    ****ing love working holidays. Roads dead quiet, no **** phoning me or emailing me stupid ****ing questions.

    Can just spend the day skiving on the internet then clock off about 2.30 and claim it as a full day.

    Same on Monday and next Friday (no way am I taking a day off for that in-bred prick and his soon-to-be child producing walking womb.)

    Used to love doing security work as a student in May. Double pay cash in hand, £160 to sit around on an empty construction site getting stoned for 12 hours...Beats sitting in an office all day!

    The worst is when you get forced to buy an overpriced slice of cake and it's crap. If they want to force people to eat it, why not make a decent cake? :emoticon-0183-swear

    ****s in my work do a cake club <doh> Each week someone bakes a cake and the rest of the fannies mark them <doh>

    They've nicked the plate I single handedly won for the department in the Glasgow office 5-a-side day <grr>

    Last week was a ham and olive cake. Looked ****ing disgusting.

    Some people have very limited social lives, any human interaction helps them. Also they're often fatties and they do love cake <ok>

    <laugh> I left at 12 today. Couldn't be ****ed any more. Done overtime every day and two 24 hour shifts in the last two weeks. Daft ****s hired me to take up the slack then sacked a guy who had a PhD in Engineering my second week! So I've basically been doing his job and all the stuff they already had lined-up for me.

    I've been working out of the Shell offices, mental politics in there. Every **** is trying to stab everyone else in the back to make themselves look good. Thank **** I'm just a sub-contractor in there.

    Are Shell that bad? I know someone who works for them, he's an officer on tankers and he thinks they are clowns.

    It's ****ing unreal Dev. There are loads of politics offshore but there are close to 3500 people at Tullos and nearly 1000 at Seafield in Aberdeen. So everyone is trying to make a name for themselves and are ruthless beyond belief.

    I suppose where promotion (money) is concerened some people would stab their own Granny to make a fast buck. It's pretty sad but it goes on everywhere and every organisation, we are living through the Pavarotti generation (Me me me) in my opinion.

    I cannot abide people who are driven only by money and career progression.
