Well, I finally broke down and went to a temp agency to see it they would have anything for me. Today they called me and sent me to a frozen foods distribution center where I heaved 40 pound bags of ice onto pallets for several hours. I got a long break because the machine hung up and they had to call a guy in to repair it. I wonder what kind of physical condition I would be in if the machine hadn't broken down. I wonder if I will be physially capable of getting out of bed tomorrow. I don't think I've been this sore since after I was in a car accident. I'm kind of annoyed that the arm that got broken in the accident is less sore than the good one. Oh, to have been a People person. I guess a lot of people have had shit jobs before they became famous so no doubt this is an extremely promising situation. At least the assignment is only two weeks, if I can actually last that long, and god, I hope it doesn't go any longer.

Ouch, that's rough. Do you know what order-picking is? I used to order-pick in the werehouse of a bulk-foods wholesaler and was required, on a daily basis, to heave 50-70lb bags of foodstuffs onto a pallet which, towards the end of the order, was stacked above my own head height. It's horrible work, and I feel for you, but trust me when I say that your muscles will get used to it if you can endure the initial period of intense soreness. It also helps to stretch before and after work. But, in so much as it's grueling labor, I sincerely hope you find a new vocation soon. If not, good luck my friend.

Ah yes, crawling around in a pile of debris...thanks!
