Only went through orientation. I had an chronic health concern with over active bladder when around pollution. The orientation was finished and went stupendous. Then after a night of not sleeping and walking back and forth to the bathroom I needed to drive and couldn't because the smell of truck particulates were making my urine extremely uncomfortable. So, I had to park and run away from the job. i was in fear of everyone's safety if I drive. I asked for an office position and could not hold my urine long enough to find the office went back to a relatives home to isolate until it felt better. Then tried to get disability and could not. So found a job doing very light work until told I will need to find my own place to live and jobs that are light will not pay for that. The shelter was full.
