Tough Day at Work…

WANKING FOR COINS IS BACK ON THE MENU

I am quite sick of my job being made more difficult because some mad bastard decided to have yet another thoroughly illogical whim.

Today, instead of doing what I normally do on a Thursday, where I do a set of tasks quickly and efficiently because I've done them so frequently I could do it blindfolded and from muscle memory, the boss has decided that I should do something else entirely, that is usually nothing to do with me whatsoever and will have me consulting plans every two minutes to know where the fuck anything is.

He could have assigned this to someone whose shift starts not long after mine, who is entirely familiar with it and could do the necessary in about a quarter of the time it will take me, but that person has also been assigned to do something outside their norm.

Meanwhile, what I usually do today has been given to a gobshyte 17 year old who got a job through nepotism and his superpowers from being bitten by a radioactive sloth, and I am 100% certain that I will have to spend an unreasonable amount of time tomorrow fixing the absolute balls he will make of the job.

Boss' justification for this?

"I was sick of seeing the same people doing the same things all the time."

They're our fucking JOBS, you mad cunt! If you want a bit of variety in your day to day life, buy some fucking Rowntrees Randoms and reach into the bag with your fucking eyes closed, while the rest of us get on with what needs fucking doing.

I understand the logic behind mixing things up to give people experience in something new but if something is being done correctly and well then why change things for the sake of it? I almost imagine this is just something for a manager to put on their PDP for their annual meeting.

Really sounds like they're lying. I would severely doubt most managers care about who is doing what as long as it's being done and done well enough so as not to cause them trouble and not get them in trouble. It really does scream of something to mention for their evaluation.

Kinda fucked myself over by mentioning Rowntrees Randoms now though, as that's all I'll be wanting for the rest of the day.

Have to admit, you've made me think of them too now

Oh sir, you are in for a treat.

Good luck whatever happens mate and yeah if they give it to someone else then that's the sign.

Too many negatives in that post against the single positive, if that helps.

When the Chinese invade you'll have a front row seat, what's not to love?

Someone I worked with after graduation works for the BC now and she's been there 20+ years so it must be a pretty good organisation to work for I guess.

As someone who isn't jaded from living abroad it seems a no-brainer to me, but if you can't hack yet another year of it then you really shouldn't force yourself to do it.

It would be a shame to turn down the BC though as they do seem a great place to get a foot in the door.

Honestly, is it worse than where you are at right now? Perhaps it'll be a great experience, but even if it isn't, it doesn't have to be forever.

You get to see a(nother?) pretty amazing part of the world and get to be involved with a pretty cool organisation and maybe it'll get your foot in and lead to somewhere you really want to be.

I'm not telling you to go, but sometimes, opportunities are what we make of them.

Didn't get that job I went for either. Got pipped at the post by someone who had slightly more electronics experience than me. Weird, but that's that. Massive pisser as it was a brilliant fit and location for me. They said I interviewed brilliantly and everything fit etc etc.

And now, after next week, I'm back on evenings and weekend work with the nhs.

To say I'm extremely gutted is an understatement

Cheers. I've only just had the phone call so I'm wound up and fucked off to fuck at the minute. I'll take some time to calm down.
