i work in a bar and depending on the day its either one of the best jobs or the worse

some days you get a good crowd of people and its a great laugh other times its shite, another downside is the long hours and poor pay, as its a hotel bar its 24 hour license

I love my job

Lets face it - its every schoolboys dream to be a train driver - getting paid for sitting on your arse watching the scenery dash by at upto 100mph (fastest our units will go) splattering the occasional pigeon or other wild animal

i hate my job too

i'm a conductor on the trains which is not a bad job but the kids in the nights hanging around the stations are a nightmare

i've been luck so far but know a lot of guards that have been assalted

was hoping to go driving but have just heard they have suspended any more driving courses so i might start looking for something else tbh

Money is good but i fookin hate it. got something else in the pipe line that i hope comes off

More now since getting in at 10pm last night as the shed of a company car (Focus estate 1.6TDCi) i borrowed's turbo exploded just before junction 30 of the M1 at around 6pm

Metal turbo hose had a 3 inch split down it, RAC man taped it up with gaffer tape and putty, but now when you rev it it makes a noise something similiar to dropping a box of screws into a food processor so had to wait another hour for a tow. Didnt help that there was no fuckin oil in it either

What a waste of a friday night! And now, seeing as benfield ford had the bollards up last night i had to dump it in Asda's car park and now i have to go move it

It's going through as over time...fuck em

I like what i do i just hate the company i work for. It's been bad for a while but it's convenient, as i live near the the office etc. but am now actively looking for something else. Especially since they've now turned round and stopped paying over time as of next month. So i get home from work at 8/9pm for the good of my health do i?
