    Aberdeen Maryland was Darden via MBM indirectly for me. They paid FFE to hold a tractor trailer on their culdesac for a while of being dedicated out of that company who rented my truck, provided trailers and FFE paid me out of that revenue regardless of what I did or did not do that week. (Salary) The more I delivered the more I was paid. But I settled into taking care of 4 red lobsters each weekend. All of whom are over achievers.

    The one difference between this account and all the other work I did with exception of Narcotics from McKesson, is that your seafood is plastered all over your gigantic billboard for every greedy cheap tight fisted theif to come running from all over in Jersey.

    Tire thumber goes to work as you close the distance to the theif jiggling with that big padlock that is yourn.

    HEY YOUSE... and double time close the range.

    No matter how big they are their knees always knock when they see that tire thumper and take off. One fell all over themselves trying to get self evacuated asap to flee. Caught cookie jar crime red handed too.

    It was a happy time back then. Good eating 4 times a day The money took care of itself.

    Does anyone know how McLane is in Rochester NY?. I seen they were hirkhiand was curious what the job entails. I'm in food service as it is working at bakemark USA. But more money is a beautiful thing.

    More money is a beautiful thing eh?

    Ah the optimism of youth prior to marathon battle with a lover so to speak.

    I hope you held on to the beautiful money thoughts when your legs are rubber, your fingers chopped, arms nutrition provided by a thousand cuts infused by fish oil and your head contains a number of knots that should put you into a Trauma evaluation. Never mind the screaming on fire spine and feet that refuses to be preCISE with that onery tractor that has now developed a steering wheel problem to go with the annoying warp in your front wheel because you tried that curb that you were told not to try.

    I hope to be difficult but after all that, they they come out of the resturant because your delivery represents a week's labor of love plus extremely good money to them, you better be cheerful and say GOOD MORNING. (Effing hell... lolz)

    Always without fail put a thousand dollars aside on every 10 dollars you make. So when your body does give out and put you into the disability rolls you will have something to fall back onto that beautiful money. Otherwise it's a hard bird poopy park bench with the Law knocking on the iron frame for you to wake up and get a move on.

    Ha, I'm younger, 26 married with a two year old. I just want to provide them with the best life possible. Something I didn't get when I was young cause my family were an exscuse of idk what.

    But I'll do whatever. My body is already messed up, football, wrestling, track, powerlifting. I have a long resume of things that I'm going to probably regret when I turn 40.

    Takes a certain type of person to do a Foodservice job. I was doing it at 41. I didn’t leave cause I couldn’t do the job. I left for other reasons. Honestly I missed linehaul.

    I think you fit the bill. Youll be fine at Foodservice. You’ll be home more and provide a good living for your family. Mclane is to me the best Foodservice company to work for. I mean GFS and Shamrock might be in the same sentence also. We don’t have a GFS in my area.

    Quite a few outlaw outfits. Not the driving part in the old iron which is pretty gnarly at times but the loading and unloading parts as well. Heck I was a young un in those days I did not think it was a problem. Lump all morning, drive all day, unload all night, drive to get loaded by lunch repeat. yeesh.

    Much of my medical stuff has been repairing what is possible to repair. The hip comes to mind as the biggest work order to date. I have a couple of other work orders pending on the skeleton and so on but first things first. That's why we have doctors who are careful to test and evaluate my health, look at the heart etc. For example the mitral is becoming a problem. IF that breaks then it's possible that the blood will break through and squeeze the heart to a stop in a few minutes. If that was to happen you can have the finest trauma surgeon with all the stuff there, but you are already dead at that point. So one of my tests will be looking at that one which has been progressively getting rather bad these last 7 weeks. I just need to get through the next three.

    I don't know if I will be able to. But regardless, we are committed for better or worse. No worries.

    Your doom and gloom story every time someone asks about food service is not at all like my experience. It is certainly a physically demanding job, but it is as hard as a guy wants to make it. I go to work knowing my body needs to hold together and treat it accordingly.

    Cardiac tamponade is certainly a medical emergency. ER doc or paramedic with a big ### needle is your best bet for that one. Good luck getting fixed, and happy thanksgiving

    Cardiac Tamponade is considered lethal for a variety of reasons, however I think I brought that scenario as a excessive drama as sometimes gets into my writing. Mitrial controls the blood from lungs to keep fresh oxygenated blood moving this way and make room for more. If it does not work as in my case there isnt room to get enough fresh blood clear to bring in more to oxygenate from what I understand and eventually youre out of gas rather quickly in various ways.

    Food Service was a good work for me, the last of that kind of physical work I would do in life besides blacktop. My trouble with food service was with certain dispatchers or thieves who needed a knock because they are capable of stealing me into the poor house. I don't know the market rate of 120 pounds of lobster but I would rather the eating house gets all that.

    Another problem with the CT emergency is if someone does not know how to use landmarks and so on to put that needle in, they can do a great deal more damage really fast and bad. I know how to close off a hole in chest that exposes a lung to try and get it reinflated but anything with the heart is in god's hands as far as I am concerned. And that of the surgeon if you survive to get there.

    As far as the Gloom and stuff, I'll explain myself a little bit. In my early time people took time to explain how bad things can get if i screwed something up. The unintentional result was growing up thinking ok, how bad can this go? And make sure it does not go that bad. (Hope this made sense)

    I changed my thinking to I would prefer nothing to happen today and go on with the wonderful day. However I keep watch. So many people around us do not "Keep watch" they are so wrapped up in their life so to speak and not aware of what might be coming their way if they didnt watch that driver coming at them.

    Since I don't drive much, there is noting much to worry about. So there it is, things improve in life.
