    E-mail. Lolol. Whoever says to E-mail is giving horrible advice. A job is a personal duty. When you're trying to get a job, you try to be as personal as you can be. You use actual meetings. You use actual voice conversations. It's easy to sit back and type up an E-mail, but the employer can tell much more about you from a phone call. It shows more interest when you go voice to voice instead of impersonal contact.

    Yes, Killer. You should be calling them. If I were you, I'd call back as soon as you're able after the surgery. I honestly wouldn't have mentioned having a surgery as that could hinder your chances. It would'nt be polite to go into details about your surgery and, for all he knows, you're going into surgery for something that might cause you to miss work time. He's not going to need that. Later, QD.

    the surgery was slight... he knew this as of my second interview with the company.. he asked when i could start.. i told him basically immediately.. but as of the 8th i'm having minor sinus surgery and will need 3-4 days recovery time. after that i'd be fine...

    i'm highly considering a call back to let him know "hey, i'm in perfect shape to start work"... matter of fact i'm back at work today..

    i messaged the owner of the company... (the guy that got me the interview to begin with) and basically asked him if i should call/text/email his DM to let them know i could start whenever.

    i do want to let him know i'm very eager to get this job.. without pushing buttons.. but at the same time.. i kindly need to know for myself so i can start looking into other options.. luckily i'll get paid at teh end of this month.. and if all else fails can move into muh parents house for a month if i have to and will have enough to live on for that month.. BUT i really want to avoid "moving"more than one time.. and i dont' want to stay with my parents at all..
