Walmart would be the very last choice I would consider. Both of my children worked in restaurants and bars, made a ton of money and friends. My niece is a manager at a small coffee shop and started two years ago with no experience.
 
One other thing: I would share the narrative above with no one. The employee who gets the job is happy and outgoing and will fit in, even if you must fake it.

Thanks for the responses everyone!
 
I am going to be focusing on my health first and foremost. I will no longer be sitting in a car for 12-17 hours a day, everyday, ever again. My priority is to lower my blood pressure and lose weight. At the moment I can't afford an emergency room trip, and can barely afford and Urgent Care visit so I will immediately focus on my diet and make sure I walk everyday and see if it has an effect. When I went to have a physical 3 months ago, the doctor told me that my blood pressure was around 150 (I forgot the diastolic level) and that I needed to lower it. Rather than facing a doctor again I went to a pharmacy and used one of their do it yourself blood pressure cuffs. Apparently they may not be accurate and may have read my pressure a little higher than it is. I do remember thinking it was a little tight to fit around my arm. I'll make sure I use my first paycheck to go to and get looked at.
 
The interview at Walmart went smoothly and I got hired. I know for most, Walmart isn't the best place to work, but I am excited. I am a little worried about the pains my body will go through at first, yet, I know that it will be for the better. They hired me for stocking dairy products, so I will not have to deal with customers much since I'll be in the background rather than out front. I am a bit nervous since this is my first job with a big company like this, hopefully that will go away soon.
 
I don't plan to get personal with anyone I may work with. I've had enough drama to last me several lifetimes and so like YoungAD has stated, I will get the job done while exuding happiness. Thanks for the good wishes and support.

Corn did not exist in Ancient Greece.

Is suicide really funny enough to need four emoticons?

Another bit of trivia: on average, you post over thirty times a day.

Is this a real post or a parody of something Avalon might write?

Your opinion regarding the appropriateness of this topic is exactly that, your opinion. Having one does not make it fact.
 
And you could have just as easily followed your own advice and addressed your concerns to the OP via private message instead of schooling them openly.

He lasted 24 hours there before he realized it was full of enemies he had made here. Karma. And he went in talking about approving of snitching on escorts on Grindr and posters here. Chutzpah.
 
I have zero sympathy. Without knowing anything of my ethnic or racial makeup he called me an anti-Semite and a racist hundreds of times here for criticizing Israel (even in threads having nothing to do with Israel) and un-American for criticizing capitalism and being a democratic socialist. Oh, also a traitor for complaining that our sidewalks are so dirty and filled with homeless that it stops Europeans from wanting to come visit. Not just in comments but he would often open threads with my name in them to pick fights. Infantile.
 
It's one thing to have a grouchy old Jewish uncle at Thanksgiving you have to deal with once a year. It's totally different to have, as we described him, a neighbor's whelping little Chihuahua biting your heels for hours a day every day while you're trying to get stuff done. The humour fades fast.

You are strange. Your posts are strange, your obsession with and claims of insider knowledge of escorts is strange, and your incessant need to be quoted is strange.
 
But I quoted you, so there.

There are hate crimes occurring in America on a daily or almost-daily basis. It is my belief we should address our own issues before castigating others. But then again I understand Avalon has to post something.

While it is his decision and right to engage in whatever behaviors he chooses, it is important to realize this man is still alive and able to post his enlightenment only because of the collected efforts of thousands of people worldwide and billions of dollars. He's had a little help.

So when are you planning this get-together, Mocha?

That’s a nice sentiment, Lance. But I’ll have to respectfully disagree. It was totally irresponsible to indiscriminately bareback once the cause of HIV and the mode of transmission was discovered. These people put themselves and all of us at risk. It’s much like the story of Typhoid Mary. She wouldn’t stop cooking even after being told she shouldn’t. She also wouldn’t wash her hands.
 
From Wikipedia:
 
Mallon was the first asymptomatic typhoid carrier to be identified by medical science, and there was no policy providing guidelines for handling the situation. Some difficulties surrounding her case stemmed from Mallon's vehement denial of her possible role, as she refused to acknowledge any connection between her working as a cook and the typhoid cases. Mallon maintained that she was perfectly healthy, had never had typhoid fever, and could not be the source. Public-health authorities determined that permanent quarantine was the only way to prevent Mallon from causing significant future typhoid outbreaks.

Even now while PrEP may prevent most HIV infections, there’s increasingly drug resistant gonorrhea. There’s also the risk of syphilis and other STD’s. While I’m not saying the good of society should always (if you’ll pardon the expression) trump the will of the individual. On the other hand when public health/safety is at stake, there has to be more to life than our own individual desires.
