Math

Let's add this up:

Work + pain + wife in chronic pain while children run over her = something just short of Hell.

Let me describe my current work situation: I spent my first day getting up at 6:00am am to get to work by 7:00am, wherein I was given an anti-static smock (which I was prepared for), led to the warehouse, and immdiately encouraged to lift heavy boxes and count things until my eyes burned out. I did this until about 3:30, when I began to run errands for the family, which were necessary. I came home just after 5:00 to collapse in something my wife calls "the ball of pain (and whimpering)", only to find that my wife was on the verge of a nervous breakdown owing to the children running roughshod all over her today. Not only that, but she could hardly move, a state that I shared with her.

I specifically told the temp agency not to give me heavy lifting work, and yet here I am... I need the income, but I'm not sure I can stay at a job that requires this of me.

Le Sigh.
