I don't think he can handle the physical requirements, along with the standard headache absences, he'll be kaput inside 2 months.

I'd hate to be pessimistic, but the tummyache/headache absences start every single time.  ODF needs to show he can work through it.

I'm hopeful that for once in his life he will enjoying go to work since he won't be having to fool himself that he's some white collar charismatic engineer CADD Sales Rep.

I assume he'll jump ship for a temporary CADD job that doesn't wind up panning out.

The physical requirements are the only issue that could be problematic. Otherwise, I think Bushie has found a job he'll actually enjoy and which has a good deal of potential for him.

I sincerely hope he doesn't get fired for repeated absences again.

I haven't voted, yet. I am about to go into the last interview before I focus exclusively on the grocery store.  I am already not too keen on today's interview because I think it is mostly Civil CAD and I don't have any formal education or experience in Civil.  I will likely say thanks, but no thanks before I walk out of the interview, but I want to give him my attention for a few minutes.

I hope Bushie spends the next month seriously getting into shape. And none of this cheat days, oh I'm so good I walked a whole 20 minutes nonsense. Or else he'll quit after the first day, when he is unable to stand up at the counter for more than 5 minutes.

Three months?!  I'll go with under.  The fact that the actual employee in question isn't willing to commit to a vote yet makes me like those odds even better.

Bushie, literally just walking in place in your apartment and being up will actually help with this transition.  Now, I frankly find the American Boss Man's obsession with his servants standing all day to be utterly ridiculous, but it can't be helped and you will be subjected to this torture.  Get used to being on your feet.

I just voted "Way over".  That's my determination and my goal.  I'm going to give this my absolute everything.

Remember, Bushie, you're going to be on your feet for 8 hours a day at this job. That's 480 minutes.

At the bare minimum, you need to at least practice standing up the entire time you watch TV because that's going to be your life at this job.

I'm looking forward to it.  I will become great friends with my Aleve bottle, but I'll be alright!

Can we move this conversation to the Update, please?  I still am not a fan of multiple threads about me.

Tough cookies, bub.  You created this monster.  This is like when Naso asked us to stop using his real name.  It's not gonna happen.

I don't see it as harmful in anyway, I just don't like to see the clutter on the FC board.  It doesn't make any difference to me, really.  I will just continue to post in the real Update.

A nice thing about the meat counter is that Bushie can lean on it. So, while technically standing, his joints need no carry the entire burden.

it is hard to get fired from a grocery store.

if odf gets escorted out then something is seriously wrong.

The problem isn't the risk of Bushie getting fired. I am confident that he can "clean up the meat."

The problem is that inevitably he will be distracted by a shiny object in the form of an email promising that he can make $80,000 a year at home from his laptop just like the stock photo of a woman smiling at her computer while clutching fistfuls of cash, if only he attend a free day-long seminar, pay thousands of dollars for training materials and tell all his family and friends.

I'm too wise now to fall for that.
