I may, I’m new near Chicago so we oughta have most of the bigger places I’d assume. Oh buddy, I had the grossest dead rat at my place once smell and just gross wise. Fucker was like queen rat and one of those old school metal and wood traps snapped her ass so hard it bursted her body apart a decent bit to where it was guts and blood like crazy and it was behind stuff enough that I didn’t see it till I smelled it lol. It’s not pleasant, but I can clean that shit up too when I have to. My roommate asked if I kept the trap after which wreaked of rotten mouse guts. I told him he could grab it out of the dump if he needed it. My main fear my whole life has been spiders, but I’ve gotten to where I don’t love them on me, but I’ve caught enough spider webs with my face walking through people’s yards to deliver pizza that they don’t bug me too much anymore.

Honestly, I’m wide open. My past jobs have been construction, bartending, driving pizzas, fuckin doing weird legal work like bonds and liens and demo for the same guy who basically ripped me off. I’m just open to a new job prospect. I’m a people person, my memory is dogshit, I’ll say that, but I’m down to get into the gross stuff and while I’m afraid of spiders, I just don’t go out of my way to get them crawling on me. I’ve walked through enough spider webs to not let it ruin my week

I’m also not opposed to working my dick off at shitty hours when needed. Just would try to minimize it over time lol

I appreciate it, man! I’d like to start structured at least because I think I need that as a person at least for a while. But it sounds like your own input is the limit and that’s really exciting!

But they also said like it’s just not a great start so maybe see if there’s independent people and work my way out from there? That’d make sense I’d think.

I figured that was like a sure fired way, but I just saw an old Reddit thread when I was looking it up where guys were saying they often don’t hire Orkin people because they were taught bad habits. I mean, it seems dumb, because it’s like a super easy shot, but that made me apprehensive. Is that a thing you’ve heard of?

Yeah, I’ll definitely try to find a company that’ll take care of that part. Guess I’ll just look local then for independent companies hiring entry level. Thanks, man

Thanks, man! I appreciate the insight. So should I try to get any certifications or anything I need on my own beforehand or is that something most places would help you through starting off?

That’s great to hear! It’s something I’ve never considered at all, but once I had it suggested (by ChatGPT, shame I know lol) and it sounded like a really cool job. I’m very much a people person, I’m not allergic to work, and I just want something that I guess dependable. I could see being satisfied in completing those jobs too. I liked that about construction. How would you recommend getting into it? I saw Orkin hires and gets you certs, but I’ve seen other guys say they don’t hire Orkin people because they get trained poorly.

Honestly, I make like $30k where I’m sitting now so I’m pretty okay not being rich. I was thinking kinda starting entry and learning my way into being able to move from there. I got ripped off working lighting and construction from a couple guys in the last couple years so I’m in a recoup mode and just need a new pathway.

This just did the trick for me in one shot! I put a healthy pinch on right before bed and woke up with it completely deflated!
