If it's only near your arse I think you might want to see a doctor.

Depends on how strong the curry last night was.

You are a lazy good for nothing git for not sticking it out for an easy life. You should see this as a challenge and building your character and man management.

You have no choice feel the fit 17 year old.

Definitely good for nothing, and I'm pretty sure the easy life is what I want to go back to. If I wanted to be a builder I'd buy lego to make my character. I can barely manage to have five clean shirts a week, I shouldn't be in charge of others.

Those are the exact qualities you need to be a manager, don't you get it.

Pfft, give him mod powers and he thinks he's Carlos Tevez.

Yeah they gave me the powers but no tutorial on how to use them. I can frankly do next to nothing about the things that I should be!

As for Tevez, I'm chuffed you'd compare me to a West Ham legend!

They would also know that I was lying if I brought my marriage into it. They all know that I am not married. I think if I tried to suggest that I would definitely be fired!

In that case go for the marriage excuse. The ultimate mindfuck.

Okay, so two months have passed, I'm still miserable and pissed off with how shit the job is. Targets are ridiculous, the person I'm replacing still hasn't left, and I've just spent two days with the Norovirus pondering how much better off I would be if I was on the toilet somewhere else.

Still not really doing my full job, still want to ask for a transfer, and depressed about the whole thing. The person I'm replacing recently survived her disciplinary hearing and is likely to be there for a few more months, so I think I can press my case now while the iron is hot.

Asked for a transfer today...my manager admitted that the situation sucked and that they shouldn't have recruited me with everything up in the air about the person currently doing my job.

Meeting with regional manager on Wednesday to try and convince me to stay, but hopefully should be getting back somewhere things aren't so shit fairly soon. Went in on a day off today to have the discussion, and also giving up some time on Wednesday from my lieu day, but if it works out then it'll be well worth it.

Good luck. Sounds like they want to keep you happy, so that is a good sign.

Good luck, what took you so long ?
