I'd do it and I'm not even a lawyer. :mrgreen:

I hate my job. I take care of the most difficult problems while my coworkers ignore them and when I ask my coworkers to help with them, I get blank looks and indifference.

I'm also rarely late, do what's asked of me, and always work as hard as I can, and when I ask for two measly weekends out of the year off two months in advance, I still have to work on one of them. Meanwhile, my coworkers (usually female) that are always late, call in sick frequently, and don't do much at work get their every request granted.

Blah. :banghead:

the crane i use at work is really annoying. it's flimsy in that when i'm moving a load the boom bobs up and down quite badly and when i stop slewing it rocks from side to side making manoeuvres difficult.

Dumbass boss thinks that our Hispanic coworkers are carriers of the swine flu... :shakehead:

That was a joke... :beatyou:

I don't think my knucklehead boss was joking.

managed to get the heater going in the drying room but the boss turned it off at home time so my boots (and everyone elses) were still wet this morning from yesterday's rain. :grumble:

:shamefulcry: I was paid less than that to work (if you don't count things like bonuses (which I never ended up getting...) and benefits). I'd happily take 3/4ths of that for a position right now :puppydog:

Ugh.. that's pretty terrible.

Yet not surprising from my boss... She wanted the two Hispanic women at work to get clean bills of health from their doctors. :shakehead:

Senility-induced paranoia.

I had to go to a Google Adwords seminar today. Apart from the ridiculous traffic, it was good to get out of the office for half a day. Plus I won a mini Maglite torch for answering a quiz question :)
