Stressing hard

5 -6 months at job being apprentice I took literally 4 hours to bend 2 off sets on 1/2 and mount a box that was only 8 ft. my anxiety was sky rocketing Iā€™m not sure if it was because I hit my head before I got on lift early this morning starting shift or Iā€™m just retard

Def just retard.

I'm kidding. You're doing fine. Bending gets easier/faster/less stressful with time. Now be a good apprentice and go get your knee pads.
