I feel your pain. I work in a foundry and it's dead hot this time of year. I'm 36 but at the end of the day I feel like I'm in my 70s with the way my knees creak and pop when I sit and stand. I don't have that problem on my days off though. But that's part of the reason why I want to start my own Dudeist chapel. Work for myself while helping others. No more long days of being on my feet in a hot as balls factory processing molten aluminum. The pay is good and the benefits are phenomenal. But there's more to life than just grinding out a paycheck every week.
After being off of work for 10 months I'm back to my old job. The pay is pretty good, the medical benefits are astronomically good, but I just dont wanna do it anymore. The reason is, well, I'm getting older (50...give or take) and this job is just beating me down. I told my special lady friend that I think I might just sign up to be an Uber/Lyft driver or something and go on her health care plan when we get married in 2 months. I hate having to wake up at 3am to go to this job and come home at 4pm dead tired, I hate having to take pain relievers all day long (I have a bottle of Aleve next to my bed and the first thing I do is take one) and i just wanna say fuck it. I'm not looking to be a bum, just willing to settle for less if it means my mind, body and spirit are more aligned. I think my special lady friend would be cool with it...I guess I just got used to the whole routine of it all over the course of my life. Maybe it's time to move on....I dunno. Oh well, thanks for letting me ramble. side note: I work in an industry that does NOT allow me to smoke a J at all...EVER, so I cant adhere to a strict drug regimen. It would be nice to be able to just relax, well, thanks again Dudes.
At my age I am not sure what's worse, the physical demands of heavy lifting, or the alarm clock that goes off at 2:45 am every morning. I've found that sleep deprivation exacerbates every other issue.
