Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I feel like a Zombie from the new med(Neurontin),But I can get around without being in pain. I almost feel normal. My boss called me today, as I've said before I haven't worked as a furnature finisher in 2 years but I stay in contact with my boss and coworker I had worked with them for almost 20 years. Anyway, he asked me if I felt up to doing some light work, mostly sanding. He is in a bind and doesn't have time to train someone new. As I have said before I'm broke, and he is going to pay me $100 a day. I told him I'm going to have to take alot of breaks and change from sitting to standing and so on. He says he's going to set me up with a cushioned chair and 2 work benches one high for standing and one low for sitting. I know this is gonna be hard on my body but, this is the first time in a long time I feel like I am useful. I told him I would be there on Mon. but I couldn't promise I can make it through the first day let alone 3 (which is how long he needs me for. So say a prayer and cross your fingers for me to make it through this because $300 right now would make an enormous difference. God bless and keep you all , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
