If you don't make mistakes on occasion your not doing anything, and if your not doing anything then your for sure not learning anything. Don't feel bad about a $12 cross, I screwed up a $400 air cleaner this morning. The air cleaner housing sticks out about 4 inches past the back of the machine......right where that darned tree could jump out and hit it......I'm 36 and have been mechanic'n all my life and fortunately this isabout the worst, not to mention most expensive screwup I've ever had. Funny thing it had to be something so stupid and simple yet at the same time so darned expensive......
I walked out on an outfit once when upper managment gave those of us that were lead/maintenance men on each shift "managment authority". They then turned around and told the rest of the men that they didn't have to listen to us, we were "just the maintenance men". Let something happen when the men didn't do what we told them though and it came down on our a-- To them "Managment authority" meant we were the scapegoats for everything, nothing more. I waited til one Sunday when the plant was falling down around their ears, with something broke in every section of the line because the guys hadn't listened and I got my revenge. I did try to make things right, for at least the 100th time, by calling the plant supervisor to resolve the "not listening situation" and he once again blew off the whole situation. That was the final straw. They had me so mad I was shaking and I decided it just wasn't worth it so I loaded my stuff, told them in explicit terms what they could do with their job, and walked out the door. That was one of the most satisfying things I've ever done.....I had no job lined up when I left Sunday morning but I interviewed on Tuesday and started at a new place on Thursday..That was 9 years ago and I've been happy ever since. If your not happy with what your doing it just isn't worth it no matter what......
