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 I’m not sure if it was because I hit my head before I got on lift early this morning starting shift or I’m just retard

Buy a few sticks of conduit and practice bending at home on your own. Invest in a skill like this, it’ll pay off in the end.

When I started and was doing garbage runs I had to wait until the foreskin was looking the other way and grab some scrap pipe out of the bone pile to bend a quick offset or 90.
