NJ2 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 This is throbber level attention-seeking, well done Ooft. From you, after that fucking thread with its self indulgent 40 page posts? Jesus. So the only options are day time TV or unpaid work? I’m open to suggestions, DA. Whatever I do, I’ll know that I’ve got other stuff that I need to be doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question - Haven't you always got other stuff to do at work, who can leave work with a clear desk every day? So, you're never able to relax and forget about work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may surprise you to know that not everything I post on here is serious. The only thing I was remotely serious about on that whole at work to work thing was that my concentration was being disturbed and it was really annoying me because I was stuck on a Flow Free level for ages and couldn't get past it. I think I've spent the sum total of about 2 hours this week doing actual work in between reading my kindle, browsing on here and being addicted to Flow Free. So I can see where you'd think I was your last hope, but it's fucked. NJ2 is dead, long live NJ3 xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd followed Rugster's advice and done some work, rather than fucking about with decorations since the October week, you wouldn't be in this position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about clearing things up as much as you can in order to relax, but as long as you can distinguish between what needs to be done and what actually needs to be done - otherwise you'll become a workaholic. That said, you'll likely get no thanks for it but you know that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back 12 years ago I worked for the same company as my sister in law. Different department, other end of a large building. She done that thing while off on maternity leave, where she brought the baby in to show him off to her colleagues. On the way out she stopped by where I was working. Ended up with all the women in my department going all googly eyed and soft in the head, while I sat trying to get on with my work and not really caring. I got to see the little shite machine whenever I felt like it anyway. They made me feel like a fucking monster, when I am merely a heartless c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were doing it for thanks I’d have left long ago! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 If it wasnt for our mutual love of Tennents Mr J2..... Exactly why I’m avoiding the pub today. Plans are afoot for Friday pints and Saturday recovery pints. Tennents being the order of the day of course 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Last week, a customer handed in 2 bags of booze, which he said was for everyone at the work. Bar the office staff, none of the rest of us got any of it. poor show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fucking huge waste of paper. They could create folder in their email account or use the flagging system. Genuinely this should be something that should see them get a talking to from management. Tree killing morons. I used to work with a guy who would send you an e-mail, print it off and bring the printed copy over to you and read it to you! Absolute zoomer, he was a dead ringer for Ned Flanders as well, god fearing with glasses and a moustache.

I thought it would be more common, folk going in on their days off. Quite commonplace in our team at work. If the work needs done, it needs done. I thought of all the people here you’d appreciate the no nonsense, get the work done attitude. If you're having to come in on days off to do work, you're either utterly shite at your job or you're doing far more than a one man role and should be having a conversation with management, not happily accepting it.

BallochSonsFan Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 21 hours ago, NJ2 said: I finished up yesterday. Got a away early was well. Was still there 8am sharp this morning. What a total bell piece I am. Left about 11 but think I’ll go back in this afternoon. Might leave it until tomorrow though. A combination of not a great deal else to do and could really do with having stuff done to save getting a wee telling off. Are you mental? If you have so much work outstanding that you need to give up time off to go into your work unpaid then you're either really poor at your job or your employer is in an absolutely terrible state. Nobody should ever have to give up days off without pay. Occasional overtime is one thing. Actually considering giving up time off? Barking mad and a sign of serious underlying problems in the business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where existing staff have never had a previous job, it does not require that much brainwashing. If you never known anything different and you want to appear to be a good worker then it is very easy to do this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
