Jaaakkkeee Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I feel exhausted from doing absolutely nothing, strangely.This. A pet hate for me is having nothing to do at work. Sure, I can grace the likes of here and facebook all day, but I come home more tired than if I had done a full day's labour.It's horrible and what's worse is people are like "oh you can't moan you do fuck all at your work you've got it easy."No. YOU'VE got it easy, with your hard work and your busy day. Fuck you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Same. I feel like I'm going to be sneered at for playing with my phone, but I've literally got fuck all to do. I handed in a 4 week notice before I started. Plenty of time to get a PC and a fob set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 The Student Union bar on Littlejohn Street was a pretty horrible job for that reason. We opened every day at 12 and most days wouldn't get our first customer until after 5. Looooong boring days. The boss used to have a go at me all the time if he came down and found me reading a book or watching tv. "why aren't you doing anything" he'd say. "there's only so many times I can mop the floor and clean the fridges boss" I'd say. So then he'd have me clean the fridges again. Tell you, that must have been the cleanest bar in Aberdeen, I spent 5 hours a day cleaning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have every bottle facing the correct direction, every table and chair perfectly square to the walls etc etc, just something to do to pass the time. Think the years of working offshore have broken me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Same. I feel like I'm going to be sneered at for playing with my phone, but I've literally got fuck all to do. I handed in a 4 week notice before I started. Plenty of time to get a PC and a fob set up.At my last job I was sometimes responsible for ensuring that all PC facilities, phones etc were in place ready for a new start under my supervision. Completing an IT Request Form in ample time was supposed to ensure this happened smoothly and yet even after completing and sending the form to the appropriate department, nine times out of ten said form would apparently be ignored, cue frantic and embarrassing Monday morning effort to get the facilities in place when the new employee turned up to an empty desk.Such bollocks is one of the reasons why I'm happily back to being one of the plebs, getting paid more for less hassle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of them were alright, I tried to get in about at least one of them but inevitably got knocked back due to my lack of good looks or personality. One of my colleagues was smashing loads of them though, the dirty rat. I did shag a customer a couple of weeks into the semester, which I was pretty pleased about, however she was kind of fat and it transpired that two of the other barmen had shagged her the week before, which kind of took the shine off it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Generic tripe that people speak. at work before having to head outside;"Damn, it's just started raining, oh well""where's your waterproof?""left it in my bag after my last shift and now it stinks, so left it at home to dry out""well who's fault is it that then."I wasn't complaining or blaming anyone else. Why suddenly feel the need to talk down on me? Twat.hold on, you were complaining. that first line is a total complaint. sucka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'd say that the 'oh well' undercuts the complaint with a tone that suggests acceptance of the situation despite it being less than ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 You shouldda been all like "It's raining... I fucking LOVE IT when it rains" and then laid down in a puddle, and made a puddle angel.That would undercut the complaint. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubbs Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Months have gone by, and after several calls to the Next payroll department, I STILL don't have my holiday pay from the cunts. I don't care if it's not that much, I'm still owe it. They diddled me out of a fair few hours after failing to explain that you don't get paid for any overtime unless you hit "query" instead of "confirm" for your clocking in/out hours.That and my previous boss still hasn't got around to giving me my missing wage slip, my holiday pay and tips (I went without tips for 5 weeks to pay for a staff night out, and I'm fucked if I'm going to pay for them to get drunk). Fucking hell, does no-one know how to handle folks wages any more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum_Fantastic Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 People who don't queue.

Soda Jerk Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Nah. Getting aggro at chancers is ace. Being a chancer is cunty.I've done the whole "There's a queue" a couple of times, and both times I just got a shrug or something unpleasant mumbled towards me, so now anyone who cuts in, unintentionally or not, is a chancer due a good, firm People's Elbow.If ya smell... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
