No windows in office

Worst one was job no. 3 where I had a cupboard for stationery and within that cupboard was another cupboard which housed the saniflow system. Which kept getting blocked up because a saniflow system was not suitable for the number of persons using the facilities. So not only did I have not window in my little office but on a regular basis it also stank of poo. Nice.

I'm sorry to admit that I laughed at your predicament.:o:D

I've also had some challenging working conditions in my time. I've worked in a tiny [STRIKE]cupboard[/STRIKE] room (with no windows) and it was a joy (NOT) to work in a warehouse type building with snow blowing inside in the winter.:(

I always try to sit near or opposite a window in business meetings and health appointments etc. I wouldn't chose to work or spend lots of time in a room without a window.;)

And no doubt you will have dinner tonight despite the fact that a significant part of the world's population is starving.

So remind me what your point was?

I won't rise to your bait. You'll have to try harder than that.

Is this a wind up?

Is this all some people have to moan about?

I went to the Paralympics last week to watch the swimming. One guy had no arms and won his heat. This s a guy who can't feed himself, dress himself, use a phone, turn the TV channel or even wipe his own backside and people are moaning about windows in offices.

Get real for Christs sake.

a) So we can't moan if someone somewhere is worse off than we are? By your logic only one person in the world can moan, and I doubt he'll be able to.

b) I must remember to ask you in three or four months time what disability sports you watched that week. I mean a big paralympics advocate like yourself is surely not a bandwagon jumper who will have forgotten all about it an a few weeks.

I will trade you poo for chlorine, I worked at a certain 4star hotel oop north and the finance office was in the basement next the swimming pool, and the fumes used to leak into our office, we used to make comments about gas chambers and hitler, official advice was when your eyes stream or the headaches kick in you could take a 5 min break outside! Thank goodness it was only a temp job, they were surprised when I turned down their offer of a permie job.

For my first job, I worked in a radioisotope processing laboratory in a hospital. We worked well away from patients through several 'layers' of walls, doors and safety barriers.

Our laboratory had windows......which looked onto an internal corridor.

Working early day shifts, I started at 07:00 and left in the late afternoon.

In Winter, I only saw sunshine at the weekends.

And I imagine coal miners and tube drivers on the circle line don't get a lot of daylight either.

Not sure what your problem is but I bet it's very difficult to pronounce.

The point they are making is that you could pretty much respond to any complaint on this entire forum with something like "Your problems aren't as bad as paralympians/children starving in Africa/[xxx other serious issue]".

But it's an utterly pointless response.

Just because there are other more serious issues than a problem raised here does not mean they should not feel able to raise such questions.

It's always very tedious when someone tries to "win" any debate by raising a totally unrelated but more serious topic.

"I've been passed over or promotion again because the boss got his friend to-"
"Shut up! They had a typhoon in the Philippines yesterday! So you can't complain about your job."

For reference the logical fallacy you have fallen into is known as Red Herring.
