    I haven't worked under 50+ hours since February and that was 48 I would take a slow week I'm starting to feel like I'm burning my candle at both ends after work I have been trying to help my wife with the house we have been needing to get a bunch done and haven't had time also my boat sits idle only been on the water once this year but I digress I'm young and in our business you need to make it when you can because sometime someone is gonna take that dolly away from you and your gonna have to find someway else to make the greenbacks

    My mommy keeps trying to push me into management, but that's not all the glitter and glitz people think it is management anywhere is like your half signing your own death warrant.

    I would go with the food companies they pay better and are usually managed better and you have less stops. 18-25 stops a day delivering drinks is a lot.

    food for sure

    same work, pays better (lots)

    the heaviest thing on the food pallet is the soda fountain things, imagine a whole truck of those, by hand, every day. for less money

    food isn't picky either.

    "you breathing?"

    are you sure?
    cuz around here they are taking people right out of school (some, not all places) and "training them" (aka throwing them in the deep end)
