I am not, by nature, easy to work with. I'm a perfectionist who procrastinates and overdesigns. I do not 'muck in with the lads'. I am, except under carefully managed allotments of medication, blood sugar and sleep, not a "good person," although I try to be. (Hell, some days I'm barely a 'person' at all.)
My job involves running three physically separated, complex and real-time-attention-needing machines with moving parts. (...)

@Momentrabbit I also have to manage keeping inventory stocked. I also have to manage and prioritize my own workload. I do not have a desk, a computer, or an email: my manager prefers to yell verbal directions and assume I'll grok context.
I *do* have an assistant, of sorts. I'm training him to do what I do for the soon-to-be-implemented Late Shift.
There are two problems.

@Momentrabbit Problem one is that there is no training program for what I do, or how the company works. I am a Generalist with Delusions of Technicianism.
Problem two is that I don't speak Farsi; he can read English, but spoken comprehension is poor. And it's a loud shop. And orders are constantly changing.
I'm a bit tired. Been here since 4:30 this am to try to get a headstart on work. Already been politely told I'm an idiot by my boss twice.

@Momentrabbit I guess the point of this whole ramble is that being real is hard.
Oh well. 37 more years to go.
