After some searching for a higher paying job (the one I'm currently at just isn't paying well enough to keep up with the all the bills), a stroke of luck resulted in someone recommending to me a specific place that was hiring...and at a substantial amount of pay too. So I decided to check it out, apply, and to my surprise I got the job offer! It's a distribution center with me working as a picker while driving a forklift. I fully expect this to be challenging work, but I already know that my current position will be immediately filled once my two-weeks at my current job finishes. So basically, this is sink or swim. I HAVE to succeed in this new job. What's nice is it's only four days a week, albeit at 10 hours per day. So I'll never have to work more than two days at a time, which is awesome. Of course, I also need to keep my body in good working order, because I'm already battling a worn knee and a hearing disorder. This means wearing compression sleeves on my knees and specialized earplugs in my ears.

Anyway, wish me luck on this because I'm 46 now and I really need to pick a career and settle firmly into it until I retire in a little under 20 years from now. Gotta save up for retirement...after I pay off a lot of debt I'm currently under. DX
