Well, i did some work today and well... the wrist is giving me some issues, not sure whats going on, ...but can tell right now its going to be several more weeks at least on that.
i still can pick up maybe 5 lbs and it hurts like sin, twisting is a no go, and clenching gives a burn sensation. fingers are all swole up, not sure why they were down but last week swelled and didnt go back down so....
monday and wednesday i got appointments with all the doctors to check out all the broken and banged up shit.
ill know wed whats going on with the wrist and pray it does not need resetting or anything awful like that.
with that.
im gonna hold off onany attempts to do coffee until after i speak to the doc on wednesday, i dont want to trash something worse than it already is by rushing, i already know arm / hand is going to take 12 weeks to get back to just, beginning to be like it was, don't need to push that back another 2 months.
i already have 'methods' in my evil little head how i can make this work even though i cant lift shit. (ill pack it in the back of the truck, that way i bring coffee there 5 lb at a time, spin the box to tape it and when it comes time to deliver, the guy at the ups point already said he'd be happy to help me unload so..) we will figure a way to get coffee moving again, just need to be slow, and see that i wont cause more damage first.
trust me, i want to get beans moving as much as you want them, i got about 20k of coffee laying arouind here i need to move, thats what helps pay the bills!!
why is it so damned hard to find decent help anymore. when i was a kid, you were grateful to have a job and worked hard, because you were happy to be working. now these miserable little shits act like they are doing you a favor just by showing up, want to play on the god damned phone all fkn day, and think they are worth 30 dollars an hour for the whole 10 or 15 minutes out of the hour they might actually do some work.
i actually timed it, and was offering 50 cents / lb to bag box and label up coffee. it's not hard work, take beans out of a big bag, put in little bags, put little bags in box, tape box shut, put label on box, move to shipping container. working at a steady pace, im not talking crazy breakneck speed, but actually working steady... you could make 30 to 40 dollars an hour!! but you ARE working the whole hour, baqging beans. but it seems most are allergic to manual labor anymore. its not hard work, the heaviest package weighs what 32 lbs, you might do what 3 or 5 at max an hour? its not complicated work, put bean in bag, put label in bag, zip bag shut, put bag in box, tape box shut... no real skill needed, a fkn chimpanzee could do it. the few times i did try letting someone bag for me, i even let them take the beans home with them, work on their own schedule. it was too much for them. too complicated, too much 'adulting' required asking some sorry ass Z to try to show some responsibility for a change. hopefully elon gets those optimus bots for sale and they dont cost 45k. that would be a perfect tool, simple job it could learn and handle all day and night w/o pissing off customers, no hr on speed dial, no coming in late, no hangover, etc etc. hell i could even teach it to yell at paco when he gets too loud
oh well... soon.
hopefully by the end of the week ill be able to get bagging but until i find out whats happening to my wrist, why its so sore and 'stabby' i cant chance it. keep fingers crossed.
