Happy at work?

[M4nimal]

Who of you are seriously happy or seriously unhappy at work?

I tend to go through stages, like a week every 1 month or so, where work is just pure misery.
This is one of those weeks, I'd rather be hung upside down by my ball hairs than go through this.
No matter what I do or say, something will go wrong.

My boss is a complete wanker - I think I'm gonna give up this job to become a hitman.

I'm seriously concidering resigning

 

[Xtro]

If its making you that unhappy is there any feasible way you could indeed just quit and go travelling or something? If there is - DO IT, you won't regret it.

My work is...varied.

 

[dysfunction]

I'm bored at work.

Although this week I have been busy so have not noticed the boredom as much.

[Furr]

I too am bloody bored , am actually looking for a new job at the moment

 

[Testin da Cable]

my work has it's ups and downs. sometimes it's good fun and sometimes it sucks. such is life (at least in IT).

 

[Lester]

I get decent money for doing fuck all but I want to be a spy like xtro. Is it too late? I have a tux and an arsenal of witty comebacks. But i don't like pain

Since you asked I'm quite pissed off wih my job these days. Well, let me put that another way. The job's a piece of piss at the mo cos nothing's going on, sort of "the calm before the storm". I know what work's around the corner and I'm not looking forward to it. On top of that, as some may know, I've got a 2.5 hours journey each way to work. Yes 5 hours a day spent commuting and yes it sucks BAAAAAAD.

I've been looking around at other jobs. I'm quite keen on working with disabled people (maybe I should get a job at BW? ) and have been trying to find a job in my local area teaching IT skills to mentally/physically disabled people. Anyone know of stuff like this in the Kent area?

 

[S-Gray]

heh i had the worst day ever at work yesterday... was baaaad.

1) Painkillers i bought had absolutly no effect on the pain in my leg (i'll tell you more tomorrow afternoon), even tho the tablets where the strongest you could buy over the counter (Ibruprofen).

2) While i was working inside a freezer (stocking up) someone fuckin closed the lid on my head <- I hit the friggin corner of it, the hard bit :/

3) While i was stacking lots of cans on a shelf, they all... fell... and created a domino effect, apart from shitting me up it scared a few other people...

4) Look at 3) ... it happened again

5) When i opened a case of drinks, i noticed some of the cans where busted, when i looked closer they all spilled down my pants, what an embarrassing situation

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Things I put on a shelf fell down so that makes work shit.

Lol.

but Kenny...5hrs commute = 5hrs extra sleep!!


but I know how you feel though. I was doing 3,5+ hrs to amsterdam for 4 years, and that was pretty shite even though I slept through most of it

Ever tried sleeping on a Connex train?

Practically impossible. I suppos you could say I "doze" but I'm never really properlly asleep cos of the draughts through the doors on my leg, the fact I'm pinned against the wall cos Connex decided to put strips on a bench-seat obviously made for two and make it look like 3 people can actually fit on it. Then there's the lack of head rests, the heat either on full blast (which does honestly make some people feint) or they don't have it on at all and it's like sitting in a freezer. I'm glad to actually get off the train cos it's warmer outside!

Commuting sucks.

As with most people, my job has its ups and downs. The summers working at a University are very slow, mainly due to the lack of students around to break my PCs. This summer is the one where we renew our leasing contract on 350 PCs, so lots of box shifting and image creating for me.

Tbh I'd love to write for a living. Short stories, journalism, anything that lets me write and improve my writing is good. Getting paid for it would be great.

 

[Testin da Cable]

write in the slow periods mate. you know you want to
I did lots of short stories during long quiet nightshifts. fun, sharpens skillz and helps you pass the time, oh, and the later it gets the more wacky they tend to become

 

[Wij]

I'd like to be a professional shitter for the rich and famous.

J-Lo: "Jean-Pierre, hold my coat, Lucille, do my eyebrows, Leonard, make insulting gestures at non-famous people, Wij, have a shit for me."

Wij: "Way ahead of you..."

 

[xane]

Wij has sound career aspirations, I hear the promotional prospects are interesting, particularly when you move onto other bodily functions.

 

[xane]

Of course, it's not without a downside.

J-Lo's Boyfriend: "hey baby, lets try something different tonight ?"

J-Lo: "Wij !"

 

[Xtro]

Actually in ancient Egypt, when Rameses II was buried his sarcophagus was smeared with the excrement of virgins in order to appease Set. Tests to reproduce this in Chingford, Essex, have not been going too well for obvious reasons.

You sure that wasn't Rameses Niblick the 3rd Kerplunk Kerplunk Whoops Where's My Thribble.

 

[Xtro]

Now you are being silly




there was only one Kerplunk in his name.

 

[whipped]

Nope definatly two

Lister: Computer senility? It's such... such a wierd condition.

Kryten: I know. I had a mechanoid friend once, who suffered from the same affliction. His name was Gilbert, but he preferred it if people called him "Ramises Niblick the Third, Kerplunk-Kerplunk, Whoops! Where's my thribble?". A sad case.
