Is there anyone who'll hire me with three accidents on my record that are a year old?

    Working there is voluntary.
    I'd rather work there than punch a time clock in a factory or flip burgers in some fast food joint. I tried the factory work and hated myself everytime I punched that time clock. I like to keep moving even for lower pay.

    Well, I'll certainly try some of those companies. I mean, they may not pay as much, but my YouTube income can probably make up the difference. I'm not sure if I still have this job, though. I might've been scheduled to work yesterday, but my legs were in so much pain from working at the warehouse the previous night, I simply didn't go. If my boss gives me a hard time about it, I'll just tell him, "this wouldn't 've happened if you'd just let me drive the freakin' truck..." Either way, I ordered a dash cam and portable charger last night, so I'll finally have proof I don't run the stop signs or speed in the yard.

    If you don’t go to work call in. Don’t just not show up.

    Yeah, I actually make quite a bit of money on YouTube. At times it has helped me in a pinch. For example, one day I needed to pay rent, but my car needed a $500 repair to fix an oil leak. The Wal☆Mart warehouse I worked at at the time only paid me $12 for the whole week! There was a lack of work available, so they only called us in for an hour per week. Luckily, I made $1,200 on YouTube that week. I got my car repaired and paid the rent. Still had money left over afterwards. If you're interested, here are some of my most popular uploads. I even made most of the sound effects in each video:
