    If my body wasn’t so busted I would prefer general labor. Over almost any desk job. I hate it. I don’t have a chat section. At least with general labor i felt like i actually did something of worth at the end of the day.

      I honestly miss being a dish washer. Work at your own pace (within reason), get to take breaks whenever so long as shit isn’t piled up, and no dealing with customers.

      Unfortunately I’m just too tall to do it without eating NSAIDS like Skittles. Most of the sinks were barely dick height for me.

        Man, I say this all the time. If dishwashing paid a living wage I’d go back to it in a heartbeat. I am short, though.

      All jobs suck but if it paid better I would never have quit being a grocery store cleaner.

      Same. I miss being a barista making handcrafted drinks, but the pay was shit, honestly.
