The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver

By Savy - This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff - United States - Phoenix

Today, I have a better relationship with the machinery I've given names to at work than my actual coworkers. FML

It may be because you're the weirdo in the office who names the machinery...

It's because machines only have to do their job.

That's all humans really need to do to survive, as well.

Last week, I ate out in Flagstaff and my server was named Savy. I even asked her about her name. What are the odds she is the same one as the OP?

Abbie, is that you? (NCIS reference BTW) not a bad thing at all. not even knowing where you work i can sympathise that co-workers can be some of the most frustrating people on the planet.

TAHTS probably because of the fact that you made friends with the devices in your office....

I am an electronic engineer. I have known other engineers in my career who were far more comfortable dealing with machines than people - Especially the messy parts like dating… I have read that engineers and accountants sometimes go into the field they do because they are more comfortable with machines or numbers or computers than people. I acknowledge that is a part of my personality, but human interactions like love and family are ultimately more rewarding. “You have to put yourself out there” as they say while at the same time taking reasonable care to not go overboard.
