Worst job??

23 Mar 2004

As I sit here reflecting on what a total and utter arse the guy I've have just put the phone down to is.................I was thinking, maybe I have the worst job in the world? or not? Anyone else think they have a rubbish job at times??, oh and my job will remain secret in case you all think its me that is an arse wink

23 Mar 2004

I don't have a job at the moment at all - now that is a bit of an arse! Would anyone care to employ me? I'm methodical, adaptable, eager to please and happy to put my hand to just about anything. I'm sure I could dig up references from somewhere...

Sappho ....ahem...Just what position did you have in mind?? wink

23 Mar 2004

Niceguy, I've been in education, an administrator, a writer, a proofreader and a personal assistant. I have thought about retraining but I'm not sure what in.
What position do you think I should occupy? Any ideas or suggestions would be given serious thought!

Sappho, with all those skills, you're virtually a one person company smile

I'd float on the FTSE, bank the money and retire wink

Sappho
with such diverse skills and your intellect I rather feel you could adopt any position you wished and both glean, and provide, complete satisfaction....
Let me think though ...mmm Administrator of education there may be some specialist openings down that path. wink

May be a magistrate so delciously fair ...it would almost seem a pleasure to be sent down by you.
On the other hand ....you could be a councillor for those looking to give up smoking smile

Worst job??? Mmmm let me think....changing just know there is more of that to come no matter how many times you do it. sad

You know Herts Man i think I know what sort of job you do and it is THEM that are the asswipes mad

depends how far you are willing to travel as may know of jobs

I actually like my job. Yes, I complain about it. Yes, the hours get unpleasant at times. But I love it. It's interesting work with great people and a company that looks after us well.
One of my previous jobs was not so good. The lowest point was the day when my manager came to me and asked "How is project X going? We need it finished in two weeks". Project X? What's project X? "Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you about it". I told him it would be finished when it was finished, and left before it was.
Sappho: learn to program and move to Newcastle. I'll put in a good word for you. Will might be a little upset at the extra travelling, but to balance that I'll be overjoyed.

Thank you for the interest thus far!

In all seriousness i am job hunting, but I am limited to a radius of 20 miles from home because of domestic commitments.

Sappho -
whatever you do DON'T be tempted by a PGCE of any variety!! One of todays' highs was having a young boy asking me if 'I took it up the arse'??? On the other hand one of my highs was another older (Y12)boy asking me very politely why I had missed the class last week - he was so lovely and respectful and sweet I almost hugged him.
Hugs and more hugs

They tried giving me some underlings. I'm not a manager. My delegation skills aren't far from "No, not like that! Forget it, I'll just do it myself".

Curiously enough I did the first part of a PGCE - but the place in which I was teaching completely put me off the profession - so much so I went into journalism for a while!
Last year I did consider going back and finishing it, but thought better of it - a better offer came up with my last job. Oh why did they have to make me redundant? :cry:

You have delegation skills just like mine - too much of a 'hands-on' person to delegate!

Try & top this. Last week got a call from a client with a blocked drain. When i got there it was so bad the manhole cover had floated off in a sea of 3 day old seweage. After an hour of rodding & poking about the main blockage finally shifted, but i still had to get down in the chamber with a hose to flush out the last remnants. I can't describe the smell but it did make your eyes water. When i gave them the bill for Â£60 they had the nerve to complain it was to high, some people banghead

Do I win & what's the prize?

Â£60 You can sort my plumbing out anyday! smile
