    Holy fuck dude. You are fucking mental.

    I’ve been broke and struggling my entire life. My parents fucked me over, my father gave all of our money (what little we had) to the church of scientology. I’ve worked retail, restaurants, run my own pc repair service, helped a few people build websites, delivered furniture, did outside sales and more than I want to go into here. My last “real” job was as a utility locate tech making $12.50/hr. Now I work for myself (again), yesterday I made $250+, today I’m at $90 8 hours in. Does that sound cushy to you?

    You have to stand up for yourself because no one else will. When I worked foodlion I literally wrote on the time off calendar that I wouldn’t be in the state and if they scheduled me that’s on them. And yes, they legally have to allow you to take off for health stuff. There is also fmla which they can’t deny.

    Seriously dude. Stop being a fucking victim and whining about how bad you have it. We all have our issues and personally I’ve been able to survive being out of work for over a year without being evicted or losing weight. I’ve had 2 sets of seizures that fucked my back up, the last one I also busted a shoulder. I’ve been hit by a car biking to work and more and I’m still around and not bitching about how much my life sucks (except venting to my wife when I need to). As I said up chain, you make shit happen when it needs to happen. Or you can sit back and bitch and whine like a toddler.

    You might consider spending less time on here and more time figuring shit out. It’s clear by how active you are on here that you are tantamount to a shut in. You can’t actually be working a job that let’s you spend all your time on here but doesn’t allow you to take time off for medical stuff.

    I’m done here and I’m going to block your whiny victim ass because I have to actually work and keep building my business so I can maybe, sometime in the future, not be worried about my day to day finances. Oh and I’m dealing with a headache just shy of a migraine that is probably related to the dilantin I was recently prescribed. So basically, you can fuck off with your (my life sucks worse than yours) bullshit.

      Lecturing me, then insulting me, not one single question about my situation. Just assumptions about my life and what I was able to do and not what I knew I would get fired for.

      I mean for fuck’s sake.

      Also, I just love that you see our broken healthcare system and think people who are unable to get the care they need are just whiny and need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
