Actually, this has been loading up for a while and just peaked this week..... I had a lille dispute with the manegment at the shop i work in last week, and as the impulsive guy i am, i told (her) to go FxxK herself, and went home to cool off a little.. Then my wife passed by the shop to have a chat with the owners wife and she got the MOTHERLOAD of badtalk, not just about me, but about herself too. So tonight i talked to the manager on the phone,( he called to apoligize) And i got to tell him too that i aint coming back. As the cream on the cake, i got my shoulder dislocated a couple of days ago, and the pain was HORRIBLE! I just screamed, and fell to the floor, out of concious. Yeah, i know i am a weiner, but..... Anyhoo, today in the shop, i was grinding the bolts for the rubber moulding on the front bumper off, to replace them with something cool i burnt myself on the hand.. As i made the sudden move to get out of the hot spot, the shoulder popped right out again.... With the car in the paintshop, i will have to rely on the wife, and friends to get the car done.. On the bright side, as a unemployed handicapped loser, i will hav a LOT of time to lurk around here and maybe even put some photos up for us all to enjoy And, please dont feel sorry for me, i really need some time off, i just posted to get it a little bit out of the system.. Despite the regression, i will have a new job anytime i want.... Thanks for listening // Jim
I'd say if you can't count on a bunch of folks who share your hobbies to listen to you're troubles, you're in the wrong bar. Hope you enjoy the little break despite the pain. As always I, for one, look forward to any pics from the lowlow clan!
thats why we are here brother! every job has its own type of bull$hit...the question is....Can you put up with that particular Bull$hit at that point in your life?!!
I gonna trie to cheer you up, hun! You have 3 beautiful dogs at home, stupid but good looking. They are our angels, one of them just used the floor in our kitchen as a toilet, so please think angel before you strangle the little bastard. Ah, you CAN'T strangle her, cause of your shoulder. You have a stereo in your Blazer, it dosen't work, but still a stereo. It's a good car to drive when youre shoulder is sore, you don't have to use your arm right arm, right? The car dosen't stay on the road because of the bad tires, but then you have 4wd drive to go off road! Maby it will hurt your shoulder even more to go offraoad, but..... If you don't want to drive the blazer you can borrow my volvo, it dosen't start all the time, but hey! It's a volvo. Your wife is gonna help you fix the buick, she's not so good at it, and she has hell lot of pain in her back, so probably you want to do evertything on your own afterwards, as you always do.... but still.... Gaaaah, if I keep trying to cheer you up, it's gona take an end with suicide! I better stop writing and get some painkillers to us both instead. Maby we can have some fun in the land of morphine instead! Don't forget the most important thing, I love u, hun!!
Lowlow, sounds to me like you have the right attitude in that you could use the time off and you'll be putting it to good use. Kick back, recharge the batteries and when you're all refreshed, head out and get a better job with better people than the one you had. I'm sure you'll be a whole lot better off after you get through it all. I guess you have to go through bad times to recognize when you're going through good ones.
I´m so glad i took the decision to ventilate here! Thanks a lot people, not to forget my wonderful wife who is the most supportive human being i´ve met! I sure will take this break, as a break.. Letting the body heal itself, get my own cars running, spend time with the wife and work with the dogs.. I´m thinking of a career change too.. I always have in a way or another worked as a blacksmith, welder and mechanic on the heavy industries along the eastcost of sweden, until i had a bad fall off a papermachine. The last seven years or so i have been working with the US-cars that i love, as a hobby, building hotrods, tuning racecars and beefing up daily drivers.. But the body god gave me is signaling that it had enough punishment now..Here in sweden you have a really decent pay as a (?) "cleaning people" Dont know the word in english.. I never feel as relaxed and satisfied as when i can walk around sweeping a floor and polish some mirrors and so on... Maybe its a strange thaught to convert from professional hotrodder to cleaning guy, but i have a good feeling abot it.. Maybe it´s something that i need to sleep at before taking the final decision
There is no shame in being in the Janitorial. You can work your way up the ladder or once you learn everything you can start your own business. Honest work and being happy is what it is about,among other things in life.
Unemployed handicaped loser....... Been there done that, OH wait...I'm doing it again as I type, my latest was knee surgary. I feel for ya, it's the indesition of the unknown future thats bothering. I've never blown a shoulder but have blown myself up pritty good a few times. I'm full of steel and doner parts, yes there is another persons parts in me. Take the time and heal, you clearly have a lady who cares and at least you can go for a walk with your lady and dogs, rite? Mrs Lowlow, your words of support.....you must be a distant relitive to my wife
Hey Jim, I thing you may have a good idea there. The statement "I never feel as relaxed and satisfied as when i can walk around sweeping a floor...and so on..." Knowing what makes you happy is a wonderful thing. Maybe if you let your body heal up, and take some time doing something else, your hotrod hobby will be more enjoyable to you. David
Fannie and LowLow, you gals are inspriring. I remember a few 'Bad Day' lines from an old Johnny Carson show: You know you're having a bad day, when: ... you get all dressed up for an interview, and your skirt stays tucked into your pantyhose. ... the 60 Minutes investigative crew van is parked in front of your office. But here's a few more: http://www.anvari.org/fun/Truth/Having_a_Bad_Day.html http://humorsection.blogspot.com/2006/09/having-bad-day.html
