I was one of those poor buggers that had to be at the Bus Stop by 7:30 am to get the bus into Manchester and walk for 30 mins to my office building...
I seriously do not miss those days....especially when it was dark when I went to work and dark when I left (usually about 6 ish), I felt like a bleedin Vampire....

Re: Seattle Caffiene Freaks
I always wanted a job with the Council as I guessed all they did was just sit around and do nothing....now you've just confirmed it....

Re: Seattle Caffiene Freaks
Council jobs are gggreat!!! Loads of benefits too. Good pay scales. Lots of scope for advancement flexi-time with up to thirteen extra paid days off a year for very little effort. If you are young and single there are no end of shag opportunities with the almost nightly after work birthday drinks, anniversary drinks, wedding drinks, new job drinks, new jumper drinks and plain old drinks after work drinks. And lots of tea!!!
