I've had a shockingly stressful day at work today. Tell us about your worst day at work ...

Are you taking the piss? I work with the Single most biggest, 24 carat solid gold, genuine, bona fide f**king asshole on the face of the Earth. Each day I catch myself daydreaming about grabbing him by the shirt collar and punching his f**king face into a bloody unrecognisable pulp.

"Agood day at work"?? I've forgotten what one of those is.

Dunno. But I received a memo from our Aviation Safety Officer today. I was totally unaware that our establishment aviated anything, so it made the day far more enjoyable.

OK ... by "best day at work" can = "worst day at work". Let the vitriol rock and roll.

He's not my actual boss. He's the new boss of the department that (as a sub contractor) I have to work in for "easier customer liason" . And he's getting worse by the hour. However, I have been making plans and sorting out an alternative for the last couple of weeks, hence my fewer posts on here lately. Hopefully about another 4 to 6 weeks and I'm outta there.

Maybe he follows your employees on SouthWest, to make sure they don't choke on their Pretzels.

I love my job. Absolutely love it.

...you just happen to ask when I'm in the middle of the toughest, most stressful time in my career. Ask me again in about 6 weeks, after I've had my 2-week break in the UK

I'm just bored

I'm okay when out in the field, but when I'm sat at my desk, supposed to be writing an effing powerpoint presentation, I just want to SCREAM!

Either that or eat too much chocolate. Or post nonsense on BE.
