Job Transfers and the Concept of "Let Go - Let God" However...............

It has been my experience that things tend to fall into place the way they are suppose to and how they are suppose to AND I can get into a WHOLE lot of trouble when Self Will Run Riot becomes the mode.

When I went to Texas, I didn't find a Love Connection but I did find Wal-Mart and it has served me well. Since my track record on Love has not been very good. I am insecure but it's like SkyDiving. I learned to jump no matter how scared I was. Now I like to check and make sure the Parachute is good order. A Caution I would not have been concerned with in the past.

So I am transferring to the Charlottesville Areas to follow the Love Connection. I did the footwork but still project about the results although I know better.

There is a Wal-Mart Distribution Center just right up the road from where I will be living. There is a Sam's Club and a Wal_Mart in Charlottesville which is 27 miles. There is a Wal-Mart Super Center 33 Miles away in Culpepper.

Upon talking to the Folks at the Distribution Center, I was told that I would be required to lift 70 pounds or more constantly. Dang, are they looking to hire Hercules. I work in a Meat Market and I can sling those boxes around but most of them average about 45 pounds. The Heaviest ones are 55 pounds which can be a bit of a challenge to lift. Do they expect me to lift the brand new 150 pounds televisions without dropping them.

I can lift 700 pounds or more with a Pallet Jack or even a Forklift but Dah! Let Go Let God! If They offer me the job, Do I tell them OHSA says I don't have to Lift more that 60 pounds unassisted. Yeah Right.

Not if you want the job you don't at least not until you are gainfully employed there. Be sure you have one of those lifting belts they are supposed to supply to you! Back problems are no fun take it from me have been doing P T 2X a week for about a month now and exercises 3X a day about a dozen different strengthening exercises but am having almost constant pain! Take care of your back its the only one you have!
