Inspired by recent threads. Are you an AI level of empathy PIP assessor? A misogynistic policeman? A somewhat silly spy? A socially awkward IT person?

I've been a "Too young" nanny/au pair, A tour guide who is "Just having a free holiday" a barmaid...etc...

All nurses are party animals though...(just to get you all going)

Over-paid, over-pensioned, under-qualified, know-nothing who just gets in the way. We should all be sacked as we contribute nothing.

Lazy whingers, smirking from home.

Hate-filled goblin who works entirely for the benefit and protection of The Company while proactively seeking out opportunities to shit all over The People (blameless little angels with minty breath and shiny hair who always eat their vegetables). Any spare time is used to design new forms to aid in the screwing-over process. Oh, and practice our evil cackling in our fully kitted out torture dungeons.

Cushy, lovely job cuddling babies

Someone who only ever wants to snatch a baby from the arms of their parent amd apparently delights in doing so.

That I can splash a great big blatant lie all over the front page with no consequences whatsoever - and that I’d pay £6million for a kiss and tell about a nobody Z-lister 😂 I’m sure people are very disappointed when they find out actually my entire focus is around women’s health.

Anaesthetist

Correct, though I have never actually played soduko in my life (don't even know the rules) and I'm quite chatty, so I'm obviously not very good at my job!

Secretcabal · 31/12/2024 21:40

NHS management? Though you missed out clip board carrying if that's the case!
