I'm a female in a trade, been there 3 years now.
I started there when things got tough for me, I dropped out of college, and moved away from my mum.
Anyway. When I started there, it was a awesome! The quality of work was good, and it was busy. Heaps has changed in the 3 years. We're so quiet, and no one around me seems to care about their work.
It makes it so hard for me to take any pride in what I do. It frustrates the hell out of me.
I am the refinisher. The final process. The people before me, are the ones who determine how good my job can look. And with their half arsed effort, how do I complete the level of work which I want to achieve.

Today at work, I got so angry with the people around me. So so angry. I just felt like crying or screaming. But I can't make a scene. So I bottle it in.
I thought this year, it will be different.
I'll leave all their crap attitudes in the last year, and move on to a better year. Oke where I will do my best to get the best out of them that I can.
But already I am failing.
How is it, that the apprentice, I, am the only one who cares about the work.

Somedays, I just wish I had someone I could share all this with. Someone who would care, and who would listen.
But I know, even if I did have someone, I wouldn't have the guts to talk to them :/
