I do not believe it! I think that phrase fits nicely here.  We are in desperate need of an experienced Operations Manager, the applicant description was very specific, IT literate etc etc, plenty of applicants are narrowed down to three……… who get’s the job? Well he doesn’t have BASIC IT skills, he’s as arrogant as hell(just because he’s in the Guinness Book of Records as the first six figure(£100,000) goalkeeper in the English First Division) and spends his days off, taking top management for cups of coffee.  I wonder if the bosses know about his sexual harassment of one of the admin girls?  Yes being an ex professional footballer he thinks women are just dying to be with him.  I can prove these accusations so am I safe?  Hmmm………

Change needed!

I need a new job! Don’t get paid enough to take phone calls at home on my rest days only to find out it’s work and getting a bollocking over the phone, let’s hope the recession is over soon!

Isn't it good to be back...it is isn't it?

Well that's the first week after annual leave done and dusted.  Nothing's really changed after three weeks, except, SOPs!  Standard Operating Proceedures! in other words management write it down, you read it, sign your name at the bottom of the page and that's your training!  How the hell does that help?  All it does is cover management's back if something goes wrong.  It's like our 'new' daily shift report, the one that's supposed to cover my back.  Bullshit! all it does is take things back ten years and make us write things out instead of putting it in the pc...... in other words make it easier for MANAGEMENT to check things and use them against you.  We are even counting the number of vouchers we take, putting down how much cash we had in the till, how much we've taken out and yes you've guessed it! how much is left in the till.  All this is recorded in about fifteen different reports on the mainframe and we have to write it on a piece of paper.  God how I hate this job! I need to find something else........ and quick!

On a lighter note ...... gas filled balloons!
