[QUOTE="Lil, post: 635631, member: 17309"] Not sure why I keep posting over and over, I guess just to vent. He worked his skinny butt off today. His job was stacking big boxes of books on pallets. It was actually kind of funny last night, he was going on about how his best friend (not really any more...but his oldest friend for sure) who works there, told the manager he wanted to work with him, and got him stuck on the worst job in the warehouse and now he was going to have to do this awful job and it was his friends fault. I finally said, "What exactly did J do to get you on this job? Maybe he just wanted to work with you. How did this happen?" His response was, "J asked if I wanted to work with him [B]and I said yes[/B]. So he told the manager and now I have to." Typical...all his friend's fault, when he was asked and said yes. Picture the eye roll. He's SO sore. His back, legs and arms are killing him. I gave him some ibuprofen and told him to take a hot shower. I also told him the car rule and that we will not be his excuse for losing the job. If he screws up, he loses it. His dad may sell it. I will get up and drive him to work. I also told him if he quits or gets fired, he'll have one week to find another job, or we'll kick his butt out. Now we aren't unreasonable. If he's hitting the pavement and really looking, we might give him a bit more time...but he'll have to show us more than he ever has before. This did not make him happy... Anyway, he still seems willing to give counseling a try. I got on line and the phone today at work and found one that takes out EAP and insurance. Called her, gave her the low-down and got an appointment. (I had to because of the EAP.) He has to call her back. He isn't doing it tonight. He says he's too tired and just really doesn't want to deal. It's okay, he can do it tomorrow. He has to do it himself though, she wants to talk to him before his appointment, which is next Monday. It's hard to find counselors with night hours! Still keeping my fingers crossed he'll click with her. It's impossible to tell of course and we can try others. We'll see I guess. [/QUOTE]
