I was working at Bolton today. As my job involves a lot of speaking, I like to keep a bottle of water on hand, on my unused surveys (this is on a table next to some seats).

This has never been a problem before.

I go over with a catch to interview them, and find SOME F*CKER DRINKING MY ALREADY PARTIALLY DRUNK WATER!

I stood in shock, then managed a "That's my water!" To which he responded, "I thought someone had left it here, you should have said" and then put it down. After it had been in his gob, mind.

Eww. WHO DOES THAT? WHO DRINKS FROM A STRANGE BOTTLE THAT HAS EVIDENTALLY BEEN DRUNK FROM?

I had to bin it and was thirsty for the rest of the shift.


Also, I didn't realise I had a cut on my finger and now have chilli juice in it and it's burning

Our usual postie is on holiday this week and this one is an absolute joke. I got there at 8.45 this morning, and he/she (i've yet to see them) hadn't been. I went downstairs to do some orders at 9.30 and the cheeky f*cking c*nt had posted the post and put through a card "Tried to deliver 5 items at 8am, but you were out. Collect from the Post Office" ABSOLUTE LYING B*ST*RD. I am so overworked it's untrue and because of you being a lazy f*cker I have to go to the post office and queue for ages to get things you should have delivered, while I could be doing the other m,illions of things I have to do. I told the woman on the counter but she didn't give a f*ck. Tomorrow I might just do work in the hallway with the f*cking door open so i at least catch the b*gger.

AARGGHHH

Okay, background info. I designed a beam a week ago. He is now designing a beam for another house, but hasn't done one in a while so he's looking over mine.

He called me up again, and pointed out another thing which was wrong. But really it wasn't wrong. I skipped a step and saved myself about half an hours work because I knew if I selected Beam A, it would be wrong, and I'd have to redo everything and design for Beam B, and possibly Beam C. So I skipped a few steps, because I knew by looking at it, by f*cking looking at it, that I'd need Beam B.

So he calls me up saying I should have designed for Beam A instead of overspecifying. Gives me a patronising speech about how he knows I'm still getting used to it, and it takes a while before you can be confident in your calculations. So when he left to go out on site, I designed it using Beam A, and its wrong.

Motherf*cker I have surpassed you. The student has become the master. The master has become my b*tch. You haven't done a beam design in ages because I've been doing them all. I'm f*cking great at them. So f*ck you.

Sad part is, I can't tell him he's wrong. Because technically, I should have designed for Beam A. But when he tries it, he'll see I'm right. So f*ck him

When I have to do stuff like that, I do a rough explanation of why I skipped the steps, normally expressing some hokum calculations and a pointer at reducing time wasted...

I did. I pointed out why I skipped the steps. I said that while Beam A would pass on shear and bending moment, it would fail badly on deflection. I pointed out why. Then he just started on about how we should be trying to use as small a beam as possible, because its easier to install etc. I just checked, even a beam just a little smaller than Beam B fails. Even though I had a good feeling that it would, I wouldn't have been able to prove it there so I said nothing.

He's sly like that. He won't technically give out to you, he'll just 'explain the way we do things', so really you can't give out.

Another problem is, I sometimes check calculations on post-its first, just a quick check also in order to save time and pointless calculations. But I can't say that because I really shouldn't be doing it.

I'm going to wait and ask him how it worked out for him though, did he get it as a smaller beam

Just wait till something he designs with the wrong beam fails due to it being too small, sit back and say 'I told you so'


This is what got me with a TMA a while ago, I over specified on a cable needed for a hoist, but to give just above the required safety limit, since my attitude is to err on the side of caution rather than underspec a part or spec something that just falls within the exact parameters by some ridiculous amount... Suffice to say I was marked down because the cabling would increase production cost, despite me pointing out the reasoning (Such as prolonged life, decreased chance of metal fatigue when under full load, etc, etc.)

Turns out it was just that the bloke who told me to come down for an interview was a massive pervert, who I have lied to and told that I have another job and is STILL trying to get me to come and work for him.
He's actually really creepy.

I got that vibe off him, but he has a daughter of 18 and all that, I just assumed I was picking up something which wasn't there... but no.

Good god, I hate kids. Noisy, screaming brats. I have to put up with a lot of them in the museum job and it's all I can hear and they just scream and shout all the time and I wish they had a mute button.

The exception is at the Tate yesterday: there was this kid of about 1 or so, just walking and she was the happiest thing ever. Wouldn't stop laughing as she toddled to the door (which shut), back to the desk, back to the door and then kept looking through the door. That I smiled at. Every other kid can f*ck off.
