I reached my 'Duck it' point at work today

Blue Badger

It was a long day. One of those days in which you never get your own work done because things in other areas keep going wrong and you have to help other departments etc.

Anyway, roughly around four of the clock this afternoon everything (after much effort) suddenly went tits up... And genuinely through no fault of my own.

And so I reached my 'duck it' point. I said 'duck this' to myself...

...I'm going to the canteen to listen to the radio for half an hour with a ham sandwich, a mint aero, and a nice big cupán tae.

And suddenly the world wasn't so damn grim anymore.

Anyone else had something similar?

What do you do at work when you reach that point and need to get away from it all before you lose your mind?

My profession is to deal with crises/emergencies when they arise. So I don't really have that option.
I enjoy it though. I like being able to mould calm out of a complete sh1tstorm.

Never work a job you can't walk out on in five seconds flat.

That's my recipe for a happy life.

Do your best, do what you do do well, treat the job well for as long as it treats you well, but the minute, no, the second, you realise you're not getting as much out as you put in, walk out that fcuking door. I've walked out of a job the exact day I was due a bonus that was more than most salaries, and I've never regretted it one bit.

No that was just stupid, I'm sure the company was devastated they didn't have to pay you such a large amount of cash.

They can be as devastated or as joyous as they want, the minute you start working for them instead of yourself is the minute you sell your soul, brother

Every time I have to wax around the poo on someone's arse hole I have a duck it moment.

Did they ever get a hard on at that moment?

You really showed them. What your preaching sounds pretty silly. Why would you tell anyone to not wait a day to quit in order to receive a bonus bigger than most peoples salaries? I call bull****.

He is on the gargle I'd say.

The important part is, he was due a bonus. And it was bigger than most people's salaries. Must be a real important guy

Didn't realise bonuses were so good for footing turf.

I may be wrong (and making a leap) but wouldn't people of this ilk probably be engaging in anal activity and such people would be fairly well versed on rectal hygiene? Maybe they're new to the anal club and you might be popping their waxing cherry before the other cherry is popped. Could be considered an honor really.....

I felt sick reading this.

I have a heard a few horror stories from a few beauty therapists. Shocking the amount of dirty creatures out there and a lot of the time they are impeccably made up, hair done but unveil nasty dirty feet, and worse.

Your recipe for a happy life is based on a line from a 90's heist movie? And your regurgitation of catchy lines from 90's heist movies should be preached in schools?

Yeah, there have been crap moments but as I generally really enjoy what I do I hang in there.

Backwards by name, backwards by nature.

That's the most retarded thing I've heard in a long, long time. There are only 2 real options here i'm afraid .
Spoofer or idiot.

Can you not throw them out and tell them to wash their smelly hole before looking for a waxing or else drip scalding wax onto their manky bumhole? :P

My neighbour tells me that he has an afternoon spank in work to alleviate the stress of his job.

I'm not sure what he does for a living and I don't know how that ever came into a conversation?
