Did you add a third testicle?

I work with a guy who has blood leaking into the joints of his hips. He’s in agony. He can’t afford surgery and wobbles around work everyday carrying big bags of flour and breading around. He’s been there for years so he asked if he could do less physical stuff like inventory. Nope. Carry these 50 lbs bags around all day or lose your job. It’s like that all over. I mean, he’s exhausted, can’t sleep from the pain, trying to remain in recovery from opioid addiction, has been loyal to the company for years and they show more kindness to the machinery. I am NOT being hyperbolic. It is like that.

Somehow, most people who run businesses are monsters. Give the man a lighter job. Sheesh.

Restaurant workers need to unionize.

Big time. It's kinda crazy if they haven't. They're getting screwed over hard.

4 years ago I went to the ER after a bad accident and got a few stitches. I had a $1200 bill that I never paid and it had gone to collections a long time ago. It's now down to $185. Once in a while I'll get an automated message from the collection agency and I just hang up, but I'll be settling that debt as soon as the holidays are over since it's the only blemish on my credit.

My bad advice for today: If you don't care about your credit, wait a little while and they'll take what ever they can get.

I've never had any other than that time. I refused to go, but a friend made me since there was blood gushing out of my forehead. Would have been an even more gnarly scar than it is too. Dammit.

Yep. The surgery I just had wasn’t cheap, even with good insurance.
