Boss is a huge Panther's fan.

 

I do have call center experience.

 

I am a disabled vet but the military determined that my severe arthritis existed before the USMC, despite passing the physicals and all...

 

I qualify for full disability back on my back, but I want to work and support my family. That and I don't have 2 years to wait for a check.

 

I do want to get a degree, but I haven't decided what I want to do. I'd love to do something through forensics for law enforcement or something along those lines, but I'm a computer idiot.

On a serious note, this sounds more like an instance of having to increase the bottom line in a department. Easiest way to do it is often let go higher paid employees and hire people at minimum wage to take their place. Doesn't help you at all, but that's what it sounds like. Good luck in finding another job. I would look into retraining assistance if possible to help you get a leg up for the next place you go.

Bending, crawling, squatting are all pretty out of the question. Between 2 rods and 22 screws in my spine and severely arthritic knees my physical limitations was pretty profound. I have several people telling me to just file for disability, but I just don't want to live off the gov't/you guys until I have no other choice.

 

 

What about home inspections? Can you crawl around or is it just heavy lifting? My uncle does home inspections and does pretty well in his retirement.

This was fuel. We kept gas stations and truck stops full of product either through our own systems or via customers ordering directly. It's was a fast paced, every changing job that I actually really enjoyed. It constantly challenged by critical thinking skills and it was rewarding to slay a slew of problems in a day and keep everything moving efficiently.

 

 

So your work was primarily logistics?  What type?

      Best and Worst PFF Grades for Jets Game

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Rotating in Chuba was beyond stupid and really hurt our offense overall. We’ve been in a good rhythm the last 6 quarters or so but Canales figured disrupting that with Chuba would be worth it Rico fits this offense so much better than Chuba    As far as grades go I know that ain’t our RB1, starting Center and our supposedly deep WR room and exciting talented young TE in dead last. Weird. I wonder if that has any correlation on QB play  Even that first incomplete ball Bryce threw in the end zone that hit Legette’s hands. Legette had no business being there so early. Legette went into scramble drill when that ball was intended for Coker who led up because of the traffic there

      Yeah Jets have pretty much been in every game they've played and have barely lost to really good teams. They are much better than their record says Imo

      Trade for a QB?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I kinda just wanna see what the offense can do with a QB who has proven he can move the football in the NFL. If Dalton wasn't a shadow of his former self I'd be fine with him but Father Time has definitely caught up with him. If we start piling up the losses as the schedule gets tougher and the passing offense continues to be anemic that might cast Canales his job and it's worth a very low risk move IMO to at least give him a fighting chance. The thought of yet another Tepper rebuild just isn't at all exciting to me having already seen a few of them. I'm about giving this current guy a fighting chance.
