    Just lately i have come to detest going to work , i don't know if its nights or the fact i have been doing the job for 8 years and i am just bored with it .

    i have never been a sherker i love working; but somehow this job has begun to get on my manboobs , its just so damn boring , we have nice trucks easy; set runs a decent wage and decent bosses but its so tedious , i used to work in the building trade where i could solve problems , get in on design , planning etc , but i just hitch up my trailer get on the motorway and turn on the cruise control until the exit junction - good god a trained monkey could do it - in fact i think a lot of trained monkeys work for some of the bigger hauliers already :(

    RANT OVER - as you were :-[
     
  2. Career change?
     
  3. I'm so bored of mine too (9years)
    However I would be screwed without it.
    Just think your lucky to have one.
    Going to a leaving do tonight (redundancy) and theres a joint redundeancy one next week :(
     
  4. Yes, at least it is a job. Some people have been unemployed for ages ;)
     
  5. You are one year late with the 7 year itch, I am informed by recruiters that it is a common feeling to look for an alternative job after or around the 7 year period.......I hate my job also mate, and I work from home !
     
  6. I'd swap with you any day Malc.

    The thought of being out on the road all day away from the office politics and crazy 180 degree turns in various strategies is very appealing. I could do with a nice dollop of tedium right now, been here 12 years with a major change every 3.
     
  7. well im going to be unemployed soon and its all my choice, i wasnt in the bracket for redundancy so i put my notice in, i will be officially unemployed in september :) i have done 14 years in the same job deffo time for a change

  13. I've started a little electrical business. Having paid out thousands for all the various papers, testers, tools, advertising etc. To be honest it's not that creative work. Maybe I could get into king mad Tesla installations instead :))

    Cheers

  15. If you hate your job Malc you should consider doing something you think you will enjoy, life's to short to live to work and not enjoy it. This grateful to have a job culture we live in these days, all the government want is your tax etc, they don't care if you have a life or enjoy what your doing. I decided one day after seeing things happen to people, friends, family/work alcoholics that wasn't very nice, life is not all about work, i had my own business for over 25years and all i did was chase and cover arse for people who didn't know what they were doing, i thought I'm not enjoying this, do i need this , the answer was no. So i did a few sums and said right that's me I'm outa here. I'm not doing exactly what i want at mo because of my injuries and pending op but when i do, i most certainly am gona enjoy what i do. Some may be thinking lucky old you to be able to do that, i worked hard, and had all the frills but didn't have the time to enjoy them , so now i do it the otherway round and i know which i prefer. Life's a bitch then you die, alot say, i say enjoy life and do the best you can while you can.!! Have i just ranted lol well your too nice a bloke ta be hating ya job. Enjoy ya yorkies anyway lol. :)) :))
