things that suck about your work....
How good are headphones.
I know my workmate is trying to get my attention.. I can see him out of the corner of my eye.. but I can't hear a thing he is saying and I know he is too lazy to get up to get my attention.
I listen to music all day at work, makes such a big difference.
Is everyone else able to do this?

at my work, if you need to purchase suplies (often) you cant get the money in advance unless its over $200 quid worth. I usualy find i need to buy about $150-190 (why do you mock me petty cash gods!).
There has to be a very special circumstance to get petty cash in advance... according to the website and procedures
"Petty Cash Advances may only be used in special circumstances eg, Wildfire fighting situations. A Special Advance form should be completed and signed by the staff member seeking the advance, their supervisor and the Petty Cash manager (See Appendix I (Word 20kb)).
"
so if you happen to find yourself in a 'wildfire fighting situation' all the sudden, and you need some cash to, oh i dont know, buy more bandages to help people with 3rd degree burns not die?, then you must fill out some forms and get 2 cunts to sign it..
like your going to give a fuck about makeing a petty cash advance when you ARE FIGHTING A WILDFIRE???
i find this funny, who writes these procedures anyway?
does anyone else have special petty cash conditions for wildfire fighting at their work? lol

yes you should! hold a meeting, create a wildifre fighting commity, hire in a firefighting contractor to liase with managment to descide on key objectives and cornerstone themes, draw up some procedures and submit them to relevant OH&S and managment staff as a proposal. Then have a 4 hour seminar to address the staff on the changes, and make them aware of the rists involved in wildfire fighting, and all related procedures (including petty cash advances durin wildfire fighting) while your at it throw in some bullshit about teamwork...Stray wrote:We don't have any procedures for fighting wildfires.
I think I will have to bring this to my managers attention.

actually the main thing that pisses me off about my work (and im sure its the same for all desktop IT support types) is that everyone assumes that we are their own personal IT support guy.
now i dont mind the odd question like "if i get ADSL will hackers hack my bank account?" or similar as they take no time. but when people start bringing their home confusers into work for us to look at its getting a bit out of hand really. im going to start asking them to help me make an ad ive been working on. fuckers.
also even if we are blatently like, eating lunch or something, this doesnt stop people from walking up and asking questions and dragging us away to fix a paper jam or whatever. "oh it will only take a second" bs.

To get a hat and an axe you may need a petty cash advance. You will need to fill out a form in triplicate in BLUE ink only and signed by person A, department 1; person B, department 2; and person C, department 3. Please note that department 3 is only operational on the third Friday of every month between the hours of 8.40 and 9.00am or 3.00 and 3.15.Stray wrote:Do I get to wear a firemans hat?

Then further imagine a heinous group of twisted, knuckle dragging, meat head, neanderthal, backward, Triple M listening single cell amoebas that pass as my (and I use this term loosely) "team".
Then imagine me sitting at my desk with my headphones permanently in my head to avoid conversation and the very real threat of severe mental anguish should I have to converse with these rancid boils from the unwashed armpit of humanity.
Otherwise I love it!
that sounds like my work

I also don't have 'net access (email only)
My emails a heavily monitored
The MD is a meat head jerk who wouldn't know how to be nice if you paid him.
My performance is often judged on K.P.I.s and other management devised treacheries and not on COMPANY REVENEW!!! which (in my mind) be the only thing that matters. This shits me to no end, I WANNA DO THINGS MY WAY GODDAMNIT.
Anyway, the trip to Surfers in Jan was alright (except for beoing only in the company of people from work), and I get paid pretty well.

I had K.P.I's (Key Performance Indicators) at my last job and it sucked, the only saving grace was that I was the one who wrote them coz da Management had no idea what my job involved
