it's december 19 and human resources still hasn't called me in thus far.

i do not know if they are going to call me in after the busy holiday season, or after june 25. or maybe human resouces will never bother me again. home depot so f*****g disorganized, dirty, and dangerous. it's like it's own massive havoc wreak chaos solar system. f**k the stupidass day laborers s**t. did they just sneak over the border and hitchhike to home depot? the day laborers do not work @ home depot. why and how does the home depot tolerate all those ass holes loitering around, all day, every f*****g day? plenty of times, i was sitting outside a building for a couple minutes (trying to make a phone call, eating, WTF ever, not bothering anyone, and there is just one of me, s**t!) (rolls eyes) and some self righteous idiot had the nerve to come "shoo" me away, like i was a stupidass stray dog.

human resources said the doctor's form was good for six months.

ASM AC said that the doctor's form was good for 12 months.

the form asked the doctor how long the form was good for, and the doctor wrote 12 months.

in september i was applying for jobs. just random jobs. i do not know how to even look for jobs that are not just random jobs. retail sales. delivery driver BS. got a couple job interviews. went to a couple job interviews, but the vast majority of them way too f*****g far away from my jail, to go to. no car. public transportation not that bad, but almost all jobs way too f*****g far away. even minimum wage dumpster fire "jobs". s**t! besides, the entire state is "at will" employer, so even if someone made the mistake of hiring my worthless corpse, they could still gimmie the pink slip the third day. many companies have probation periods, or WTF ever.

it just takes too much time, $$$ and energy to take public transportation all the way to the stupidass job interview on my days off. esp since i am always f*****g exhausted and do not feel like interacting with anyone, s**t. besides, on days off, usually take a nap 2 hours after waking up. have to catch up on sleep on my days off.

besides, high school swim coach Cal, and my sister's high school classmate's mom, Mrs. S.U., said that it is "good" that i have a job. yes, i know not all impacts are immediate, visible, physical, or obvious. cal and mrs SU have lowfuck expectations/standards. and they do not know enough about the situation to know that it is "good". and they are judgmental and condescending. but WTF ever b/c they said that it's "good" that i have a job.

been waiting to get made redundant, before looking for the next retardedass "job". s**t.

panhandling and prostituation

It's December 24 and human resources still hasn't called me in this far

Christmas day and 12/26, not scheduled to work

Today did not have to load anything

But has to drag around backpack: lunch, book, umbrella, other cheap s**t

Back kind of sore today

Been slouching too much lately

Hate how my sitting height is the same sitting height as men one foot taller than me

s**t

Maybe I will get made redundant on Friday s**t

Constantly waiting for the other show to drop

s**t

today is january 20, 2025. innauguration day. martin luther king day.

thus far, human resources has not bothered me about the 50# letter.

when i am @ work i am constantly afraid that human resources will come bother me.

on the other hand, there is no way to know when (or even whether) human resources will bother me.

the entire stupidass home depot: dangerous, dirty, rude, disorganized. disaster waiting to keep happening. s**t.

on the other hand, home depot first put me on "leave of absence" on june 25, 2024. human resources told me that the doctor's note was valid for six months. it is now over six months later. on the other hand, the second longest job i had: 5 months long, age 18, cashier, Tuesday Morning. so what the flying f**k ever. even if i were to have been able to trick another company into hiring my worthless corpse on june 25, 2024, the next boss might've already had the nerve to make my worthless corpse redundant, s**t.

s**t!

f**k home depot!

home depot should've:

(1) put "lift 100#" in the job description
(2) asked if you can lift 100# at the job interview
(3) lifting test, before job offer and every four weeks thereafter

but the job description just says "50#", even though plenty of merchandise, such as litterboxes, much heavier.

then i have to go around begging dumb ass holes like Marquice to "please" lift it for me. and then that idiot had the nerve to bark @ me "are you helping me or am i helping you?". then another idiot, lot attendant justin had the nerve to tell me "i am not a slave". f**k those self righteous lil dipshits. the training videos say that all employees required to help with loading, but they do not, and nothing happens to them.

then the customer's barking @ me b/c i'm taking too long to find someone to lift it. ("why do you work here?" @ least two customers had the nerve to ask me.)

and i feel ashamed/useless b/c i am too physically weak. and then the other employees overreact b/c they think they're doing "my" work for me and i am not doing "their" work for them. (rolls eyes)

How much notice do you need give to quit. If you don't need to give much notice, if you can find a better job, then arrange to start after you quit your current job.

Yesterday, Assistant Manager Javier and Supervisor Angela had a meeting with me. Javier said that Home Depot was changing computer systems and had to update the work accommodations. He said that I had to fill out a form for continued work accommodations. I asked Javier if I had to get a doctor's signature and he said that he did not know.


So I am afraid that Home Depot will make me get a doctor's signature and the doctor will refuse, and then Home Depot makes my worthless corpse redundant.

June 2024, both ASM Aaron and ASDS Teresha said that the only jobs that did not require lifting 50 pounds (with job openings at that particular home depot store at that time) was Cashier. (Kitchen Associate, Back Office, Supervisor, and Manager, and Decor, Bookkeeper, and ASDS, are not required to lift 50 pounds, but they are hardly ever open. Supervisors and Managers have to wait for openings, go and pass interviews.)

However, plenty of employees, do not look, to me, like they are strong enough to lift fifty pounds.

donii

home depot's policy is that if employees just announce one day that that day is their last day, they are not rehirable at home depot.

employees that give two weeks notice, are rehirable.

according to the internet, employees that got fired could apply to get rehired, under certain conditions.

According to my boss, all regular associates except cashiers, Kitchen and appliances and back office, need to be able to lift fifty pounds. However plenty of employees look like they are not strong enough to lift fifty pounds. Home depot job application requires you to check off that you can lift fifty pounds

Even more confusing, the police officer physical test sounds so hard that everyone that can pass must look like Mister universe, but plenty of cops look totally out of shape and I fin it hard to imagine that they can meet the requirements.

Today I loaded a single 60 pound concrete bag for a customer and it felt HEAVY

And when I tell customers that I am trying to weight test it, those idiots don't understand or hear what I said and they just have the nerve to expect me to drop everything and do whatever they "asked" me to do

Plenty of employees in the building do not look like they can lift 50#. No lifting test

On the other hand, the cops and firefighters have to pass athletic test, but plenty of cops and firefighters do NOT look like they could pass the athletic test

For example, officer wiggum

Today a coworker, Roy, and I loaded about 20 pieces of lumber on top of a customers car. It just felt way too heavy and I was afraid that I would drop it

Roy is 67 years old and I am only 42 but he is much physically stronger than me. He is heavier and taller than me but just a little. He also smokes and he walks quickly and effortlessly.

Today the head cashier told me to go to the ASM office and when I got there the ASM and FES had the nerve to make me sit down and they went over my job description, line by line. But I have been working there four years and five months and have not, thus far, gotten made redundant, so I must be so something right, according to their standards. (Rolls eyes)

I asked ASM Javier which jobs do not require lifting fifty pounds:

Cashier
Pro desk
Tool rental
Garden
Kitchen
Appliances

He said that he would talk to the ASDS about moving my worthless corpse to a different department.

I really would rather stay in lot attendants, but my physical strength has been rapidly plummeting and wasn't that great in the first place. Pretty soon I will drop some merchandise and get injured or whatever

Today a customer had the nerve to tell me to load ten bags of sixty pound concrete and I told him about the doctors note and that I got someone to do it for him and the idiot had the nerve to grunt "what?" @ me. Way too casual. Way too many rodents don't have "excuse me" in their vocabulary. (Rolls eyes)

Today an unfamiliar woman told head cashier MM that she was in Lumber

Mm said that Lumber required lifting 80 pounds

The woman was about five feet tall and didn't look like she could lift fifty pounds

____________

Meanwhile plenty of cops and firefighters also don't look too impressive either. I don't understand how they could pass the test
