Rusty old Bronco for safety image

Introspection can be a bastard. Knowing where your feelings come from can be hard to deal with, but it also helps me from having panic attacks at work.

The boss, who I’ve discussed before, is in a mood today. In addition to that, I made a mistake at work and ordered the wrong color for a car. The dealer rep and I discussed factory match, so that’s what I ordered. Customer requested a color that doesn’t come in that car, and so it became an issue.

When he heard of that he got angry. Knowing it was my mistake that caused the issue sent waves of panic through me. I’m not OK right now. I’m about to go outside and pop a clonazepam to calm me down.

The reason I feel so much anxiety about this guy is because I grew up with an alcoholic father who would fly off the handle at any little thing. I see the same behaviors from the boss but without the shouting and hitting. I also see his lip shaking and eyes twitching whenever something goes wrong so I wind up finding myself in the scared-child mode again despite the fact that I’m bigger and stronger, and likely faster than him. I wouldn’t have made it at this job this long without the operations manager and his easygoing buffer between us.

Good thing I’m gone in a month...

Deep breaths brother. Shit happens, and everyone makes mistakes.

Look on the bright side too. When the misordered vehicle arrives it'll be RARE and you'll know what you have.

this may be a bit much, but the rusty bronco seems to be a good metaphor. While rusty and beat, it is strong and powers on... perhaps knowing that one day it will get renewed and shown the appreciation it deserves?

Stick it out, in a year’s time you’ll look back and this will all feel like a short time in your life.

I can understand, my boss has a Extreme temper and anger issue, but growing up my dad also has a very nasty temper....

So whenever my boss looses his temper I've learnt to just fire back, it shocked him the first time, and now I get left alone ;p
