I've been working for the same place for a little over a year now, before that I worked as a cable installer for nearly 4 years. And before that I was in the Marines.
I've maintained service thru the national guard so I can reap some benefits and not pay a million dollars for health insurance. But I'm so depressed.
I hit a low again today at work. I work full time nights and go to school during the days full time. With natty guard sprinkled in here and there it doesn't give me any free time and im still barely making it financially.
I hit my breaking point today because my boss is a raging asshole and always sets me up for failure. He never gives me a scope of work or sets clear expectations. I got to a job where I was replacing a ceiling tile grid (the the kind in office buildings) and I didn't have the right materials. Boss ordered the wrong color of tile and size. Not to mention the previous grid was installed so close to the actual ceiling that it messed with the ventilation system and their security systems wires.
The ceiling came crashing down after I removed half the tiles because it turns out that the bars weren't anchored and the weight of the tiles was holding everything together. I just packed up and walked off job with two hours left of shift. I lied and told my boss that I thought I had food poisoning. (He works days so I sent him an email) and the coworker that im with is really chill. He's an older guy and said “fuck dude. I'll cover for you. I'll get the mess cleaned up but I ain't installing the new ceiling” I thanked him and left.
I don't know if I have the strength to go back in tonight. But I'm drowning in bills. What do I do??
