I agree Jay sometimes th rules have to be bent a little. When I had a crew I had to change the pay day from Thursday to Friday because it seemed that a few of them ended up sick on Friday am. One of my guys his wife deposited his check at a credit union that was inside of her work. I used to slip him his check on Thursday so thatshe could deposit them on Friday and not hers on Fri and his on Monday.

He is a master automotive tech.

The problem is no work out there...

The place I worked has hired master techs for about $20 an hour...hourly

Well...I got the news I was half dreading to hear...

because I had used up all my extended leave ( FMLA ) prior to this, company policy is termination of employment when unable to work.

So as they were taking me from work in the ambulance they were filling out the forms and I am now unemployed...

I have to reapply for short term disability payments again...

this should be fun...I have seen so many doctors in the last week!
That sucks man. I hope you get up and running with a new employer soon!

Sorry to hear about that Mark. Did you really like where you worked? Or perhaps is this maybe a chance to find a different place to work you might like better....

Yes Lisa, I think it was an excellent place to work and I had many good coworkers.

I think I am going to look into getting 100% fit before I go back to work...

The cardiologist at the hospital asked me a lot of questions about my stenosis and maybe now would be the right time to get it fixed...I have a good cardiolgist now, but I dont think he is aggressive enough.

I am also checking out opthamologists because my eyes have not returned to normal after the hyperbaric chamber treatments.

I just got home from the chiropractor...a week in the hospital bed has really messed up my back. A few more visits in the next 7-10 days should help.

I remember when I got my knee done, I had to lay around for just about a whole week with hardly moving, and it sucked! It was just not fun and I was sore as hell afterwards.

Getting back to 100% won't be too bad of a plan Mark.
