    Christmas suddenly feels like a load of f**kin sh*te. Holidays are one thing, but with Christmas you've got skeleton staff who are too busy with their own stuff because they're on their own and then other's work which is stacking up for them to go through after holiers. At least with summer holidays there are enough people there to look after eachother.. I hate new years.

    Lazy dogs. Get some work done, the day'll fly by. Or give me your office number and I'll divert some of our bastard'n customers looking for containers, and then you'll know the meaning of work/stress/compulsions to kill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Hmmm worked straight since the 14th of december....... a minimum of 4 hours a day.

    Working as a supervisor in a petrol station is so much fun..... Thank god its only a holiday job.


    John


    P.S. made about 2100 Euro in that time TBH.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭blondie83


    I'm working at ten in the morning on new years day, I mean why would any shop even be open at that time on new years day? So glad I've handed in my notice to that place, I can't wait to be a non working student bum again! I don't usually end up getting bad hang overs, but if I do I'll probably just end up calling in sick:dunno:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,754 ✭✭✭Big Chief


    yeh same, got in at 8:30 sharp this morning, working like a trojan in the vain attempt that they might let us away early today

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,828 ✭✭✭robo


    Yeh have been working the last 3 days, but from 6pm today I am off until Monday...Yipppeeeee:cool: :cool: :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    I'm in again today!! But it is by choice, I do not want to use up Holidays just to sit around watching crap telly or to fight my way thru loads of biddies for "not so special" Sale prices.

    Oh and I think I'll bugger off early today as well :D
    Gandalf.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭Lex_Diamonds


    Im sitting here and the place is DEAD. Hmmmm, to **** off home at lunch or to not **** off home at lunch...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Hmmm the manager said I was to decide tonight if we stay open till 9pm or 10pm.... I'm sure the staff will love me if I say at 8pm that we are staying open for an extra hour. Hopefully it'll be quiet enough to warrent closing.
