    Years ago I received a promotion after just a month of starting and one dude started spreading rumors about me to get me fired, claiming he was more deserving of the position since he had been there longer. But he was only there because they were so short staffed that even someone such as himself who’d do a day’s worth of work over the course of a week couldn’t be fired without screwing up everybody else’s schedules. I referred some friends and once they were hired he was out the door. Hit me up on LinkedIn about a month later asking for a reference. There are some serious clowns out there.


  • I pulled my bed out to grab something that fell behind, forgot to push it back, turned off my light and went to lay down. Stubbed my pinky toe into the leg of the bed frame so hard that I broke two metatarsal. I already had arthritis and tendonitis along with an as of yet diagnosed neurological condition. It ended my welding career and made most general labor positions impossible, and with no office or administrative experience, I’m at a tremendous loss and now navigating the nightmare that is qualifying for disability assistance in the US with no insurance and no money for a doctor to get the proper medical records.
