[arry]

8.20 - get in, wait for coffee machine to warm up
8.30 - have coffee, embrace the fact it will be the last chance you get until 5.15 :(
9.00 - team leaders into board room; spend 3 hours discussing what could have been agreed in 5 mins if you had just men in the meeting and no girly chat
12.00 - eat a sarnie and try not to be sick as the sandwich man has cocked up ur order
1.00 - puuuuuuuuuub :D
2.00 - return back to work to find someone has dumped the contents of their problem pile on your desk cos they are incompetant
3.00 - find the above offender and make them eat the contents of their problem pile. Put name forward to bosses who should, in theory, sack them - but they never do
4.00 Meeting with bosses re: performance charts/statistics/work levels and indicators - where the problems lie
5.00 finish up whatever paperwork i have left and tidy up a touch
5.15 walk to the car and drive home (this happens occasionally without incident or AA truck)

My word my job sucks balls :(

[NissanNewbie]

Wake up at 5.45 am in a freezing cold tent with 9 other blokes, get up get showered and dressed, again in a tent but i`m only allowed 5 minutes of cold water so i have to wash in stages.
Go to breakfast to be treated to typical american slop, scrambled eggs still swimming in water, black bacon (no idea where they get this from) hash browns, french toast and breakfast gravy, hopefully an american may well explain to me what the hell your doing eating gravy with breakfast?????

Get into a 12 seater mitsubishi minibus with 11 other people all wearing combat body armour and helmets, and proceed to work over dirt tracks liberally sprinkled with speed bumps, assuming we don`t have a blow out on the way, i then get into work have a coffee and check my emails.

Collect weapon for daily cleaning then return it to armoury when it`s done then proceed with primary task, which as a maintenance technician generally means sitting around waiting for operators to break it, or moan that it`s not working when they have either pressed the wrong button or forgotten to press the button at all. Faults ensue for rest of day keeping me busy, then i will get my own back by storming into one of the equipment cabins, collecting all open topped cups full or otherwise and launching them through previously open door while :rant: ing my tits off about the fact open topped cups aren`t allowed around multi millions pounds worth of digital and electrical equipment, see many stunned faces (all of them outrank me considerably) chuckle to myself and leave to have lunch which is generally fried and generally shit.

Repeat in afternoon with possibility of some administrative tasks, taking a dump in a portaloo, fighting off mosquito`s chasing mangy dogs out of ration stores with rocks, hitting camel spiders with spades, you get the general idea.

Return back to warm loving environment of tent, hoping some jack bastich hasn`t forgotten to change the ACU from cool to heat otherwise it`s freezing, collapse on bed........Sleep

Rinse and repeat, though only for another day cos then i get to do nights, where i get to stand outside for a whole 2 hours with a gun in the freezing cold watching yanks drive about in hummers laughing at us....................which is nice.

Hope that about covers it.

Cheers
with love from iraq

[deej-79]

Youll get used to it, I dont think its black bacon, I think its burnt!

I will be in Qatar in a few months, I expect the same there.

Heres a little joke for ya

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost..... She lowered altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man consulted his GPS and replied, "You're are in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude." "You must be enlisted," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far." The man responded, "You must be an officer." "I am", replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You are lost due to your own incompetence and negligence but you want to blame someone else. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

[NissanNewbie]

Your organisation is totally different to ours, or rather the american air force`s is.

WTF is services about?? we have chefs and PTI`s and Administrative staff, it`s all under the blanket of services as far as i can make out.

So the sweaty bloke pumping the iron one minute, could be dripping the same sweat into your burger an hour or two later.

LOVELY

lol@joke heard it before but replace officer with operator and enlisted man with engineer/technician

We are all grouped into Squadrons. Services is the biggest joke Sqdn there is. They employ the people working in the gyms, chow halls, clubs, and I think they mostly run the BX and shopettes as well.

, up all hours allways in the rain. :(

[Dai D]

Ooops ! how did that happen :confused:

[SteA]

Had loads and loads of crap jobs before deciding to go back to university.... so now really appreciate what I do


Now... 2.5 days I lecture, which is nice cos all the students are intelligent and I do mostly practical stuff..... so coffee, chatting, demonstrating and finish usually by 1500...

2.5 days I work in a clinic as Sports Medicine and rehab specialist, mostly treating Joe Public (which includes big, small, smelly, stupid etc) then there are all the special times when we have the theatre companies in town, from chicago, oh what a night, such hard work treating loads of female dancers. Well, its a dirty job.....

Also have to do lots of research stuff in spare time :thumbs:

I think my worst ever job was when I spent 4 months writing post codes onto envelopes, but at least it was warm and didnt have americans mocking me.

[ATrull]

my working day:

7:20 Wakeup
7:30 get out of bed, gah. I loath this.
shower,dress etc, look at a cup of water to drink, consider how hungry I will be in two hours and maybe force some food down my throat.

8:20ish walk to station
8:30ish (ish!) catch a train or tube
random annoying stops on the way past the m25 and into london
9-9:30 arrive in marylebone or bakerstreet .. if the public transport deems it a day to make the timetables look accurate.
9:30 catch a bus sarfwards past victoria (2,82,74, bleh)
10:00 get into work.

-- look busy, make improvements, look at compsec lists.. freebsd-security etc.

11:00 get hungry, consume a small bit of food and some sort of warm liquid

-- more looking busy, email etc. call people if things need fettling.
-- fettle things for people who've made requests
-- check people's email is still being delivered. duh. people are so worried about their precious email.
-- occasionaly answer calls from angry women asking why their lesser halves or kids are having a virtual shag over sms with a robot, and what they can do to stop this.

13:30 get ravenous , feed.

14:30 generaly get back to work

-- call colt and ask them why our leased five-figure-sum(!)/annum line has failed once more at this time of day. .... grr!, switch to the immesurabley more stable ADSL line.
-- visit sxoc :)
-- herrings. (listen to some music to calm me while I toil upon the wheel group on my network of servers)
-- wonder why backup media you need to restore seems to suddenly be mislabeled

5:30 lose interest in work, want to go home
6:00 leave office.
6:15 having waited around, I finaly catch a bus northwards again (2, 436, 36, 82)
might switch busses to 74, 82, 2 at marble arch to get to bakerstreet 'n marylebone.
work out which will be quickest (train or tube)
.. walk to either bakerstreet or marylebone from a bus stop near both.

catch a sardine-can-packed tube or train back to my home station, walk home.

if it's pissing down I sometimes drive to the station. 2 quid saving a day if I don't. :)

1:00 bed, eventualy

I really hate being a wageslave. Must think of something better to do with myself. really.
That said, it's time for bed! :)

Think I'll turn the BBS off tomorrow and watch a 200% increase in national productivity.

I work 7am - 7pm, 7pm - 7am and work 2 weekends on and 2 off :(

6am get up, sss
6.30 got to work
7.00 get coffee and go outside in the cold and start to check all of the equipment in the ambulance, then check all the blue lights, normal lights tyres etc.
7.30 find something wrong with the ambulance, call the workshops asking what to do about it to be told if i think that it's ok (like i'm a mechanic, then ask them if i should call them when i'm with a patient and ask them what i should do!!)
7.32 out on an emergency, usually to a granny farm, then to other calls for the next 11 hours, usually a load of crap. Occasionally i have to do some real work involving giving drugs, sticking people with needles, getting covered in blood, getting sworn at, spat at, people trying to punch me.
7pm, hopefully back at the station (usually a late finish though) off home.
7.30pm dinner, shower, t.v., sxoc.
10pm bed :sleep:
