Boredom
Just found out that boredom can knock about 30 years off my life... Seriously considering going to the doctor and arguing points like this so they can
prescribe me a job where I do something....

 hope i didn't cause this 
what is it you do (except sit in a shed doing nothing)
is it supposed to be security or something? 16 hours a day is a loooooong time

don't write OT on a new thread title, you're creating the topic, everything you write is very much ON topic!

Yeah security, and yeah 16 hours is a stupidly long time, and I'm risking my job having this little to do here too!
Mind you I will have to argue that under section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work act 1974 my employer has a duty of care to my health, safety and
well being. I'm sure that being so bored I'm trying to break my arm isn't exactly fitting with this duty of care.

I would swop my job with yours then!!
mine is a full on 12 hours of shite, no lunch breaks or tea breaks, and sometimes to busy to even go for a pee
yes i know its highley illegal not to have breaks, but there answer is "tough, find another job then"
working in the airline community, for britains best airline, (not BA) , is not al its cracked up to be!!
Steve, and soon to be off sick with stress, assuming i live that long

The question that I used a year ago was do I have a job or a career?
Little did I know that within 12 months I would have turned my life round
For the better. Whilst I was at it I traded a lazy workshy wife for some one who is
More switched on than most. Ok it's cost a few bob and the toy box is empty
But know I'm happy and the new lass likes bikes and cars.
I like my work and I'm looking for a decent money position soon.
Yes you can change your life .......wife and job if needs must.
I'm certian you can do it two.

Hehe time for A career! As Chris Rock once said "In a career you look at your watch and think 'damn, 5.30, I best come in early tomorrow
and get all this done' but in a job you look at your watch and think 'damn, 9.15!'"
Yep looking for a new job, and tbh our time will come when the "if you don't like us raping you then get on the dole queue" attitude
doesn't work (getting quite likely as I now catalogue a list of laws they break  )

In fact here's one I've been noticing a lot, from self-employed (why?) vacancies in the jobcentre:
"The Company has given an assurance that this vacancy enables workers to achieve a wage equivalent to the National Minimum Wage."
Why 'equivalent to'? Why not 'more than' or are we supposed to be able to live on £5.95?
