AoWW Posted 28 January 2014 Posted 28 January 2014 Plumber's aren't that well paid But they do actually only work for about 1 hour in 10. They're ace at drinking tea and eating biccys, though.
StanSP Posted 28 January 2014 Posted 28 January 2014 The guy working on the shop floor isn't responsible for making orders and is not to blame for your item not being in stock. YES! Excellent shout. So many times I get 'well that's ridiculous it's not in stock' or 'can you put an order in now for it?'. Err, no. What could I possibly do?? Even more confused as we have a Click & Collect service where they can order it themselves from the comfort of their own home in to the store for FREE and pick it up at their leisure .
Strokes Posted 28 January 2014 Posted 28 January 2014 Plumber's aren't that well paidWho do you look like, Mario or Luigi?
FoxyPV Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 That because I work for a water company I have any idea why your water's off / dirty/ who that person is who was rude to you (unless it occurs in my area )?
Finnegan Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 That because I work for a water company I have any idea why your water's off / dirty/ who that person is who was rude to you (unless it occurs in my area )? This applies to local authority as well. I do work for the council. I don't know why yours bins haven't been collected, why we've implemented residents parking where it wasn't, why we spent money on the culture bid or how long the roadworks are going to last at Fosse Park.
MikeyT Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Photographers are all impoverished, bitter and twisted, chain-smoking alcoholics. Oh, hang on.... I don't drink very often, I don't smoke and I'm certainly not bitter or twisted. The impoverished bit however!
GingerrrFox Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Working in Sport Science doesn't mean I spend all day playing with footballs and it doesn't mean I have to be in as good shape as a professional athlete.
hairy Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Being in construction does not mean I know anyone who will come round and fix/patch/paint/lay/plumb or anything else without you having to pay! I know them and I have to pay!
davieG Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Being a volunteer Unpaid Foxestalk Administrator doesn't mean I know why you've been banned or had your topic deleted, moved or merged, if you thought about it a bit more you'd know why you've been banned or if you'd used the search facility or even just glanced down the current top threads you'd see why your topic was deleted, moved or merged.
Parafox Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Just because I work for the NHS and wear a hospital uniform, it does not mean I'm a doctor! Porter?
foxer Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 I'm down to the last few for a 'tax professional development graduate' role with HMRC (essentially a tax inspector) and i'm not an absolute cnut (honest )
MrsJohnMurphy Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Just because I've delivered your parcel doesn't mean I know... (a) whats in it..or (b) who sent it. And no I won't wait whilst you open it you see if its the correct item.
Finnegan Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 ****ing hell, a lady postie. Trav, get on it, mun, you're in here.
Biggus Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Inspired by CPF's perception (and myself as well many others on here I am sure) about all accounting jobs being dull and repetitive, I thought it would be good to start a thread on this as it is an interesting subject. I'll get the ball rolling. Having a degree in IT does not mean you know EVERYTHING about computers and can solve all of computer problems!
Biggus Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 I have an IT degree and for my wife thinks I can fix every Computer problem e.g. "the printer isn't working can you fix it" only to find it is out of paper. All that studying was not for nothing!
Bellend Sebastian Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 On my other half's behalf: if you ever meet a psychologist socially, they're unlikely to be analyzing you or trying to read your mind, unless you're going to give them £150 an hour
bovril Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 I don't drink very often, I don't smoke and I'm certainly not bitter or twisted. The impoverished bit however! Probably just me then! The drink and cigarettes leads inevitably to the impoverished bit!

Did it have a module on how to quote a post on a forum?

Uncle Phil Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Just because I work in the woodland behind your house it doesn't mean I have to pick up the leaves in your garden.
Smudge Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 On my other half's behalf: if you ever meet a psychologist socially, they're unlikely to be analyzing you or trying to read your mind, unless you're going to give them £150 an hour I don't know about that, they may look like they don't care but they do, especially the ones from Nottigham

Vardinhio Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 In a role I've had as a buyer I can say that often irrespective of what you are purchasing it often comes down to how good you are at writing contracts. Much like managing projects the actual subject isn't necesarilly the most important thing.
Saxondale Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 There is a misconception amongst some deluded people that HR departments serve any useful purpose at all. If was to take over a large company, I would immediately sack the entire HR department and replace them with a Personnel Administrator on £12k a year. The existing HR Director would be welcome to apply for the new post, but they'd have to give me a bloody good reason why they should get the job over any other unskilled secretary.
StanSP Posted 30 January 2014 Posted 30 January 2014 On my other half's behalf: if you ever meet a psychologist socially, they're unlikely to be analyzing you or trying to read your mind, unless you're going to give them £150 an hour I like you. Them: What did you do at university? Me: Psychology. Them: Ooh what am I thinkingl? Me: Fvck off. I don't care. Bore off.
