i want a new job, this one has turned to shit in the course of a couple of weeks.
everything is a rush, everything needs to be done now. and it sucks. a lack of planning, or a lack of doing shit corectly does not constitute an emergency on my part.
fuck, all i want to do is go to work, fix cars, and go home.. and somewhere along the way, go to school, get more training, and move up in my field. is that so much to ask?
but instead i work at a shop with an antisocial alcoholic, wortless asshole of a shop foreman. i get passed over for chances to go to the training classes, even though i was there first.instead, i work on used cars, of which i have a stack of about 10 to look at, but each car takes a few hours, because they all need work. and i have to wait in parts, wait for the service advisor, wait for the used car manager, and wait in parts again.
it seems like im the only one on a schedule, that wants to get shit done fast. im making decent money, and at this rate i should make around 45-50k this year, but still wont be doing anything more than brakes on p.o.s used cars. i mean, money is good and all, but it isnt everything, and id rather make shit, just cover my expenses, and have a sense of accomplishment and feel like im more than some asshole that fixes used kias.
you cant shine a turd, and you cant make a kia any less of a piece of shit. no matter how many hours i spend on it.
also, today i went to work on a chevy metro, but a black widow spider was using the car as its nest, and it was covered in webs, and eg sacks. so i had to remove the spider, and i refused to work on the car until the spiders were cleaned out. and people were acting like this was an unreasonable request. are you fucking serious?
