ArcticJambo Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Nowt wrong with that. It's the folk - students, mainly - who sit with their laptops out and a coffee that was finished about two hours previously. Oh, and I had a moan at the staff in Starbucks recently because the half-price frappuccino deal was only between 3 and 5pm - I enquired what offers there were for folk who had jobs. First World Problem, I know. very Too many ***** take us for granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Women who mime-talk to each other. There's two in my office doing it just now, having a full conversation, most likely bitching about another woman on the floor, across a desk without making any sound whatsoever (which is a good thing, obviously but it's still irritating), just purely through mouth movements and I don't get how they do it.

Snake Plissken Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Prospective employers taking the piss. I interviewed for a large corporation that places teachers in schools here in Japan. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into and was prepared for some bullshit but they managed to surpass my expectations of shiteness. I was pretty sure I was going to get placed at a shite school no-one wanted to go to and I was fine with that for six months. Sure enough I was placed in some school a way out in a town in the north east of the island I live on I was told I could get a Shinkansen (bullet train) pass that would make it a reasonable commute of about 45 minutes. I felt I could hack that and accepted a six month contract. Now, a couple of days before I'm supposed to start they tell me I have to get a local train as they won't pay for the bullet train (they are obscenely expensive). I was sent a proposed itinerary that involved catching a train at my city's main station (about twenty minutes away from my flat) at 6.11 am a local train takes much, much longer than the bullet train and would see me arrive at a transfer station at 7:40. I'd finally get there at 8:10 and it's a bit of a hike to the school. I'd have to leave my place at about 5:30 am to get there for 8:30 - a three ******* hour journey and then the same again to get home. I told them they either pay for the bullet train or find someone else. I'm seething they thought I'd accept what is essentially a fourteen-hour day for a pretty average salary with no benefits. Time-wasting pricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
