


Idiots

Talk too much and too loud and there are too many of them


Two out of three toilets at work out of order yesterday

Occupational health safety association violation


Considering not eating lunch because ulcerative colitis

Diarrhea

f**k those ass holes

Continuing to make "normal" food today, knocking up some lamb chops and veg for my lady and I this evening.
Lamb chops covered in oregano and salt on top of the grill and some steamed veg.
Life is good, even in iso, how is everyone else going?

met with kinfolk at the lake house of our beneficent host and patriarch [CEO of zumiez inc. ] that is my only taste of the high life. so today was better than average. had good party BBQ. pleasant breezes off the lake. pretty blue sky and green grass/shrubbery/tall evergreen trees.

called my dentist

found a useful small blender that i can use to chop up my veggies into a digestible slurry, now that i am forced to eat more of the green thingies.

To utilize my exercise bike..

I am on vacation in Georgia, I went to the Coca-Cola Museum and the Georgia State Aquarium, ate dinner at the Varsity Diner.

Took pics of CNN and TBS/Cartoon Network/Adult Swim headquarters.

Read articles about the death of Jon-Erik Hexum (in 1984).

Watched random YouTube videos

jon-erik hexum was a case of a tragic de-facto suicide.

I entered several contests again - during the last two days, I got as many as five winnings Now I also listen to ALL the music albums I won in various online contests during the last year - as for their number, all I can safely say is that their name is Legion My favorite one is the Aladin movie soundtrack The best winning - the most practical one - is the set of household chemicals

Managed to get my driver's license renewal form in on time inspite of the new lockdown that just started in my area.

did my physical therapy appointment. walked out on my own power.

I replaced my improvised speaker stands with acrylic ones. I reached my step goal.

Some weeks ago I won in an online contest a set of chick lit books (those are going to be for my mom who - unlike myself - is really fond of this sort of literature) as well as some cosmetics plus a candle but as I haven't gotten my prize so far yet, today I contacted the folks who organized this contest and it turned out the person responsible for sending it just didn't do it so as the mean of compensation I could additionally choose one additional book - so I chose the book by Steve Silberman on autism and neurodiversity

I already have one book on autism by some Polish author which I also won.

I got a CT scan (head/sinuses) and 2-3 years worth of radiation this morning after a month of being on a waiting list just to rule out random stuff. Lucky me.

Started a project to retrieve all the lyrics and chords of dozens of songs which I wrote but never recorded and haven't sung in years. A mixture of working out how they go with a Word document open to write it down in, and trawling through old notebooks to fill in the gaps.

Yay! I hope the physical stuff continues to improve.

I actually almost finished the work on a single client. Always have to say almost because there is always something more to do.
