In Bristol - not my bed

rob · Post by **rob** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 8:36 am

Well its 7am and here I am sat in Bristol rather than being tucked up in bed.

Grrr I hate my managers. They wouldnt listen to me last night at 6pm when I explained a problem and the solution. No we had to do it there way which didnt work so I had to get in my car and drive to Bristol.

I was meant to finish at midnight last night but no at 3am after running around trying their stupid ideas I was finally told I needed to go to Bristol to fix a computer

What is it with managers - get a title and have their brains removed :rolleyes: The worst part is that I now have to drive back to Derby and then start work again at 4pm through until 4am Friday mornng.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Sorry about the rant, I need to get that out of my system before I say something to my managment (who spent the night all nice and cosy in their own beds) that will get me sacked.

Thanks for listening.

I won't ever work for free under any circumstance - and my boss knows it.

If he's got a problem -- and he can find me ... perhaps he can hire Me to solve it!

And as for all this 'company loyalty'

, you wait and see how much loyalty they show you when they are making cut-backs!

Mottos to Work by

Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings, they did it by killing all those who opposed them.

If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.

Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity

A person who smiles in the face of adversity...probably has a scapegoat.

Plagiarism saves time.

If at first you don't succeed, try management.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.

TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups.

We waste time, so you don't have to.

Hang in there, retirement is only thirty years away!

Go the extra mile. It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker.

A snooze button is a poor substitute for no alarm clock at all.

When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break.

INDECISION is the key to FLEXIBILITY.

Succeed in spite of management.

Aim Low, Reach Your Goals, Avoid Disappointment.

well silly old me, I didnt work form 4pm to 4am

instead I ended up working right through until I finally left work at 21:45 on Thursday night. 34 hours at work

On the plus side I stand to make a tidy sum on the milage and I stopped one of the guys who works for me possibly getting in to trouble (he had dropped a bollock)

Next time, do I sit back and let him fry
