Worked in a Sawmill as a student - definitely the most knackering work.
Then I used to clean the outside of aircraft - Out in the middle of the night with a brush and a bucket of Dasic.
Actually quite enjoyed both jobs TBH.Comment

Rockcliff Computers - worked for a right ****** and also Sema at the home office in Liverpool. They were a bunch of w@nkers also. They were about 15 years ago and since then I'd say most of my contracts were okRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Without a shadow of a doubt the three weeks I spent at Huntress as an IT recruitment consultant were about the most miserable of my life.Comment

I did a bit of waitressing in my parents restaurant a few times, but I was pretty bad. Too clumsy and impatient.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

I spent a while heat sealing plastic linings in sewage installations; smelly, dirty, hot and generally unpleasant, but quite well paid at the time; almost 3 times minimum wage, which isn´t bad at 22. First job in IT was helpdesk for bookkeeping software; so boring and regimented (5 minutes per day allowed for visits to bog, only with permission) I almost went back to the sewage job, but then got a rather cushy analysts' job at the water board. Still took me about 4 years before I earned as much as I had in the sewer.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
