Cobber,
I relate. I get fed up w the unfair, preferred treatment I feel some foks seem to get in life.
I always try to take responsibility for my problems though. That way I have a chance to fix them.
I have been doing the same job for 22 years. You would think it would earn me respect from my boss. Nope. He treats new guys better than me.
I hate it. But, I have to remember I was a drunk for 90% of the time I knew him. I was disrespectful and inconsistent. Even though our relationship is better and I do better work, the rebuild probably is impossible.
I made my own bed.
Coming up with a reason that I can control, whether it is correct or not, solves the issue in my head....so I can at least sleep.
Sleeping makes a big difference in my perception.
Hope this helps in some way.
Thanks.
