I hate my life right now

[BigWaveDave]

Only because the guy training me is a tool.
Started my new career a month ago, first month was going well...
Now I’m onto more advanced training on what is gonna be my route, and the old fart showing me how to do things is about to get smacked.
Can’t drive worth a damn, texting, can’t follow GPS, and complaining about everything...
Good news is it’s only for another month, bad news is, it’s the first day.... not sure if I’m gonna make it out alive....

Why work? Just live off of your wife!

Best revenge? Get a promotion. Become his supervisor. Stay strong. I went from supervisor to trainee. It is a hard pill to swallow. To go from man with the answers to trainee with questions. Switching careers is very tough. Stick with it. Make it worthwhile.

Look down the road Dave and soon you'll be fine...

Get that detector out too!

 

[Megalodon]

If you are on the road, you'll have opportunities to scout out new places to hunt. My objection to GPS is there is no program to select best route for metal detecting.

They can tell you what to do but they can't tell you what to think. Good luck with the tool. How did they overpopulate anyway?

Fun,Fun,Fun. Livin the dream.

Let him do his thing.
Remember to smile sometimes. Like it or not , he might be asked how you're doing.
Take the positives and dump the negatives of his methods when you are free of him , and you'll gain.

Only a month. You could do that standing on your head. Because you are looking at your short term future , and also at the reason you are working....

Life is like a movie. You are the director, and the main character from your point of view is most likely than his movie that he directs and he is his main character.

Well I got through the day....excruciating.
Good news is I got 3 days off, so by Tuesday I hope he’s in a better mood.

Keep a positive attitude and no mind to the "old" fool! In a few months you will be his boss...life is funny that way!

Good Luck with the rest of your sentence with Mr. Negative!

It will be over soon. Think f him as a mild stomach virus, it will go away.

 

[trdking]

You are probably his replacement

 

[Trezurehunter]

Hang in there Dave, retirement is just around the corner.

 

[Joe-Dirt]

Dave, this is an easy one. Take the miserable *******o out metal detecting and then that’s all he’ll talk about...........like us

When I was young I had to work occasional Saturdays 6 am to 2 PM with my direct boss. It was so slow on Saturdays We learned how to forward the phone to our cell and went yard saleing Yard sale with the boss once a month

 

[sandchip]

I wish you well, Dave.

Two things have gotten me through such things.

Put yourself beyond it. 30 days of this? Think about Day 31 and what you will be doing.

What would you trade to make it be not so? Is it worth losing an eye? An arm? A finger? Breaking an arm? Getting a beesting?

I've only ever walked away from one job with no-place to go. That was 72 to 80 hour weeks on an exempt salary based on 40 hours when our company spilt off from a larger company that owned us. After two months (and a traffic accident at midnight on a Saturday coming home from work when I was hit by a drunk 18 year old who ran a stop sign) I told my boss either we hire another person or I'm gone. He didn't. I went.

Worked out . . . but it was scary to have no place to be for a time.

Statistics aside.... I’m an adult who is employed by a Fortune 500 company, and was simply sharing my frustration about working with a knucklehead.
I posted this in general discussion, because it is just that....
If ya wanna get all political and stupid, become a Charter Member and spout off about All y’alls hardons for guns and violence.

The last time I had to suffer through training an old man told me to meet the trainer with a cup of coffee and a question about the training every morning. It makes the trainer feel better when you are interested in his opinion. Or the coffee throws them off guard.
