Title: what type of jobs do clusterheads keep
Post by outofcommission on May 24^th, 2006, 10:47pm

i am curious. what type of a job can you do while you are being stabbed in the face. i used to lay tile and carpet in large commercial buildings and malls. the job was very physical. sometimes i would travel and a 20 hour drive was involved. some guys were understanding and others were not. i have worked on 2 man or 3 man crews, other times there might be 10 guys to work with. or i might work by myself. when i worked with a smaller crew they were crippled when a ch would come. i had 2 other coworkers with me in birchrun michigan one time and i scared them to death. they inisted that i get my own motel room, and my boss was pissed because he had to pay for it. a few months later i got fired. when i worked by myself there was less pressure and it seemed that the chs were not as intence. i have lost a couple of jobs due to this condition. i am currently working as a mechanic at a dealership and i haven't had a ch for a few years now. my hats of to you cronic sufferers who can keep a job without going nucking futs. my hats off to anyone who has chs and still press on. well anyway i would just like to know what types of jobs you do, and thank you for your time. also keep up the good work!

Two big triggers for me are long drives and going from extreme heat to extreme cold and back again. So what job did i have ?

Driving truck for a frozen food company.

Every day and night was hell but I never missed a day and only left for a better opportunity.

That was many moons ago but I have never left a job due to CH. You adapt and manage.
