Good luck finding something you enjoy doing, Chronos. I'm really happy that you were able to transition and move up like you did!
I know a lot of us in this industry would like to escape it, but it always brings us back for different reasons. I really, truly enjoy the work! ...I just don't always like the politics and the way the work treats us. For the majority of the time, the job isn't difficult and anyone could do it, but for all of the times something breaks and the world spins into a catastrophe, the stress is all-consuming. It'll get better on this side, I'm sure. It has just been one of those days/weeks/quarters/years. Everything, EVERYTHING is being treated like it is the end of the world. Learning that any disuption is not going to lead to people losing their lives has taken quite a bit of effort when upper management tries to get problems fixed faster with threats of job loss.
Um, yeah. That makes everyone work harder.
The lack of respect people have for janitors is appalling! I really feel for the poor crew in this building -- they're treated pretty badly. The language barrier makes them looked down upon even more, sometimes sub-human, which is so depressing. They're people and damn hard workers at that.
Um, yes, that is my .45, THM.
