I lost the job I was excited for

I was working out of a local car dealership, as a porter. As you may, or may not, expect, I really enjoyed the work, which was some pretty basic stuff. As a porter, I was expected to clean each vehicle, inside and out, and then move them to whomever was selling it. It all came to a stop when I started getting weird ailments as of my second month in. Light vomiting, dizziness, aches, etc. and a nice case of Covid hitting my girlfriend had me taking time off I didn’t want or need, but safety first. However my ailments kept coming back, and getting progressively better on some days, & progressively worse on others. I couldn’t tell what exactly could be the main culprit, as I skated past each brush with Covid, without so much as a positive test. I found out that the main culprit of my ailments…

However my ailments kept coming back, and getting progressively better on some days, & progressively worse on others. I couldn’t tell what exactly could be the main culprit, as I skated past each brush with Covid, without so much as a positive test. I found out that the main culprit of my ailments was possibly fluid buildup in my lungs from the heat, chemicals, lack of ventilation, lack of proper A/C, and my supervisor trying to make all of us work like machines. I had so much trouble breathing after that, and my days have fluctuated between good and worse, to the point of needing many days off. Yesterday, after having to take a three-day-weekend for health reasons, my job separated from me, but we left on a good note, no one party mad or upset with the other. I’m just kinda mad that my health has taken a massive back seat so I could keep working, or it felt like I was gonna end up hospitalized, because my supervisor didn’t care if I, or anyone else, collapsed from being overworked. On the bright side, I have an interview tomorrow for an easier job, with better pay. I just hope they can accommodate me and my current health issues.
