Additional notes and clarifications.

I'm not actually working in the warehouse. It was a one-day thing that they needed help with; maybe with some stuff here and there in the future. I'm a full time college student. My normal job is working in a retail store and learning to DJ for an entertainment company. DJing is fairly cool but the retail job is starting to get irritating.

That job yesterday beat me up hardcore. I slept til close to noon today and my fingers hurt like hell when I bend them.

As for QOL, my father, even tho he's a "white collar" sales exec, would often times come out and help out on the dock, partly because he wants to make sure the freight gets properly managed, because if the customer isn't happy it's his @$$ and his commission. He would do it with some frequency when me and my sister were yonger, and when he got home he would only have the energy to sit in front of the TV. As for when he was home , it would have to do with when the cargo needed to be handled. For example, yesterday we left the house around 11am, and got back after midnight. If I was a father with small kids, they would have been in school when I left and asleep when I got home. I remember that very clearly from my childhood. My father was "home every night" but I would sometimes go a day or 2 without seeeing him.

I'm not in a hurry to fly and I know I'll have some sort of "normal" job after college. I'm still on the fence about airline flying, and even if I had no airline aspirations, I would still be flight training. No matter where life takes me I want to hold at least comm/CFI, mainly for Civil Air Patrol.
