[throdgrain]

[old.charliealpha]

Boo, I'm here till 4. It not that bad I spose, got the whole of the office connection to my disposal. I'm literally here to tell peons that they're muppets cos they cant use outlook.

easy life.

oh and I can get stoned.

 

[throdgrain]

lucky yooo! i got a succession of ppl telling me theres something wrong with their motorbike or this motorbike is too expensive or the trade in value is too low or...o fucking hell whatever lol

 

[Will]

Well, I finish at 4.30. I've got people moaning because their TV isn't working, and I have to tell them to press the standby button, or to pay their bill, and stuff like that.
I hate working Saturdays.

 

[throdgrain]

if im honest saturdays are my main day of work,i been doing it for a good 10 years.i dont mind when im selling bikes (making money ) or having a laugh with the punters,what gets me down is when its empty ,i wait for like an hour for someone to come in,then they say "i got a 1976 honda c90 and i want £1000 as a trade in " or whatever. <extreme example hehe

 

[Will]

Well, I spend my weekdays running reports and writing training courses, but on Saturday I just have to answer the phones.

Luckily I don't work many Saturdays, though I just did two in a row.

 

[throdgrain]

bar maybe 3 or 4 a year ive done every one for the last decade.oh my fucking god...

 

[Will]

That is depressing I suppose, but it's part of the trade you are in, probably your busiest day, once you get to the afternoon.

I just wish I could do this job from home, all I need is a phone line (check), a PC (check), a broadband connection (check) and secure access to the work servers (d'oh).

 

[.cage]

It's Saturday?!
No shit.

 

[Embattle]

On Saturday's I just sleep and kill

 

[Testin da Cable]

/me fluffles the working peeps

 

[Fex]

I'm just off to do 2 hours work then i'm back again for another 4 hours. Serves me right for working in a pub i suppose.

 

[Perplex]

I'm at work - and i've already thrown up twice. bad bad hangover

**** anger ****

 

[Will]

Anger? Did someone make you get drunk?

 

[Perplex]

No, but someone made me come into work

 

[Testin da Cable]

damn
pull a sickie Perp, and get the hell home/bed matey

 

[Will]

If you are sick on your work area, and curl up in a ball straight after, they might even pay for a taxi home.

 

[Damini]

Unless your sick (and you) smells strongly like methalated spirits. Then they might just get angry.

 

[Will]

I hadn't considered that one. And finding chunks in your keyboard on Monday would be bad.

 

[throdgrain]

ive been here since 9.30 and ive sold;
1 pair ear plugs £1.99
1 snood (dont ask) £9.99
gah ffs

 

[Perplex]

Since I started at 12:45 (was supposed to be here at 12) I've sent out 2 ambulances

 

[Damini]

a) Snoods still exist?!?!

b) People who buy snoods still exist?!?!

And Perplex, is sending out ambulances just a side hobby, or do you work in a sending out ambulances place?

 

[throdgrain]

You work in a hospital? Maybe you'll meet some of my customers lol

 

[Will]

Well, I just checked, and I've spoken to 52 members of the public, all of whom had something broken, and most of whom, if they had bothered their lazy arses, wouldn't have had to call me.

 

[throdgrain]

thats the public for ya

 

[throdgrain]

damini yeah snoods still exist,though thankfully not as a fashion item ala 1984 or something.
keeps you warm on a bike i guess.

 

[Perplex]

I work for SDOC (suffolk doctors on call), NHS-Direct, and we have to send ambulances out sometimes

Kind of stressful when you're feeling green and queasy.

It's only a part time job btw, beer money whilst I study my degree
