I currently work in Alberta's energy sector as an industrial and mechanical insulator.  I work for a small company that I am pretty comfortable with and have signed on for two years with them provided they commit to providing me with my schooling for my trade.

 

I'm currently going through alot of changes in my life and I think I am taking positive steps towards reaching where I want to be.  I have started to work out regularly and eat healthier meals.  I am working on fixing my credit situation.  I have too many creditors and a spendthrift lifestyle.  I am working at being a happier person in general and my accomplishments in my other focus areas are greatly contributing to that.

all questions»

I am having job satisfaction issues at work.  Hoping for some comments, insight or similar stories.

 

With my current job I would say overall I am pretty happy.  I like the person I work with everyday, I like the type of work I am given, I like my salary, and I love the education commitments my boss has agreed to with me.  But every time I fill out my stars in the personal assessment tool in the work performance section I second guess myself and get frustrated.  I really really want to give myself more stars in this section.

 

My coworker(s) often produce more "finished" product then I do.  I rationalize to myself that it takes a certain amount of time to do things properly and you can definitely see a huge gap in the quality of work between my work and theirs.  I always tell myself that I will refuse to go faster and deliver a crappy product but it really grinds my gears when they comment about me being behind them in "finished" product.  I dont want to blow up and berate them for a poor job because its not my style or job to do so.  I dont know how to effectively get across to them I dont appreciate their comments but I don't want to just take it anymore either.

 

I also have issues with my schedule.  I was completing the excuses exercise yesterday and the most apparent excuse I have is that I work too much and Im too tired to do "x".  I have had one day off since October 10th.  I work a 12 hour day normally and recently I have put in up to 18 hours in a day.  Alot contributing to this is that my boss seems completely incapable of scheduling and is taking on more work regardless of the fact that we still havent completed many jobs due to poor planning, weather issues, material delays, errors etc etc.  I also will take responsibility for some of this because I have allowed myself to stop caring as much and fall into traps my coworkers are in.  I feel defeated and dont step up to help provide answers or confront the issue with my boss because I feel as if my coworkers judge me based on my age rather then my abilities, knowledge and experience in my field.

 

Any comments are appreciated.  I know I didnt really outright ask questions but I think its understandable what Im hoping to know.  If not please ask me to clarify and Ill get back at ya!

What is your answer?

I joined TOOLS because:
 I want to be content in all aspects of my life. Because Jason Ellis uses and attests to Tool's ability to help you make changes in your life.
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:
 To be the executive Chef in a fancy restaurant.
My favorite wild animal is:
 Lion
Why (describe as much as possible):
 Because lion's are a family oriented animal. They are respected and feared for their amazing physical abilities. They have order within their family units that is enforced by hard taught lessons.
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 Chocolate Lab.
Why:
 Crazy amounts of energy and always seem to be happy. A smart dog that I feel is an amazing companion due to their ability to greatly tune into your emotions and provide you with what you need at that time.
A famous Chef will prepare anything you want. What do you order:
 His favorite dish.
Why:
 It would be the most amazing food because it was their favorite dish and they would put their passion and love and knowledge into making it the best possible meal they could. I also like to see what makes other people passionate and how they show their passion.
Five people either dead or alive you would have at your fantasy dinner party::
 Chef Gordon Ramsay, Jason Ellis, Gerard Butler, John Lennon, my father.
Why:
 I greatly respect Chef Ramsay for his passion in cooking and his unwavering devotion to it. He will not let anything but the best be served and will make sure you know it. I share these views and food is also my passion. Jason Ellis would probably be the most entertaining dinner guest of all time. His wit and style of humor are not only hilarious but provocative and persuasive to his point of view and I share many common view points. Gerard Butler is in my opinion a great actor and I have enjoyed all of his movies regardless of their genre. He seems like a really well rounded guy for being able to play in gladiator type movies to romantic comedy. Seems like a mans man someone you'd love to share a beer with. John Lennon for his view on the world. I heard Imagine for the first time when I was very young and still to this day I make sure I have it on my Ipod, computer CD's etc. My Father because he is my hero. If I'm ever half the man I think he is I will die content.
If a pilot would fly you anywhere you want, you would go to:
 Tokyo
My perfect slice of pizza is:
 Pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, salami, black olive
You are at a bar. You order this drink:
 Bottle of beer
You are at a coffee shop. What coffee or tea do you order:
 Venti Matte Latte with vanilla bean flavor
If a genie could grant you three wishes they would be (separate by commas):
 unending cash flow, long healthy life, a cure to all our most deadly diseases and sicknesses.
You are going on a long road trip and you can only bring three CD's. Which ones do you bring (separate by commas):
 AC/DC back in black, Eminem Curtain Call, The best of Queen.
If I could do anything for my neighborhood today, it would be:
 Drop off a nice meal at every house.
Any character I could be from a movie, TV show or book would be:
 King Leonidas from the movie 300.
Why:
 Revered, respected and loved by his men, he lead them to a dying battle because he knew it was the right thing to do. He died for honor, justice and freedom.
