Ok, the office workers where I work can do their desk job, open plan as is the new thing, right next to either of our 2 248 metre long kilns Mmmm, 1400 celsius is fun

Sounds like a good idea as it will prepare many for their expected destination in the afterlife.

First job I ever had was in a torpedo factory - there were 1250 employees - 750 were office staff - 500 of us actually made the torpedoes.

The office people had their own shitehouses and a separate section in the canteen where we rude mechanicals weren't allowed to sit.

We had to clock in whereas they were trusted to sign in.

Not us who work on the 3 on 5 off roster but the Maintenance crew that work a regular Monday to Friday day shift, 3 are electricians, 4 are Fitters. There is a Maintenance Engineer, Maintenance Supervisor, Maintenance Planner and a Maintenance Co Ordinator and Maintenance Manager not sure what that second last one actually does, but that's 5 office workers who manage 7 blokes

Not bad, not bad at all
And the place still runs like shit

I have two current annoyances, both revolving round TV shows..

TV shows that keep popping up adverts onto the screen every five minutes.

I don't mean ad-breaks. I'm sitting watching a programme when into the top-right corner of the screen morphs an intrusive block of text... "starting next week - the-latest-edition-of-some-mindless-reality-shite"....

It is bad enough having to put up with fecking channel logos plastered onto the screen all the time. Do these people think everyones concentration span is so low that they have to be constantly reminded which channel they are watching?

The other annoyance - and UK channel 5 is the worst for this - is the constant recapping of what we've just seen on the screen. A programme goes into a scheduled ad-break and on return we have to have several minutes of what happened ninety seconds ago.. That and the annoying twat that insists on telling us what is "coming up.... in part two".

For those with the attention span of a gnat it miught be OK but it is really pissing me off at the moment.

I suppose I was lucky. In firefighting, everyone at the top of the command tree had started on the bottom rung and worked their way up. No "graduate entry - straight to officer" shite..

It meant that whatever a junior buck was facing he knew that the bloke in command of the incident - and ordering him into the job - had been there, done that and worked hard to get his pips. It makes for a good working relationship.

That's normal. Firefighters get an ethic. They even are ready to die to save people.
The vast majority of office workers walk up everyday to lick the feet of their masters in the way to not equally distribute the wealth.

Currently the below begging JUNK message which I received overnight - instead of blocking "Samuel Muth" from my Emails, I was sorely tempted to send a reply to him stating "FCUK OFF AND DIE":

Dear Fellow Beneficiary,


My name is Samuel Muth ,a citizen of Canada, I have been
trying to claim my fund valued Three Million dollars($3,000.000) from
Nigeria Government since 2010 without progress, the fraudsters keep on
asking me to send money by western union, money gram, bank transfer
for one reason or the other which made me lost over $167,000, all the
document they sent to me was fake .I decided to travel to Nigeria with
some vital information that I have from a friend who claimed his fund
valued $6M with the assistance of one Mrs.Kate Henshaw, Financial
Controller Access Bank Nigeria plc, who is a very sincere person.

I opened communication with Mrs. Kate Henshaw, who so much
assisted me, I spent only 3 working days and claimed my fund in full
payment into my bank accounts in Canada and Thailand. I only spent
$360 only for l e g a l documents. I also came back with my ORIGINAL
DOCUMENTS as proof of ownership.


I also saw your file next to my own, Your fund is ready to be
released. I just decided to notify you because I know that you
must have been victimized by the fraudsters in Nigeria who
claims to be top government officials in charge of your
payment.The only solution is to stop all communication with any body
and contact:


Mrs. Kate Henshaw,
Financial Controller,
Access Bank Nigeria Plc,
Email; henshawkate50@ g m a i l . c o m

Contact her to enable you reclaim your fund, Your
presence may not be needed in Nigeria, You can receive your
fundwithout visiting Nigeria, she is a very good and sincere person.

Acknowledge receipt of this email.

Sincerely,
Samuel Muth,
Ontario Canada.

Oh that must mean mine is due to be released any day now, too. Then I can invest in the home business that will make me a millionaire in 4 hours a day.

It's weird. I never knew I had so many Nigerian relatives till I bought a computer. Must have missed a whole chunk out of my family tree.
