Yupp. Sure damn did. Isn't it lovely?! Yeah, I think so too. Let's just say that; the issues that I already have with my stomach, twirling around on a machine that drives hella fast while going up 40 to 50 ft. high (at the same damn time) was not good for my head. That's called motion sickness folks. Before my walk-out, I went to HR to tell them I cannot perform my job because I got sick three times in a row while working three days. My very first day, I got sick as well but I was able to make it through the whole ten hours. It was rough for me. But honestly, I feel quite pathetic. (sigh) I just couldn't help it. I gave it a try, I tried to keep going to give myself more time to adjust to my new schedule AND to accept and make peace with my new life, and my body just couldn't hang.
You guys don't know how shitty I feel about it. I keep thinking about it, and I'm trying to get over the fact that I actually walked away from another thing. That's not what I wanted to do. I know on The Why Run?! Podcast, I've said countless times that I'm a quitter, I never have regrets about quitting, and I have no problem quitting and walking away. But this time feels different somehow. Maybe it was because, I thought working heavy machinery would be right up my alley like it always HAS been. I couldn't believe how sick I got. I've worked forklifts before in the past and have never had any issues. When I would sit in the break room, I wondered what the hell was wrong. And the only conclusion I came up with was, I'm not young anymore.
Am I reaching?! I'm unsure. I could blame my age, or my health. At this point, both of them is a go. For the past few years, I had to accept the fact that my health isn't as tip-top as it used to be. Yes, I'm twenty-seven talking like I'm eighty. Shit, might as well be with all the complications I have just waking up in the morning. I'm sore, stiff, tired, sick, confused, and all the things. Shouldn't it be more like cart wheeling out of the bed, slipping on my shoes?! Instead, I'm struggling and trying to keep my balance once I step foot on the floor, to not being able to lift my foot onto my knee to slip on my socks?!
Okay so, now I'm sitting here sad. Thanks a lot (laughs). ANYHOW!! I feel bad about walking away but, being sick as I'm trying to do my job is not worth it. I tried asking for: a leave of absence, an accommodation, to relocate to a different facility, ect., but all that requires a lot of unpaid time off. At the end of all day, I asked myself 'What's the point?!' If that's a poor attitude to have, I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I made the choice to not wait and leave even though they wanted to work with me. But at the same time, they didn't even give a shit about the doctors note I had when I had surgery on my left foot. So, am I allowed to say we both fucked up?! I can take part of the blame; being a quitter and all (smiles). Now that we're in three paragraphs now of me being a child over-telling and overly-explaining why I left. Let me move on.
So, what's next?! Nothing... (laughs). I guess, the same things I was doing before. Going back to painting, creating, getting back to the family business of hand-painting The Hopi Kachina Ornaments + Deliveries, ect. All the ideas I had before when it came to furniture making, paintings; I still have yet to put into motion. I hope you all will be up for seeing it. Sometime today or tomorrow, I will be cutting cardboard on the picture frame mat cutter and do some paintings on there. I was unable to do it a few entries back but, I feel confident do proceed with them now.
When it comes to podcasting, I'm organizing to take The Why Run?! Podcast on a different route. The Re-up Podcast is still going to remain the same because I've pretty much nestled deliveries in with that one so, that's going to stay where it's at. I still need to get on with The ExMeOut Podcast but, I'm still unsure about that one as far as topics go. I have another podcast series under The Re-up Podcast called "Kickin' It Outside Detention." It is of me going through my adventures of getting my GED. I called it Kickin' It Outside Detention. As a teenager, I got a lot of answers wrong, and when I get a lot of answers wrong, they make you stay after school with detention students. And every time I had to stay after school, I was always kickin' it with all my other friends outside detention (smiles). Man,, good times-good times (laughs).
(smile) Alright well, let me get off of here and do something with myself. I'm still sleepy and tired from the days that I had to sleep during the day so I could be up all night working in the warehouse. I'm trying to get back to my normal days. I luv u all, and thank you so much for reading my content. Also, thank you for your continued support, and I can't wait for you all to see what I got going on next. Talk with you all again soon. Peace. ♥Audie
