Inconsequential Twaddle!

6 Jan 2006

Maybe I'm the only one who feels like this, but since the change-over I've really missed all the non-sexual, inconsequential twaddle that used to go on in here.
So I'm having a go at getting it started again biggrin

Ok............here's a couple of really inconsequential questions to get the ball rolling.
1................what is the worst job you've ever had, and why? Mine was sitting in a room punching data into a computer................a chimp could have done that job! :sleeping:
2................if you could go back in time and live in any other period of history, which would it be? I'd like to go back to the time when Bouddica was kicking butt and give her a helping hand, although with my height I'd be better at kicking kneecaps :D
So come on, peeps, get answering wink

I worked for about a month making coat hangers... I was 17 and had to leave my job at the time of dispatch riding (it got too cold). So the coat hangers it was... Foooking boring ain't the word... Time travel... I'm not that worried what period I go back or forward to as long as I don't have to work ! I wanna be rich ! Give me the Money !!

1. Worst Job Life Guard at a holiday camp. I used to spend the whole day nervous in case someone was actually drowning or needed help, and when it actually happened the parents of the kids who were generally crying there eyes out from shock would have a go at you because you let their child almost drown. You cant win. An awful summer. Would agree with the data entry though. Did get a blowjob from doing it once. Think the woman was so bored she did me because it bought her 30sec of excitement in a boring day. lol

:lol:
2. Time travel Hmmmm difficult one. I think Roman times would have been nice. But not sure about the lead plates. I like the ideas of the Roman spas with women feeding the naked men (or is that a fantasy) redface

1......... Worst job :- Food processing factory 1997 is was the shit!! and very hard grafting!! but then i worked all summer and bought my very first PC so i have to be grateful for that.
2......... I would go back to when Hugh Hefner was a young stud, befriend him and propose a joint business venture

My worst job is,nt actually the job but somethings i had to do, i was a carer and although i liked the job the worst thing i hsd to do was cleaning up an elderly lady who had cronic runs but it was,nt just on her but all down her legs and all over the bathroom walls redface

, when i asked how did it get up there , she replied she was breaking wind while it was coming out surprised

ops:

As for a period of time i would like to have dressed up in egyptian costume like cleopatra

1).. Working for Til***** (a company that added the colour into sand (no really!)) ... basically... i counted at least 8 different health and safety breachs.....
one day :-) and the council got a letter too muAHAHAHAHAHAH
2) I love the idea of time travel... have to be a return journey.... actually i'd prefer to go forwrd in time... see whats to come.... but if i was going back.. i'd have to pick the 1700s when people were more pompous than now.. hahaha

Reckon I must have been fortunate as I can look back and say I have not really had a "worst job", I suppose each of my jobs has had its good and bad days but no job I have really wanted to get out of.
Period in history...............I think the 1930s

I cant really single out a really shit job I've had the misfortune to have.....
Had a few I suppose...
As for the time period hhmmmmm
I guess it would have to be the 1800's when Britain was a world leader in engineering and led the way in many aspects......And steam power was the next big thing.....
Fantastic..

I worked in C & A one Christmas :lol2:

6 Jan 2006

i had a couple of crappy jobs when i was at university - usual fare of barrwork (which was ok), cleaning, kitchen work and usual stuff.
but the worst one i had was when i worked for BUPA as a cleaner, had to clean the operating theatres occasionally! which wasn't very nice, im not too bothered about blood and gore but the sound of bits of bone being sooked up by a hoover was the worst noise ive ever heard, will never forget it! yuck
as for a period of time, im but a young pup (23) so i'm going to say id like to go back to the 1960's around the time of woodstock! go to that and soak up the end of the hippy era
cheers

You know of course, Lissa; that we'll never have time travel.
Not now, or in the future.
Because, if we were going to have it in the future, we'd have it now :shock:
(That twaddle enough for ya ?? wink

1. Washing supermarket trays in my student days was a bit of a boring and grim job.
2. After watching the "Rome" drama on bbc - I'd have loved to have lived in the Roman times.

1. Worst job - scraping sugar dust off a factory floor where they made chewing gum. So much dust and they didn't provide a face mask, nor did they provide earmuffs to guard againstthe noise of the machine I had to use... lasted ONE day before walking out!
2. Period of time - the swinging sixties or the swinging thirties (if I had been privileged to be born into a rich enough family to enjoy it)

1. Cleaning mens toilets in a hotel when I was 14 uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh smelly is all I remember :shock: :shock: :shock:
2. The roaring 20's. I so would have loved to have been devine and decadent and would have also been a head strong suffragette lol

I`ve been lucky in that my jobs that I had have been ones that I have enjoyed doing, however, there are somethings in them that I hate.
They are:-
As a school groundsman, putting up nets on cricket practice frames. The nets seem to get hung up on every thing that they possibly can including the stepladder that you are stood on.
In my current job as a tractor driver, verge the south coast town that I cover, working along the main roads into the town, cutting between the lamp posts, fold the machine up to pass the next one, stop and wait for the traffic to clear, reposition, unfold machine, cut to next lamp post etc.
The worst job of all
As a general dogsbody in a vehicle hire firm, cleaning out minibusses when somebody has vommitted in them! Uuuggghhhh!

Think the worst job was when I was at college, working for a local catalogue company and all I did all day was sit by a conveyor belt and take off any parcels which were wrapped properly. Talk about boring.
Now time travel, it would have to be back to the Julias Ceaser time (BBC2 series Rome), just look at all the naughty fun they had wink

Thanks Lisa, nice to have a good thread to read lol

When I was a truck driver I earned myself a short driving ban (to fast to many times) needing to make ends meet I landed the plum job of putting the nozzles on aresol cans in a factory I lasted a whole 2 hours before I walked out. sad

7 Jan 2006

i think the worst job that i ever had was while between jobs i took a short term job in a local brewery i was well excited before i started because i do like a drink smile

all happiness soon left me when told its instant dissmissal if caught drinking on the job so i had to stand by a convayor belt for eight hours a day watching beer bottles go by removing any broken ones or no tops on sad

mind dumbing aint the word confused

as for the time travel i would have to go back to the stone age some nice cave woman might knock me over the head & drag me back to her cave :twisted:
