Alright, so I was anticipating a new job which I was excited for throughout this week. Now I find out from a buddy that got me in that i'm going to be working with the ONE guy that everybody absolutely hates at the jobsite. Apprently he's the kind of guy that has been bragging about how many times he's been in jail.
Now I don't know whether i'm ****ing crazy to be honest, or something else. Job starts tomorrow and I have to go out and be there at 7AM tomorrow to go through paper work, contracts, etc before I get started. I have to be honest with you guys though, now I just don't know, to be honest with you though, I was told that i'd be working with this one other guy who seems decently close to the way I am, and he's another programmer as well, but the day before I start, now i'm being told something completely different, and as though the person who referred me to the job was saying that he's been telling me that I would have been working with this other (hated) guy the whole time, when I know for a fact that this was not what I was told.
Never even met the guy but from who i've talked to, this guy is no Santa Claus.
All I can say is, tomorrow, I know i'm in for a ride, and if this guy gets on my nerves i'm not the kind of guy that will tolerate it. I can't see this being any fun though, and I have no idea what to expect now. Trying to wonder if i'm insane though, or whether I should just back out now.
Worst thing is, the guy who teamed me up with this person actually used to be a good friend of my dad's. But he's got insecurity issues...
And if I was to add onto the negatives here, apprently this guy i'm supposed to be working with found out that they were looking for a guy, he knew that somebody was coming in (me) and phoned his friend on the spot to try and see if he wanted a job for some reason to get him in there, and people at the site who knew me basically straightforwardly said to him "You ****ing idiot, we have a guy coming in, and you don't even go to the head boss before trying to get this person you're trying to phone a job here?"
Now i'm starting to think that before I even get to know this guy there's going to be tension between me and him right off the bat before I even get to show who I am as a person.
Absolutely great the messes I get myself into. I'm beating myself in the head right now trying to figure out what to do but I don't know. I have a potentially good opportunity here if I went through with this from a career standpoint, but this one obstacle puts a knot into everything.
