I am a cynical jackass with delusions of grandeur who views life in a fairly realistic and most often fatalistic manner.
I count my Christian faith to be one of the more important things in my life, and I hold onto it with everything I've got. All too often, however, I'll defend my faith in a manner that is too zealot-like to swallow.
I consider myself a writer of the same calibre as Government Warning Label auditors, but I'm striving to get better -- MUCH better.

Well, bugger...
7 months ago
Two days before Labor Day 2023.
My Shift Lead calls me into the office just before end of my routine 12hr overnight shift. NATURALLY, if I am the one gettin' called into the Office, S**T has hit the fan and I am in a Jurassic Park 1-sized pile of it, so I assume I am going to get fired.
Boyo, was I ever mistaken. (Thank Christ -- and I MEAN that!)
Dave, our Head of Maintenance, asks me if I am still interested in becoming a Technician. I was so taken by surprise, I couldn't speak for a good ten seconds. When I finally stammered out that, YES, yes I was, he reached over his cluttered desk and shook my hand. "Congratulations, Tyger, you start training on Dayshift next Wednesday. Close out this weekend as a Drawframe Operator, then come to work ready to be a Carding Machine Tech."
I was on Cloud 30 the whole of September (vehicle problems not included) as I was FINALLY in a position I am inclined to. The Techs all thought I was doing well, fitting in; I thought I was just screwing around and up 90% of the time...
Then I get called into the Office again on Tuesday, Oct 9th, 2023.
I'm told the bosses have "safety concerns" due to my Asperger's and short fuse. I'm back to Drawframe Operations.
I went home end of shift, and got drunk as a form of pouting like a child.
