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 get people showing me random bits of metal and asking me what they are and if we sell them, and also asking for advice on plumbing, electrical and gas things, even though I'm not qualified to answer on any of those things, (but people in those fields are our main customer base.)

TA. Close enough!

@Lannielou I bet you do - I'm guessing it's the verity, the feeling of making a difference and a bit of autonomy

Yes. But also very rewarding at times too. A very mixed bag!

Kids make noises at me. Sometimes lots of kids together. Sometimes on their own.

@edissa @autienotnaughty @Piglet89 you're all pretty close - I'm a risk manager. A job where if you do it competently, nobody will ever know 🤣

I find spaces, employ and train hundreds of people on very short notice and move around LOTS of pieces of paper and boxes.

Are you an Elections Officer?

Today I have met with two rapists and two people who have committed violent offences. I suspect that at least one of those was under the influence of drugs, one under the influence of alcohol and one is an active drug dealer. I have no ability to prove any of this but I will be held responsible if shit hits the fan.
I have tried to source accommodation for one of them and referred for mental health support for another. Neither of those will be available although with the cold weather my rough sleeper will be given somewhere to sleep for the next few nights (in a communal lounge at a hostel).

houselikeashed · 17/01/2024 22:27

@ghostyslovesheets nope. Louder noises.
