Just got a job offer. Must accept or decline by morning.

[anabolichalo]

I've done both types of work. That's not necessarily true at all.

i meant unskilled physical work mind you...


i could imagine that if you are really good at some trade it could be enjoyable if it's not too demanding


but being a little wheel in a big machine sucks

[anabolichalo]

bird in the hand...

this also

never change for short sighted reason


only change for REAL improvement long term

dont wanna be limping from one shit job to the next

[anabolichalo]

i quit my former job impulsively for trying to get another one

didnt get it

was jobless for 1-2 month

by the grace of Jehova God I managed to get by pure extreme luck another job that was actually a solid improvement and same line of work, they called me up for it

took it right away, actually very happy how it all worked out, my former one was children job compared to this


but very crazy story, dont do something like this, not likely to have that much luck

I admire people like che who do physical labour 8-10 hours a day. I tried a couple of days to work in constructions and it ain't fun. I also painted houses for a day or two, cleaning stuff up, stripping the inside and it's also difficult. I was always curious, for example che, how do you eat, what and how much, and how do you find energy to go to the gym and lift?

years ago i was real fucking desperate trying to get a first job

i worked one day as a mail delivery man

i would rather kill myself right there instead of going back after first day so i said FUCK IT and never went back


brutal job

X2. Also envy them in a certain way. For the same money, I would work in construction, framing or concrete; the satisfaction of building something, getting home at night and not have to be worried about office shit and customers...

Funny story..

This is how my career in constructions came to an abrupt halt..

I got hired to work manual labour in constructions by a private contractor who needed guys on a job site. At the time I was prepping for a bodybuilding show and stripping in the weekends. So we get to the site of an abandoned building that needed work. My first day. The guy hands me a sledge hammer to pound through the pavement in order to make room for a toilet I believe it was. I pounded for about an hour or two and I was spent. As a bodybuilder/stripper, I was well aware of the dangers of becoming catabolic, so I told the guy I am going to take 15 min to eat. He was like "What??" .. I'm like "Yeah dude, I eat every 2 hours", he looks at me dumbfounded as I start eating and tells me "You are fired". So I replied "Fuck you!" and left. I was happy that I managed to stay on schedule with my meals for that day though.

This was not my first rodeo. I got fired from another part time telemarketing night job for the same reason. Break should have come so I pull out the red meat and rice. The supervisor: "No break, get back to work!" .. I said: "Look, it's important for me to eat every two hours". He said I could eat whenever I had a break but not now. Unfortunately, his schedule and my nutrient timing were in obvious conflict so I started eating right there in front of him. He fired me, I said "Go fuck yourself!" and left happy that I did not allow that mofo to derail my bodybuilding career.

In 1999, I was admonished for being late to teach tennis lessons because I was struggling to make protein shakes with crappy powder and no shaker .. it was a mess in the locker, but I did what I had to do. The company that made them was sponsoring me with product so I thought this is for sure a sign that I have a future in bodybuilding.

In 2003 I was jacked and got a head tennis pro position with a country club. They could not understand how I was able to play tennis with all that muscle. But at that time, I was starting to shy away from playing tennis and started bulking. Between teaching privates, I was to be found at the buffet eating chicken mc nuggets, usually 20 each break. From that job I got fired because I was entertaining the kids by hitting tennis balls 300 yards onto the freeway. The kids were my biggest fans because I entertained them and they learned as well. The club president did not find it funny and fired me (old upscale country clubs can be uptight).

Yes Adonis, I respected the anabolic window and ate on the clock 

[Mr Nobody]

Decline.

[Danimal77]

pay 20 bucks an hour, doing brute construction work.

I make fuck all at my current job, however I'm trying to get into a union somewhere else. If I do this I loose out my chance for a cushy union job for about the same pay with less strain.

Which province are you in?

[Viking11]

halo dishing out good advice.

Shockingly yes. Good capsule summary!

[Viking11]

If you don't need the money, then find what you are passionate about and go do it!

If you don't need the money, then find what you are passionate about and go do it!

Good advice except one should find what they are passionate about and go for it whether they need the money or not.
