worst job!
I just had to tell someone....I was driving earlier and I think I have seen the most boring job in the world......
Washing traffic cones, on the road, with a bucket of water and a cloth.
The poor chap had about 2 miles of them to do -- I wonder if there is a market for a machine to do this?

Re: worst job!
That must have been some sort of punishment, surely, not a job! Even my job's not that boring

But the stuff I work on is very boring compared to Cumulus. Our main customers are government departments, mainly HMRC and DWP.

Re: worst job!
Flippin' 'eck! I work for the MoD. Do you want me to put a good word in for you? What exactly is it that you do? You'd have to be better than EDS aka Atlas! They've taken over control of our IS infrastructure including all PCs and they run like dogs now!!steve wrote:I'm a software developer Our main customers are government departments, mainly HMRC and DWP.daj wrote:You're going to have to tell us now!

Re: worst job!

Brilliant -- so true. EDS would bring it in way over budget and several years late!RayProudfoot wrote:Can't be EDS - your software and infrastructure works!!

Re: worst job!
This morning they've announced that they plan to make 10% of the UK staff redundant, so I may not have a boring job for much longer anyway

Re: worst job!
The bit I work for is making quite large profits, but the worry is that they say they will be targetting areas which have "excess capability", and due to a cockup with the budget last year, I (and a number of my cow orkers) spent a lot of time not being allowed to do any real work as there was no budget for it. But still getting paid. No, I don't understand how the bean counters operate either.daj wrote:Fingers crossed you are not affected
Oh well: Que sera, sera

Re: worst job!
Ah - it was deliberate. It's a 'standard' typo, popularized by Scott Adams.
