Thanks, Yogi!

Its a good job the peeps I work for aren't in the Driving Tuition business. Imagine turning up for the 1st lorry driving lesson: 'there you go, son. Here's the keys - be gentle with her.'

lol

although a bad day in a job you don't like is actually a good thing... it makes you go home and apply for more jobs.

Well thats what i found when i worked at the bank anyway.

That's right, Rexi!

So many of us have been let loose dealing with client's files with little or no direction (they're all too busy to help out effectively) that no wonder the call centre is inundated with calls and complaints.

what sort of company do you work for progs?

What on Earth did you do, Yogi? Sell some mortgages to a few peeps could not repay?!

Rexi - thanks!

Onetoo - what type of work are you in now? the last I heard you were made redundant from a well known supermarket.

Today went better but it was oh, so dull continuing with the endless spreadsheet. I work in a busy open plan office and the area where I sit is also a fairly busy thoroughfare so all day its full of smug numpties with a sense of self-importance trampling though. Annoying when you are trying to concentrate.

Sometimes you can even feel the floor bend down a little like its about to give way when someone who is a bit, ahem, 'generously proportioned' walks past - almost like being in a bouncy castle!

lol progs i worked for a very large bank "sir fred the shreds" bank

There were procedures in place for large withdrawals which meant that over a certain amount they couldn't get it there are then. When i told them they couldn't get their money there and then the common response was

"The recession is your fault and now you won't give me my money" I assume when they said your they meant the bank

I felt like saying no no no the recession is NOT my fault... i shop... i shop ALOT and i am therefore very very good or the economy...don't believe me? check mybank balance and try and open my cupboard without being drowned in "things"

Onetoo are you an english me i used to work at a well known supermarket too *pats bum*

Haha Yogi. Nope, lets just say it was the only safeway to shop and when I left there were more reasons to shop there

Proggers, I'm working again (just since march though) in admin for a training provider

Ah - I briefly worked for one of the mortgage companies they bought from Richard Branson. they have offices and a call centre quite close to where I live. The team manager I worked for didn't like me much because I never kiss her a**.

I suspect one or two managers where I work now aren't too keen on me for the same reason. They can go and take a long jump as far as I care because I'm there to do a job, not kiss a**!

Great stuff! It seemed like you enjoyed your redundancy.

Only trouble was..there wasn't much money left at the end of it
