A few months passed by since that heart break, and I had found myself being a regular person again looking for work. My first job was at the home depot working outside pushing carts and helping people load objects in there cars. It was a dream job when I first started, I could be on the phone, look at women, (nothing wrong with looking) only pushing carts for the customers to use. Everything seemed like it was great, until the winter came and those rainy days felt like 30 degrees with a mix of hail hitting your face. Unfortunately with my dad giving me most of his traits, I ended up leaving the job and figured I can take on Fed Ex. I put in the two weeks notice for home depot but I already know those guys were pissed at me so who cares. Anyways my journey into Fed Ex was pretty cool they made my orientation feel really welcome and cool... But orientation doesn't last for ever, I made friends in orientation and we thought we would stick together for a long time but nope, as soon as we started the actual work we never saw one another again. This building was the size of several football fields and it was a midnight shift so even after work we would all get lost in the crowd when we left. I was an unloader we just basically knocked down boxes that were in the trucks placed them on a conveyer belt and continued that for five hours straight with no breaks. I still have ptsd from my manager yelling at me to hurry up as my back felt like it was breaking in half, but it made me stronger for a few days. The shift ran from 10:30pm-4 am and my ass wakes up early in the morning to take out my dog so I pretty much had no sleep. Two months had passed by and I decide to skip work and act like I was headed to it so my mother would get off my ass. But my slick ass manager messaged my moms number because that is who I had on my emergency contact and told her that I wasn't at work. So I ended up having my gf text me from her phone acting like my manager saying there was no work. Lol My mother took a screenshot and sent it to my real manager so the next night when I showed up my manager deadass fired me. The. I found a job at this galaxy Metal place where they make doors and hinges etc. So me just desperate at the time thought I was a great idea to do this in the summer a super hot warehouse constantly lifting metal with people who barely knew English went bad. The main guy I worked with was a dick like he wanted me to do everything after two weeks of being there my boss ended up hiring another guy that took my spot and they moved me towards to the middle of the building working in a spot that was packed with dudes that knew what they were doing. I honestly felt like I was wasting space so I eventually just stopped showing up without telling them.
