Been dishing for two years and I’m the best the company has got so they’ve made exceptions for me to stay year round instead of seasonal. Getting fed up with management there after I got hit with overuse injuries and tendonitis in my shoulder and wrist, so i found a new gig but it seems like the same if not more strain. Starting to get chronic pain in my feet as well. I’m only 26 and somehow I don’t really smoke or drink much. I’m only 5’3 and the new gig has two dishwashers (one normal and one glassware) that I have to bend down to load up, and aside from kitchen prep and service dishes, I’m supposed to handle all the glasses from bar service. First shift there was nuts. I couldn’t even reach most places I had to put away clean dishes. With all my health problems seeming to get worse I somehow can’t decide if I should get into the new job or just quit before I even get a foothold, or get saddled with new chronic pains from bending and lifting all night…
Just a guy who didn’t realize he would start washing dishes for a living…
