Hoping to cheer myself up as had a crap week!

So I'll start...

This week so far I got called a fing c**t, had a chair thrown at me, had a book thrown at me and been spat at.

Any guesses what I do for a living?

I live on Champagne and Canapés, travel a lot and meet Royalty and Presidents. Or that’s what the Daily Mail thinks.

I work with people who people hate for doing something/not doing something - they can't win

Endless meetings

Teenagers

I don't just give out information or tell them where they can do BTEC performing arts

it's niche

I argue for a living and am the butt of many jokes.

You're the commercial building manager we lease our London office space from.

Things I’ve said in the last week:

I found this on the floor and it has no name on it. Whose is it?

If you like him, use your words to tell him. We don’t lick ears.

Stop! When I said “take everything off and hang it on your peg,” I meant your hat, gloves, coat and scarf. Think for a minute please!

No, I wasn’t born in time to see the Great Fire of London. But thank you for that.

Fairly obvious I think but extra points for pinpointing ages!!

@moggerhanger : insurance?

I tell people information they don't want to hear, and tell them to spend money they don't have, on things they don't think are going to happen.

This week I've extracted fluids from people, looked at various parts of the body, pricked fingers, been offered numerous cups of tea and listened to lonely people

BethTalk2thehand90spodcast · 17/01/2024 22:11

Seems to be a few of us on here, but if I didn’t already have kids, I’d have to think very carefully about having them!

Wow, must be a scary job sometimes!

AsanteSana · 17/01/2024 22:13

Spent my days in the cold, dodging needles, piles of dog shit and general human detritis, been accused of wasting public money, and being lazy and fitting a stereotype, thanked by one or two appreciative people and been unable to eat my lunch due to the aforementioned dog shit sneakily attaching itself to my clothing, boots and exposed skin surfaces...

5 people told me they hated me today but only 2 people bit me. Only one person cried and 3 moaned about their bill. Standard.

Today I put together some orders/instructions on how to take care of someone else’s country until the people who live there can take care of it themselves.
