So in late May, I came down with a severe case of pouchitis that's finally cleared up a couple days ago (thank goodness)
But during the end of May I decided to put in my 2 Weeks Notice at work. A family member noticed is was pretty destructive on my life and helped convince me it wasn't worth all the stress and possible health problems.
-My Job-
Before I get started on this rant, I loved my job (building things). I enjoyed the 5am-2pm work routine, I loved the people I worked with. What I didn't enjoy was the poor help from HR, Co-Managers and Store Manager.
So this was my first job. I worked for Wal-Mart as a full time Assembler, basically I was suppose to build bikes, grills, and different kinds of furniture as well as small odd jobs. Instead my managers took advantage of me and manipulated me. I became their handy man, or as my managers nick-named me "Bob The Builder" Anything from electrical work, plumbing, lock-smithing, carpentry and pretty much full on building maintenance/repairs.
All of which pretty much violated OSHA laws etc.. etc.. The only thing they actually trained me on was the heavy duty machines. Even then they took all the shortcuts possible.
I have so many stories. But I'll keep them to myself for right now.
Anywho, it got to the point where I was under so much stress that I started snapping. Often my mom would come visit and have lunch with me and I'd just vent. My father was excited I was working, I was being an adult, living I suppose. But it came to the point that it wasn't worth it anymore. So I had put in my 2 weeks. I managed to work the first week but I ended up having to call out due to the amount of pain I was in and many runs to the bathroom I was making. I went in one day to just try and end on a good note, but after using the bathroom, I passed a lot of blood. Doctor (old GI) wanted me to immediately go to the ER for tests and to get help.
That was my last day.
Really sucks, wish I could have made it worked somehow. But I'm trying to move on and get back up on my feet now.
My question is
What are some careers good for people with jpouches? I'd like to think there's no limit but there's still a lot it seems you need a healthy body for. Thinking about going back and finishing up college but I'd like to be able to work at the same time.
Sorry if this is a tad confusing. Just trying to get a bit off my chest because a lot of this has been bothering me.
