I don't 'float in and out of work'. I go wherever I need to be to do my job.



I think I explained how that works in my originally post.



I think pretty much everyone in 'office jobs' will have encountered more manual work at some point. From the ages of 16 until 22 I worked in factories, restaurants, builders yards and a couple of other places doing very long hours for quite a low wage. This helped pay for uni. The jobs I did were really, really hard work and I respect postmen for what they do. But wandering round delivering mail isn't really a skilled job is it? Most abled bodied people could do it, hence the low pay. I find what I do now more mentally challenging and need to be skilled to do what I do as I've spent a good few years learning and developing to get to my current role. Working in a builders yard as a labourer was hard, but I got to grips with in pretty quick, hence why it's low paid work.

I think you're falling in to the trap of thinking that harder your work is in terms of physcial effort then the more valuable it is and the more rewarding of higher pay you are, which isn't really the case.

You are now becoming very boring indeed, i dont really care... YAAWWWWNNN!!!!!

Seriously, newhomeowner, you don't do yourself any favours around here. If you're going to be abusive, at least do it with good spelling, decent grammar, wit and a certain style.

My spelling and grammars not very good, its a good job i dont get paid for it.

You like the picture though bendex?

Sorry to disappoint but Daddy is a farmer. Plowing and Scattering is not my scene at the moment...but may be nice to retire to at 45 or so.

BTW Some people earn (far) more and do better in life than you - Live with it.

And i thought my spelling was bad or is your dad american? ploughing in the uk is spelt like this, but you would know that coming from a farming backround wouldnt you?

The nearest you have been to farming is being a up hill gardener.:rotfl:

Interesting deflection. It speaks volumes.

'Ooops they have all found me out for the small minded, work shy quasi-socialist that I am....better post some juvenile pics!'

You are however correct in remarking that this is now rather boring. Having a proper argument with someone of your intelligence is nigh on impossible - I feel a bit like I'm punching a puppy in the face.

Gone

PS Please don't post a pic of someone punching a puppy in the face.
PPS Too many gay references tell a story. The closet door is open & I suggest you come out - my gay friends seem quite happy with life.
PPPS Congrats you have found the spell check function. Consider this day a Gold star day

Think of it in these terms. A battle between the Royal Mail and the CWU is a bit like a stegosaurus fighting with a brontosaurus. Two dinosaurs battling it out over some petty squabble that noone really cares about. But the only possible outcome is their mutual extinction caused, not by whatever it is they are fighting about, but by a changing environment.

Is it funny or sad? I'm not sure.

At the end of the day, I don't really care either.

So this union who it seems failed to meet its requirements before, are now planning another strike. What happens if this one doesn't work.
