My worst job was super glueing rubber grommits onto Ford brake lines. Fkt up job I had when I was about 48 or 49. Glued my fking fingers together every day until I quit a day later. So any Ford drivers out there who's brakes failed I'm sorry. Cnut of a job it was. Did the smell of the glue (the dissolvent?) give you a high though, or just one big f...ing headache ? It was a horrible job. Truly awful. try super glueing a satang coin onto a drinking straw for 8 hours straight. Thats very close to how that job went. |

I think after 10 minutes I'd feel like staging a revolt and glue some supervisors or HR chaps |

Reminds me of my and a couple of colleagues ''careers'' as ''road-sweepers.''
A surveillance team was put into place to monitor the activities of persons of interest to our dept. We were sent for training to a local council depot where we were instructed in the art and actions etc of a council road sweeper.
Issued with suitably worn overalls, scruffy boots and used brooms, off we went. Tea and sarnies, Rizla and baccy too (none waccy baccy style I hasten to add) We fitted the part well
Good result after a couple of weeks too, let alone the chance to ogle and wolf whistle the girls as the passed by and throw out our one liners to them, all P C in those days and expected too.

I was the miserable bastid who refused your emergency social security payment at 5pm on a Friday after keeping you waiting for six hours.

Still working. Electrical engineer training/mentoring electrical engineering graduates in Myanmar. Very satisfying work.... The young people know the theory ( well some of it) but never had an opportunity at university to actually use it.....simply no money for equipment. No PLC at university..... All the programming done on a blackboard. They are so keen, willing and able to learn, it's a wonderful job for me at the twilight of my working life, and to be honest it's given me a lift and a bit of purpose compared to the corporate bullshit I was involved in previously back in Oz

^^^^ I wonder how many guys are sat in Thailand with so much information they could pass on for free, but unable to do so because of no work permit etc etc, unable to volunteer for free and pass on their lifetimes knowledge and experience.
Well done, I know exaclty what you mean by corporate BS, been there done that.
Too be honest, I doubt if I could even pass the exams I sat years ago.

I am still tied up with the corporate bullshit. When you think it can't get any worse they surprise you.
