New job=20

Old job=69

I would also have been the first to admit I was burned out. Since leaving it, I'm also one of the first to stand up for those who do the same job. Even though I do get the evil eye for it from lazy managers.

31, figured as much. I'm in a position to determine my path for the most part and that helps with stress. Unless I srew up things go pretty smoothly, and if I'm the one that screws up I have no one to blame but myself and I can deal with that.

This test does not account for the fact that I am lazy.

I was going to post a link to that thread, but the SG search results for "bullsh|t" were too numerous

33 - But I got the worst knuckle head placed on my shift cause he's pissed off everyone on the other 3 shifts so bad. I guess you really gotta screw up hard to get fired these days.
