    i used to work in an office that was full of jobsworths-it seems a lot of office workers find power in critism of other peoples minor errors---i hated it and that job because of the people around me=i enjoyed the actual work but not the people--i reckoned if i had a booth with no outside sound i would have been much happier!=maybe i am weird---no comments please

    Right now I feel the same way. I am sure she does it to make herself feel more important and invaluable!

    You wouldn't think I work on a building site... what's going on outside is more important then spelling errors! Spelling errors is not going to stop the build!

    The Boss shrugged it off because he knows it's pedantic.

    His brother just quit because he got fed up of feeling like a low class citizen by her...! She's only the main Administration bod!

    Only 9 weeks left to go on this contract is up...

    PS. I like weird... I'm weird! Who would want to be normal?
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

  • Afternoon everyone!

    Just popped in to say Hi to Jackie G-we missed you.

    I had my second guitar lesson lunchtime and I am pleased with my progress. My fingers hurt and I have had to cut my nails down really far on my left hand. Ouchie!

    The induction at the gym went well and the atmosphere was really nice there so I enjoyed the session. Those big rubber balls you sit on are weird. I was amazed when the instructor said I was really flexible. What moi?

    The guy came to read the gas and electric meters today. I had to throw everything out of the cupboard under the stairs........Oops!

    Not OS today as the gym and guitar session both cost. :eek:But the guitar lessons are quite reasonably priced-one tutor recommended cost £25 and hour and I am paying less than half of that. The gym is a Dr's referral and so is not expensive.

    I am not used to spending money on myself.

    Have a good evening everyone.

    JulieGeorgiana I know exactly how you feel. The job I have just left had the administrator from hell. Worse thing was the manager thought she was the bees knees and wouldn't have a word said against her. She made mine and most other peoples life hell:mad: A thoroughly nasty and unhelpful person

    Thanks you for words, I feel less alienated now :D

    The Director is like that though... just lets her get on with everything!

    She has to have her finger in every pie!

    But do you know what! I am going to spend the weekend with my little boy and my Husband, because I have something more important then spelling errors!

    Thanks x

    Meanwhile i will bet that your office mate will be sat there on her own doing nothing all weekend.

  • hello everyone

    have been at work but got sent home at lunch, my grandma died this morning, and needless to say i was very wobbly all morning.

    have spent the afternoon wandering around different s/markets looking at offers. only bought what i needed but still a bit tragic.

    not sure how i feel really, maybe a little in shock. Feel sorry for my dad, hes an only child and thats the last of his family.

    hope all are well x
