I hate selecting my items at Coles (Focacia, salami, swiss cheese, a few tomatoes, and an avocado), then heading to the "12 items or less" counter. I've got a $20 bill in my hand, ready to pay and go.
There's a fat slut there with two BOXES of Fererro Rocher 3 (or maybe) packs, a few loaves of bread, and a couple packs of sausages, and some toiletries and stuff.
She pushes the toiletries to the front of the belt, and once the girls has scanned them, she puts her hand over the rest, and says "Those are for me", and hands over a card.
Then the girl goes on to scan the rest, but two boxes of Fererro rochers is some couple hundred (maybe even a million) packets. So they have to be counted. That goes through, and she says "These are for the fete", and hands over a different credit card.
Then she says "I'll have a packet of (some fucking cancer stick or other)", and hands over another card. The checkout chick leaves the register, wanders halfway down the shop, to get the cigs, and starts processing.
I just dumped my shit on the belt and walked off.
Express lane my arse.

Working at Tumour Towers pisses me off.
Only a few more weeks, though, Lord willing... and 2 interviews with new agencies on Monday

Oh, what pisses me off most: knowing there are little old ladies throughout the country who donate £2 or more of their pension each month to a cancer charity, because their sister/brother/husband/whoever died of cancer, and want to help find a cure. and 1 third of that donation goes towards paying the phone bill of the women who sit at their desk all day berating their husbands over pointless shit, or paying for their photocopies of their hands that they've tacked on the notice board, or paying for their friday drinks session, or their phone calls to their girlfriends to complain about their husbands.
And those cunts with clipboards on Tottenham Court Rd who get paid £10/hour + to try and con old ladies into donating £2 or more a month.

Um... not that it's any of my business, but what are you doing in drag? It's a valid lifestyle choice, don't get me wrong, but I'm just curious all the same.Aussie_Outlaw said:

OK, another.
We were restructured at work 6 months ago.
I was covering my job, and that of another technical specialist. They advertised, and found the only other guy in the country that could do the job (read, was smart enough to do the job, and dumb enough to accept the pay). He lasted 8 weeks before telling them to Jam it, and walked out.....I'm going for his old job at present.
So, they give the job as a development opportunity to a guy that they acknowledge has only 50% of the skills to do the job. And pay him the same as me.
As he used to work in my section, they call us together, and tell us that his workload will now be spread evenly between the remaining 4 of us.
Me : So you want us to do 25% more work !!!
Fuckwit boss : NO, I am not saying that.
Me : Well you wouldn't be saying that Ned (Flanders) does nothing all day
Fuckwit boss : No, I'm most certainly not saying that.
Me : Well you certainly wouldn't then be saying that because the G.M. wanted something, you created a position that didn't need to exist, purely to satisfy him ?
Fuckwit boss : most definitely not, that postion was required and valuable.
Me : so what is it you are saying here. It's not more work, but the guy worked hard, and the position was valid last week, but not this week, but was still necessary.
Fuckwit boss : we have to work Smarter, NOT harder.
Fortunately I had the Dogbert book of management in my bag, and quickly scanned to the appropriate cartoon, to show him.
I applied for another job today.

Oh, and fuckwit Taxi drivers, who shine their lights in our windows, and blow the horn at 2AM, waking the baby, when their fat arses could do with the 5 meter stroll to the doorbell.

I spend most of my day looking at my co-workers, trying to figure out which one of them writes Dilbert.

Nah, it's a 95% dead cert that I won't take it even if I get it.
Makes me feel good that I can sell my services to another company, and aren't railroaded (yet).
Makes my bosses nervous.
All good things.
I'll take you for a trip of the power stations too!!

Power stations kick ass. When I was a kid a mate took us to the sub-station at Picnic Point. That rocked.
