Well yes and no. I left a job I hated a while back. Maybe it's the same people Steveaki is working for... they were ruthless slave drivers.
But I was not getting jobs I was applying for. Jobs well within my reach and experience level. But then out of the blue someone calls me and says his boss wants to talk to me. So I got a job I wasn't looking for. And that has happened no less than three times now, all within the same industry/trade. I guess I should accept that it is my long term destiny and that I'm good at it, as people come looking for me.
What is the worst job you ever worked?
-
Well although I love gardening and will work in it again, this job is probably the worst so far. I have had worse things to do, but as a temporary worker. So there was no demands or stress. This is something I enjoy, but the company and way its run and the boss make it horrible.
What is your dream job?
-
Beer taster? :D
No specific job, but one that is challenging and different. I get bored easily and doing the same thing everyday is not fun to me. I work to live and don't live to work, so I am not driven like some people. Though I've always given good value to the companies I've been at.
Do you prefer a straight salary or a smaller salary plus earned bonus?
-
For a certain period of time we had that small salary+monthly bonus system. Problem was that the bonus wasn't registered in our personal working record and it means it can't be taken into account for pension. Then the sums were distributed not according to our work but to the boss's simpathies and it was another reason of stress. Due to a strike ( the already small salary was cut by 25% and the bonus was no more) we managed to get a straight salary ( small one+ a fix part representing bonus). Maybe sometimes it's less than in the past but at least we're sure we get it and the stress of preferential share disappeared.
What's the worst thing about your current job?
-
The Boss. Can't guess what her mood will be from one minute to the next, stress when she is around.
What time did you get up this morning?
I was up at 5:45 and out the door for a 75 mile round trip at 6:20am
-
Woke up as usual at 6.00. But couldn't leave the bed before 10.00.
Have you ever touched holy relics? :devil:
-
Yes, my socks from two years ago, Not only were they holey relics, they smelled bad too.
Are you religious?
-
Yeah.....I worship Saint Starter. Whose dirty socks smell is perceived even in Book a Rest. Isn't it a miracle?:devil:
Have you ever attended a pilgrimage? :devil:
-
Nope can't say I have.
Do you wear smart clothes or casual most of the time?
-
Casual clothes almost all of the time. (Smart clothes aren't available yet, but with smart watches already on the market they can't be too far away. :D)
Long hair or short hair on men and women?
