Whinge, Stress.

[Zoix]

Ok when you work 14-16 hr days all week, and people get up you because your not working flat out 100% of the time. This thing called stress appears and makes people unhappy. Such as I was today. I got to work at 9am, after my 10 hr break from my finish at 11pm last night, I get told I'm late because i didnt turn up 15 minutes beforehand to find out whats going on. Then I go onto work on this part of the yard called the "PAD" which is the most busiest jobs in the yard, where you unload and load trucks all day. Picking needles outta the hay stack would be easier, beacuse the boxes have to be in an order, so when you move 43 boxes out to get one, you have ot move them all back, and they have to be PERFECT. I have been doing this for 2.5 years now, and yes I have had close called to blowing my head off, but today seems like its the worst day of my life. mainly because i had to sdo this all day and do some other guys job, because he diecided to go on holidays.

come 1:50pm I finally get time to havbe a break and go get some food fromt eh BP just off the island. I FLY down to the BP going into the triple digits. I get my food and put the foot down, the car went sideways and the drivers side hit the gutter, now the mag is fine, but it looks like the u bolt/castor rod is bent, and the tyre is offset by 10 cm. This how ever pissed me off MORE, beacuse i only get 15 minutes for smoko and the foreman times me for my ****ing breaks, because he is a prick and has given me writtena nd verbal warnings many times.

I get back to work and tell him, and he has the nerve to tell me that I shouldnt drive like a phuckwit. If I had access to a firearm I think this guy would have been fertilizer. ****ing left work early because i dont give a ****. Sick of them kunts and I'm not in the mood for any Bull$hit.

I got wednesday off to get things fixed and I cant have thursday off because I have to do another double shift. So basically im ****ed. I'm going to see a few places tomorrow and get them to have a look at the damage.

Should get someone with a camera to take photos of my self inflicted Stress outburst.

**** this place.

shit bad luck greg.

i know all about wanker bosses luckily enough the one i hate has gone on holidays for 2 weeks

[Genesis®]

hopes that everything picks up well for you soon, greg.

miss having that purple beast around

[knore]

fark that sucks man

all i can say is we work to live, not live to work. Everyone has to do it unfortunately. I feel for you and others that have a harder job than most

All u can do it sit back at the end of the day in your skyline and relax, or take out your stress, although this can be expensive

get a boxing bag or start smoking weed

sit back and flick the :devfu:

... or something like that

I had the same kinda week last month... I feel it man...

[Zoix]

well I have to be drug free. on the odd ocassion we take speed just to stay awake, because it doesnt stay int he blood long enough. but i havent been tested for like 9 months now. they gone soft...

Ice breaks, coke, coffee, V's, Red bulls, and the BP sell these tablets that are non drowsy pills to help keep you awake. We live on them. Its ****ed. espicalley when everthing has to be done NOW!! nothing is ever planned.

[SmoothLine]

Sounds dangerious and also like you need a break.... you getting easter off greg???

[Zoix]

i gotta work double shift thursday, and last year i had to work easter. they even called me in on a saturday to work to do the bulk run(50+ boxes run in/out) by myself at 2:30pm till late.

i even put a RDO form in for ekka day, because i never been to one, and it was refused. I thought it was a public holiday...

they use my RDO's for sick days also. its a ****ing joke, and the union rep isnt doing much about it. I think he is in on something. the plae feels like its full of brown noses and **** suckers. I dont want to work there much longer and have been appling at a few places. Just waiting for a call so i can use up the month and a half of holidays i have, and **** off.

[ferni]

Good idea ... just apply for other jobs, anything sounds like it will be better than what you're at now.. as soon as you get a new job you can tell these guys what you think

[GTRgeoff]

Greg are your full time or part time?

Take a trip to the doc and tell him your story, he'll put you on workers comp stress leave so fast you won't believe it. Make a complaint to the industrial relations commission as well. Use the time off to find a new job.

No-one deserves your stress. I've been a manager for quite a while now, although in the defence/public service arena (uniformed myself) and take good care of my people and regularly do "health checks" to determine their wellbeing to ensure they don't overwork themselves or have others apply too much pressure. I had it done to me and was losing clumps of hair and blood pressure went through the roof. Our doc on base went sick at my boss and had me attend stress management training and regular checkups. I now couldn't give a f*** if people are disappionted in my performance as i ruptured 2 discs in a training accident with only 2 years to go for 20 year pension, and get put off work for 3 weeks at a time due to the pain awaiting surgery, which has only been for 7 months.

I'm not saying to con it. You are on the edge buddy....see the doc. You should still be paid while recuperating.

WOOOOOOOSAHHHHH Greg son WOOOOOOOOSAHHHHHHHH (Bad boys 2)

[Zoix]

i was put on full time the 2nd day i was there. been there too long i reckon, and for a 22 yr(as of last week) it seems they putting alot on me. especially when theres 8 other people work there and I'm not the youngest. I dont believe i do anything to make them do it on purpose and I have threaten them with haressment.

might see the doctor, last time it was for depression, and those pills were just ****ing with my head more.

like i know im not the only one with problems and I'm in no way bosting about it, I ****ing just had a really bad day yesturday and that just topped it off.

[Keegs]

hope things get better man, good luck!

[Zoix]

ok cost me about $500 to get it fixed(inlcuding the tow and taxis) so it hasnt been as bad as it seems. the front bar is in dire need of some fibre-glassing and I'll have it back tomorrow morning/ this afternoon.

so I'll just sit backa nd drink myself stupid now because i got all that shit outta the way, and if things at work keep going the way they are, im going on stress leave, and then quitting.

[32ANA]

sounds like u got it all figured out now! drink, stress leave, quit! perfect, go for that man. good luck.

[Spook's_Skyline]

that dont sound real flash zoixy

u do get paid big bucks though, theres gotta be a reason for that (long hours, stressful work)

im stoked that in my little IT world i suffer from zero stress

just my pay aint real flash

everything is a trade off

[Ska]

Just remember to breath man, and yeah see a doc about stress cause it can kill!

[knore]

I dont want to say quit your job greg, but honestly, no job is worth the stress and strain that your going through.

Im sure you could get a good job seeing the specialised field your working in now...

[crooser]

dont let this get worse before you do something about it mate.

Your health is #1

Sometimes a little break is all you need to see things for what they are. Take some leave owing and get away if possible. Speak to your GP - let them make the decision on your next move if that helps.
