Me am Idiot Magnet-2

So, I am working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Good money....BUT,
today my young foreman is not in the work area and not answering his radio for over an hour. Trying to keep production going, I locate scaffold builders for work platform, talk n schedule with the crane to lift my pipe into aerial location, drag the pipe to where the crane can access it, talking back n forth to coordinate it all.
AS the crane is rotating to pick up the pipe and the rigger is walking towards the pipe with the lifting straps in his hands.........The General Foreman comes over and says to me,"Kevin the pipe superintendent has seen you talking to people for the last 20 minutes and told me to fire you for non-production."
My gears go into hyper-survival mode and I say,"do you see the crane rotating to pick up the pipe and the rigger walking over to perform the lift"? I have been talking to these people to get the job done and had to wait till just now for it to happen.
The General Foreman blinks and says," ok, if you are ready to get the job done, go ahead and keep working". My now higher functioning brain screams....HELL, NO.
These Clowns will continually find yet another reason to "take your job". ~^~
I tell The General Foreman.....No, I have had enough of this circus and you would find something tomorrow. So, I quit! Get a truck over here so I can get my tool box out and go find a decent job where a highly<b> skilled </font></b>craftsman is needed and appreciated.
I am gone.
Jeez........where do all these Idiot Clowns come from and how do they find ME????
