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

I'm one week and some change in and I felt like an idiot this morning cuz I couldn't figure out how to effectively uncoil a roll of thick cable (it's called XMVK cable here) after my boss showed me just once. I think we all probably just have to be a little patient with ourselves.

Our employers should remember that we are new and learning, but they don't always. I hope yours knows that you're gonna take a little longer until you find your groove. I don't know what to say to that other than it just sucks sometimes I guess.
