Yup, after all that time, I had one at work. We just had a mechanic fix a machine, and I saw that part of the installation (a glass tube in a metal hanging system, how handy(!)) was still shonky. Being the techhead I am, I decided to try and tighten some of the screws. One of them was halfway broken, and when I gave it a twist, it broke. The wrench made its way into the glass tubing, breaking it, and rendering the machine useless, again. I wouldn't be annoyed if it were the first time this happened, but it seems everytime I even TOUCH that bitch, it breaks again. Went outside for some air (not that that helps, I went from an un-airconditioned office to the open scorching sun), and bam, broke down.
Add to that another idiotic decision made by the new manager, and I am another step closer to completely burning out. Although this time, I got a warning from one of my friends over there, that if things wouldn't change, things are going to break. This statement has more impact in Dutch. He meant me. Apparently I now look like so much hell, people are starting to warn me. This in fact partially pleases me, since I now know it's not just between my ears and I'm not making mountains out of molehills and the such, but on the other hand, this does position me dangerously close to the edge. So close in fact, that I'm actually starting to get worried...
I chose the wrong profession, I should've never gone for chemistry in the first place. And if I want to change it now, I'm going to have to waste another 4 years of my life.
