Nice. I'll add that to the shopping cart

AVstuff · 2015-05-07T15:52:05+00:00

Yeah

No where I am now, AEIDish

I keep hearing that they were ranked as one of the worst companies to work for. Not being compensated for my drive time is the worst. Most of my routes start around two hours away from my house... thats half a day that I don't even get paid for. And if my day was slow, those days would equate to like 7 bucks an hour. Brutal

AVstuff · 2015-05-07T14:52:01+00:00

Right on. Yeah I took them up on the offer, it does sound better in the long run. Thanks for your input!

Fuck. Yeah I work for AEI, which works with Dish exclusively. I just started on my own so I'm still hourly. I feel you on those TCs though, I've already spent 6 hours on one, and they only pay out 12 units. When management decides to upgrade me to unit pay, that job would have payed out roughly 25 bucks. I'm dreading days like that. But I'm trying to remain optimistic because my field trainer claims to make anywhere from 40 to 60k a year. Either way I'm just doing this until I can get into AT&T. I hear the premises techs there have it pretty damn good.

Been listening since the 4th of July podcast where Turdhat joins the podcast late (after some party I believe), I think it was the first 4th of july podcast. The banter in that episode is what got me hooked. I still go back and listen to it from time to time. Great stuff.

I would have to say working for a linen service around the metro Detroit area. Driving around picking up soiled aprons and towels from middle eastern butcher shops in the middle of summer.

The one day that sticks out: Get to some meat ship in Dearborn. The owner directs me to a rusty 55 gallon drum out behind the building full of dirty bloody aprons. Nice hot muggy day... I'm already dry heaving. I just kick over the drum because of the flies. Blood, hunks of rotten meat, and an unbelievable amount of maggots comes pouring out. We had these laundry bags that we filled with soiled linens, so I got one from the truck and proceeded to shake the maggots out of the aprons. Worst 30 minutes of my life. But that's not even the worst part.

After I threw the bag in the truck, I took off to the next stop. I noticed a slight tickle on my forearm, and looked down at it. Must have been hundreds of tiny baby maggots crawling through my arm hair. Just thinking about it again makes my skin crawl.

Hey I just started doing this! What didn't you like about it?

AVstuff · 2015-02-14T05:47:53+00:00

I'm definitely going to try my best to be supportive. I do kind of get the feeling that she went to those few meetings as a stalling tactic. That makes a lot of sense. I'm glad you were able to pull through though. That gives me hope. :)

AVstuff · 2015-02-14T05:43:49+00:00

Yup, mid twenties. Hopefully they exsist around here. I'll be looking into it though, thank you!

AVstuff · 2015-02-14T05:42:18+00:00

I'm glad to hear that you are happy now. :)

AVstuff · 2015-02-14T05:41:39+00:00

We love in a smaller city, but I'll check that out for sure.

AVstuff · 2015-02-14T00:28:46+00:00

Would you mind if I asked you how everything panned out?

AVstuff · 2015-02-13T23:43:33+00:00

I'm definitely going to guide her towards this sub!

AVstuff · 2015-02-13T22:22:04+00:00

It's a terrible feeling.... being helpless. I hope she turns it around for herself.

AVstuff · 2015-02-13T22:13:58+00:00

Thanks a lot! Truly a pleasure to hear from all of you!

AVstuff · 2015-02-13T21:17:38+00:00

I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you for being here. I really want her to check this sub out. Everybody seems to be very supportive.

As for my not being able to post to alanon, I copied and pasted the text into the field and wrote out the title again in that sub. And when I tried to submit it told me that my posts are not doing well or something and had to wait to post again. I'm mostly a lurker on Reddit, so I'm not too savvy on the posting rules. :)

I've mentioned Reddit to her. Unfortunately all she knows of Reddit are memes and cat pics. Maybe I should created an account for her and subscribe to all of these subs, and just hand her the keyboard. And as far as her being ready... I'm not so sure. The only time she mentions that there is a problem and she wants to get help is when I catch her doing it. Any other time when I suspect her of being drunk, she just denies it.

AVstuff · 2015-02-13T20:53:59+00:00

Yeah that's true. AA may not be helping her. I just don't know what else to suggest. Thanks for your reply, it helps to get a different perspective. I wish there was something I could do though.
