Granny Danger Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 There are some very thick folk who work in offices and some very clever folk who do manual labour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Aye, but so's shutting at 4.55, do they moan at you about lost revenue? What time did rangers shut at before they died?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Ok, but surely office staff asking someone else to empty their bins while they sit on their arses is bit wrong surely?? I've never, ever heard of that happening. The cleaner who is employed to do that probably empties it. I do a bit of both office work and manual labour in my job and both are a bit grim at times. Time stands still when you're in the office and working in the pishing rain labouring isn't the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but we don't have a cleaner at the moment. Our office staff are just lazy in general. They've also got a habit of chucking empty boxes outside the office door rather than walk 100 yards to the skip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Just now, throbber said: I would ideally like a mix of both in my job - there's something quite un natural about spending 40+ hours a week sat in an office working on a computer all the time and i would imagine it hard to escape and get away from people. Being on your feet all day is good at times but can get exhausting and will ware anyone out in time. Be A Ware of being on your feet all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not really asking people to empty their bins though. They're just lazy c***s not walking to the skip and dumping shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 They do ask. But two of the 3 staff in the office are the bosses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your boss asked you to empty the bins? I can see why you'd be upset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 They did let you have some pallets to make your garden furniture so I suppose there is some perks to emptying the bosses bins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) I have been 'randomly' selected for jury service at the High Court exactly 2 years and 1 week after the last time I was called up. Fucking seething. Edited August 11, 2016 by Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I've ever been delighted to lose a raffle. 4 minutes ago, BigFatTabbyDave said: I thought you only got called up once, or is that an urban myth? You're off the hook for 2 years, hence why I'm a seething mess. I can't help but think the fact I live a ten minute walk from the place is going to mean I randomly get called up on a regular basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your anger is quite justified, in that case. Keep notes in case your hunch is right, and you can write a bestseller about the "shocking secrets of Scotland's most frequent juror!" Which would inevitably turn out to be a memoir about teenagers stealing fags and Buckfast from the offie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pray you get picked, then it's 5 years before you get picked again, and you get a paid week off work with free lunch every day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
