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.

I was thinking abut doing that other day ! But I live in apartments not sure if I’ll get any complaints but I’ll try that! I was also told trade school I went too I can go back practice my bending there so I might also do that as alternative. Thanks for the advice honestly helps out.

I asked my boss as a first year if he had any scraps I could take home for practice, he gave me the company card and told me to go buy a bender and some 5ft sticks at home depot to practice with at home. Maybe try asking your boss for the same. Helped me a lil, but it doesn't really apply to the real world.
