Take This Job And Shove It...

This job is a blight on both my life and my soul.

Today was excruciatingly terrible.

See, one of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm made to feel like I'm an idiot when I'm quite the opposite.

Here's the deal.
when I was trained, I got a shot gun training. Every day I was swamped with information but the truck load. Now, I'm a smart guy, I used all my skills to retain every procedure. All with out notes (I wasn't given time to write them).

the problem with this job, is that you needed months, even years, of experience to handle the situations that arise. When someone asks "does this part look good" I need to have an answer. If I pull the parts and I'm wrong I can cost the company thousands of dollars, if I'm wrong and I let them through that means that those thousands of parts will wind up in the hands of the customer. If they kick it back, it's going to cost even more.

In spite of the questions I have to check the measurements of the parts to make sure they're all within specification. This alone is a 9 hour job, but every half hour someone brings in parts that need checked as ISI (Initial Setup Inspection). Well... The bitch of the ISIs is that until I do them the engineers, the operators, the technicians, and god him (or her) self sits and waits for me to run these programs. Why? Because no one wants to produce 10,000 parts that are all trash.
it took me six hours to run the program because I wasn't moving fast enough, I have no idea how to calculate what this cost the company or what it will cost me.

I'm just so tired of it, the worst part is I can't get away from it. I get to work at 6:30 am, I work till 3:30 pm, I go home and I'm so exhausted that the next 3 hours blink by. After that, I spend my time dreading the fact that I have to force my self to sleep at 9 so I can wake up for work.

I'm so down over this job that I feel like just vomiting up my soul. I haven't had a good day of work since I started. Today was an excellent example of this. My day was so bad that I came home crawled into bed and slept for nearly 4 hours...

When I got up I realized something, FUCK THIS JOB!
I've taken on too much responibility for this job.

1. My training sucked (I hate when people treat you like crap because you don't already know what they know.)
2. My coworkers treat me like crap (condenseding over tones)
3. This is just a job, not my career (what career?)
4. If I get fired:
(A) I can get a better job (because what could be worse?)
(B) I'd rather be on unemployment (then I could blog, hehehe)
5. I don't need this job to remind me that I'm a failure (I have enough self loathing to fill that position)

So my new position on the job goes as follows:
I will work to do as much of my job as I can, because honestly, it's not worth it to care any more.
