DMX, your job sounds pretty cool, a lot like the kinds of jobs I used to work. Now that I'm in the big leagues, and I have to support myself, if I fail here, my whole future could be in trouble.
It's just been a few mistakes here and there. On the whole, I've done most things right, but when you're an engineer, they expect perfection, and they expect you to read all of the government specifications and follow all of the contradictory rules. I'm not in trouble with the president so much as I'm in trouble with the general manager. She didn't like me from the beginning because I listen to rock music and because I have will power, whereas she listens to light rock and she can't stop herself from eating lots of bad food. She's also annoyingly optimistic about shipments when she knows better, and she blames me for things beyond my control. She's two-faced (I've eavesdropped on her phone conversations), and she wears entirely too much makeup. She's like a lump of crap covered in perfume.
