I had a guy tell me I needed to relax, I was getting all worked up over these minor issues and it would be better if I just went with the flow and found a way to just show up and do some work and not be bothered by wanting everything to be perfect.

I told him that my solution that involved just being able to relax and not be bothered was to quit and find a new job where I wouldn’t have to fight these battles for things to be set up semi sensibly. He became alarmed and told me that hadn’t been what he meant. Eventually I did do exactly that, and the new job I found was quite a bit better in practically every respect.
