i am fucking beat.

as i said a while back im a programmer but currently the market is in crisis and i got fire and remained unemployed for almost a year, so i went to work in the factory to at least not run out of money in difficult times we are facing.

i was never a athletic person, even as a kid when playing outside always had week constitution, run slow, tired easily, shit coordination and never got better.

i applied for a job in a shoe factory, and got put in storage and man, labor sucks major ass. it porly organized so a lot of work was overdue and the rhythm was frenetic, slowed by outdated software and so on.

anyway, perhaps this is the cue for me getting my shit together and study hard for public employment, less physically tiring and better pay.

    thanks for the tips, i will get the correct size shoes and some decent insoles, one day and my feet already hurt. i will see about protein at home, since the factory forbids the entrance of any liquid due to problems with workers drinking alcohol on shift, the least we can do is bring empty water bottles and fill with water inside the factory.

    as for hearing im comfortable since i don’t work close to machines. when picking up things i squat, so it doesn’t hurt my back

      I’m not pretending I know anything about working in a factory or a warehouse, but I have done quite a bit of walking recently, and you really feel much, much better if you wear additional pairs of socks especially if the shoes tend to rub against your ankles

        there was that one time in high schools that i used a small sock that didn’t cover the achilles tendom, it burned my skin from friction alone, after that i always make sure that my socks are high enough to cover all my feet.

        the problem in having with the boot is that it is a bigger size and it has a shitty insole so my feet wiggle inside and the sole is hard, so that makes my feet hurt like fuck, also i walk a lot during shift to grab materials and whatnot and there isn’t a place to sit nor time, i will put a distance calculator on my phone to see how much i walk daily.
