Right now I sit on my behind and let other people pay my social security but I drove truck most of my life. I did put 5 years in a steal casting plant back in the late 70s then I worked 17 years at Wayne Feeds in Ft Wayne where I learned to drive truck and delivered feed. Bulk and bag. They closed in 95 and I found a job at Holland where i drove truck delivering and picking up freightand worked dock for 22 years befor retireing.
I have never been afraid of work, i can lay down beside it and go to sleep. Haha

I did a ton of different kinds of work early in life. Warehouse worker, tow-motor operator, hod carrier, flexographic printing plate maker, ALLL kinds of things. When I was 30, got a job making pharmaceuticals and did that for 30 years. When I "retired", I delivered auto parts for a short time, then went from hospital valet to patient screener when Covid-19 hit. I`m very tired of screening angry patients, and so looking for whatever I`ll move on to next.
