work part 1

I know this is going to sound so bad. There are so many terrible personalities where I work. Seriously, I don't know how we manage to make a profit and continue production. I am in maintenance, I am also a woman, who has a technical job, notwithstanding all that goes with being a female toting tools (I'll talk about this issue some other time), but my current boss, I'll call him the crane is such a windbag braggert, the whole crew despises him, me included. Worse yet he is a city councilman in the tiny little town I reside and contines to not only crap up my work life, but my home life as well. The crane hates his boss who is a yellow belly spineless bobblehead, who everyone calls Don Knott because he is useless. So yesterday a machine went down and I was called to fix. I found a faulty part and called all over hell and hades to get a replacement in. I put the request in the system before I left for home. Meanwhile the crane gets an angry beligerent phone message from Don Knott about how come that machine isn't running and more disparging words about technicians. Well, Don Knott has to approve purchases and the request was already on his desk when he made the phone call so the crane got a little fun out of pointing that out.
