Overpaid, overworked and overly knackered
Is it just me or do companies squeeze every last drop of life from people these days?
I've had a steady stream of people tripping into my office for a Jammy Dodger, coffee and moan... people seem to be switching on to the fact that money isn't everything and it's all about the quality of life rather than the wage/position.
When I think about it I work like a flaming machine, am always thinking about work (especially during sex) and am always taking work related calls day and night.... in fact I've just come to the conclusion that I'm fecking sick of flaming work.
My point.... there isn't anywhere for me to go and bitch, other than here, which also has a distinct lack of said jammy buscuits

PS - If you're even thinking of posting a "I get paid loads to taste crisps, chocolate bars and beer all day".... then don't.

I get the impression from what I see that you are right DCI. What with the monstrous salaries and bonuses we see the "nebbies" paying themselves, and that goes for politicians as well of course with their obscene expense claims, and the attitude towards those who do the actual work, it is beginning to take on the feeling of exploitation.

Working for yourself doesnt get any better either so dont think it is.
In fact apart from not having to worry about office politics, able to arrange your own holidays, it is just as bad.
I think the only thing to do is to become a biscuit tester
* drops a few crumbs from latest creation onto keyboard

on my way to Reading this morning for a 9.00am meeting
up nice and early -- out the door at 6.30, quick petrol stop, 30 litres of unleaded
great except my car is diesel -- 3 miles down the road car conks out,
ahh that will be why the 1.17p a litre seemed cheap
ok phone/email someone -- mmmm my BB out of power, no problem, connect it to my charger -- hey it's in my laptop bag (which for the first time in 4 years I - on purpose - i left at home)
so a long 3 mile walk back to the petrol station to ring my wife (i'll prop take it out on her later and giver her a beating)
at least it was a nice sunny morning

no unfortunatly not
I have just taken off the pipe to the fuel filter and then hotwired the primary fuel pump
this has emptied the tank (I will use all the excess petrol in my other car and lawnmower)
i then ran through some diesel using the same method, and then filled with the correct fuel
I am just waiting whilst the battery charges a bit before I start it

After a year of ownership, I still get out the car muttering "diesel, diesel, diesel!!"
(my first diesel )

well it's not as bad as my first attempted oil/filter change on the car
drain oil
remove filter, replace filter
replace oil with 5 litre's of Mobil's finest
that's funny -- the dipstick reading looks a little odd (high reading)
repeat above

funny, except that I had drained the "sealed for life" transmission fluid instead of the engine oil
that was a long weekend -- but turned out OK in the end

Find a pretty young female employee get her into a little room/ cupboard and proceed to take her roughly (anally if you prefer).
It's the only way to cope with the pressures of work, you'll actually look forward to going to work in the morning.
You'll also work harder/be more productive because you'll want to get all your work done so that you can spare up a few minutes for her to gobble you underneath your desk at lunchtime
