Drive a truck or flip burgers?

At least they're working. Not everyone has the education, IQ, sense of inner direction, or ambition to rise above whatever they are now.
That person flipping burgers is at least making a contribution to the work force and he's paying taxes.
He's not refusing to work and he's not trying to get by on a phony disability shuck like some people we see here.
I don't think it's fair to look down our noses at a burger flipper or a toilet cleaner just because it's a job we wouldn't do.
LOL...you guys ought to hear how some wealthy people, professional people like doctors, lawyers, and company owners talk about truck drivers. They're just as wrong to do that as are people who look down on common workers...but the attitudes are exactly the same.

 

Great.

Now bags of hammers need a safe space.

 

I talk #### about truck drivers too.

 

Very true...and my apologies.

 

I dont any company could pay less than what one would make flipping burgers. Anybody who has lasted a while in trucking has.made a living, I've never heard a cook at Burger King living the dream.

 

I usually leave my doctors well enough alone. Until something is fixing.

We we have been doing some fixing. And from what I see the docs are pleased as punch and so am I.

I noticed a change in my monthly required appt my doctor who was difficult a time or two for things that cannot be bothering him actually had some sunshine in him. Filled the medicines and no worries, My attitude made the staff happy.

There were some in there who were swaying and hurting in their pain. I cannot wonder sometimes if that is play acting or not. But who knows.

Ive learned to leave the doctors well enough alone until something they can actually fix.

One doctor, A battalion Surgeon in Iraq and before that other wars he made a good round with our area for many years. I showed up on a saturday with a very common painful sinus issue (Which eventually got resolved years later by a surprising procedure)

He clucked and hawed happy to do something about that.

I believe I was his last patient. Nothing but sunshine that morning. But for him he was sad. Didnt say a word about that pushing 60's

The following day he went to the Baptist in West Little Rock which was pretty much the first front line center for bad broken hurt people short of trauma. ate his .45 with a DNR inside the ER there.

What was going on was Bone cancer was consuming him. And a marital problem beyond tolerating. The bone cancer was something that could not be controlled by pain medicine. The procedure for that is to snip the spine below the shoulders and call hospice and induce and maintain coma until dead. That takes a while.

I don't bother doctors with small stuff. Not when they got some really BIG stuff going on not talked about with us. Not anymore.

I tell you what. Anyone who is consumed by that kind of pain in cancer that is overrunning his bones and getting up to take care of people is something special. But we all have our limits. He hit his that saturday.

I miss him. Not the only one.

 

Them guys can make good money tho , but man i dont think i could ever do it. Id be so skinny probably lose about 60 pounds in the first week because of non stop vomitting lol
