Mental Health Issues

[mutley racers]

I understand where you're coming from feller. I also think about some jobs too much and end up worrying about them and don't get any sleep over it. I think mine is to do with my past though. Too many sweeties of kinds when younger and it has made me paranoid as hell.

I always do the best job I can and double check I have done everything right but my mind tells me otherwise. The other day I had a voicemail and someone had actually called be by mistake. I could not hear what they were saying but it sounded like 'let's just get him to change the valve and see from there'. It was 7 minutes long and that's all I could hear. The rest was not clear. I thought it was Gas Safe setting me up for a secret inspection as maybe I had done some thing wrong. Although I go over all checks twice if not more. I listened to that message 7 times and to my dismay accidently deleted. So I tried calling the number and no one would answer. I was panicking all night and my wife was going nuts as I couldn't talk to her or concentrate on anything else.

And to be honest, I still am freaked out about it.

I sympathise with anyone brave enough to admit it, I know a few of my mates who, lets say, could do with a counsilling session or two
I don't think I'm the full shilling either as it happens, but I get by
If things start to rile me, I'll take the dogs up over the mountain for a few hrs or go to the pub for a couple of pints
Those 3/4 pints with your mates can make the world of difference, see things in a different light (don't get bladdered though)
My youngest daughter was very ill when she was about 18months, in intensive care and given a 50/50 chance (she has the heart of a lion now and is fine) If I start to feel hard done by, that thought brings me back on track
Not much help to anyone else I know, but does me

In one sense I'm glad I'm not alone but it's not something in glad about you guys suffering as well.

So I did the job today, I was given 3 hours to do this and it took me all day :/ weird as I was actually pretty calm apart from when I first got there and the custard is asking me straight away how I'm gonna run the pipework - nearly had a melt down in front of her. Here's some pics:

I need to start working on being quicker with pipework.

 

[jonnyswamp]

Did your boss tell you to run it like that

Yeah.. ??

I wouldn't worry about how long it takes you to do a job, I find if I'm doing pipe work it takes a lot longer to get it all in nice and neat, compared to just banging it in under a floor

As for the run if it was me, I would of came out the wall where you did up the back of the soil pipe along the wall round the corner over the window and drop down

I thought that also but was told to do it low level and the route I did it

Nothing wrong with the way you did it and you where told to do it that way, but from a damage point of view if its up high its not going to get knocked or bashed

You're right. Man gonna be up all night worrying about it :/ I'm sure I didn't take his direction wrong because I called him before I ran it to double check that's what he wanted and discussed the job with him after and said again how I ran it. Man already panicking about it now

There's nothing to worry about, that run is perfectly fine, yes some fellas might of ran it different but most would of done the same as you have, plus its outside if it ever did become damaged which would be fairly difficult to do its vented very well
