I'm actually a master automotive technician, and in this industry there is an immense amount of turn over. Working in this industry there are a lot of guys who like to get wasted all the time and I do not like to partake in that behavior anymore. Therefor I am almost always outcasted because I do not like to partake in this lude behavior. I do have a degree in automotive maintenance technology, but its proving very hard to adapt to any shop environment because I seem to always butt heads with people. I do not have patience for ignorance while working in a shop, I work on vehicles that you drive, I work on vehicles that your children ride in. I do not have tolerance for lack luster behavior because your safety is in my hands. Nor can I stand around and watch two dip shits(excuse my language) screw around while changing the brakes on your vehicle. I have seen so many come backs because of immature behavior over the years, that I strive for perfection and ultimately demand perfection in the shops I work for. This also gets me into trouble, because when the techs do not listen to me, I will go to a supervisor, when the supervisor does nothing, I get angry and it almost always ends up in me getting fired, or I get stepped on by management so badly that it forces me to pack up my things and move. Yes, I do have anger issues, I am not afraid of confrontation, especially when it comes to the general publics safety. I am so anxious anymore, because I can already see the inevitable. Growing up so abruptly changed my mentality in a dramatic way. I see the world and the people in it in a completely different way. Death has changed my mental state, it made me a way more cautious person, but ultimately, it seems to be affecting my personal relationships because I cannot stand around idle while friends make bad choices. It affects my work ability in the sense that I do not want to see your family get hurt because some Cletus wasn't paying enough attention and left a wheel loose on your vehicle. I actually strive for perfection, but I get disciplined for it, more that I get commended for it.
