Welcome to the Wednesday Whinge. A chance for us all get anything off our chest, no matter how small.

It’s cathartic!

What’s made you blow your top this week?

Then they pass you to someone else who asks the same questions... Reminds me of the latest episode of It's Always Sunny haha.

I seem to carry stress in my lower back. I've had to start doing exercises in the evening to stretch it out.

Not once, but thrice this week I was accused of doing a dodgy repair, only to find the true cause of the failure was not only NOT the repair I'd done but the next weakest link in the machine, probably because I've repaired the previous one.

I've been with the company for about 12 months now, I didn't sign on to maintenance, it's not in my contract, but it is in my contract to maintain production so it's just patch it up and keep the machines going. I have only the handful of tools I've personally brought in, I have no spares, no equipment and no budget to fund proper repairs or tooling. With that in mind, by my previous standards, the repairs are dodgy but they're far better than what's previously been done. The machines are in such a state of disrepair that I'm often just patching the patches... I honestly don't know how a company the size of the one I work for thinks that operating like this is ok.
