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.

@zx3 @Momentrabbit This has been my experience for most of my life, and it's terrible, and you especially don't deserve it. It's sometimes all we can do to try to leave things a little nicer than we found them, fighting against the creeping sands. That nobody has left you that support or given you the chance to leave it for others is a shame, and I want to say now that I see you and I wish you had a better situation.
