I had to do a test to get into this job. From the day i did the test, it took about a year until i was actually placed here. Was working in Iceland before that which was really shit, so quit and had to go on the dole for a few months cos i had no idea when this job would come up.
Leaving at 4 o'clock today. Work with flexi, so can turn up when i want and go home when i want

You think argos was bad - i was made to go into the freezer for up to 4 hours at a time with shitty coats and holes in my gloves. Freezer was minus 18 i think. Even on a very cold day when i came out the wind etc all felt roasting

well last year when we had the really hot weather we had to swap people in the upstairs stock room every 30mins cause you just couldnt breath up there it was hell. all we had were 2 shitty fans to blow the hot air at you and they were supposed to cool down the whole of the stock room which was massive.
in the end the fans died. but they never did get air con lol.

Aye theres a limit to the temperature you can work in - obviously in a freezer doesnt count. There is a limit on how cold it can get, but not how hot. Sounds crap mate, our office gets a bit warm and thats annoying enuf

just an admin assistant - basically send forms to business asking what they make and then input the data into the computer. Not a great job but so easy like.
Have applied for a promotion, but seeing as it took me a year to get here, god knows.
Time for me to go on one of my half hour breaks here, then come back sit about for half an hour and go home not that im bragging lol.
