Smell

Finally, I've left work.
Not for good mind you, just left one job for another, in fact, I've left a really shitty job (obviously I'm wearing shit tinted glasses here), for a job that is going to be absolutely fantastic (yep, wearing rose tinted glasses).
The litany of whats gone wrong at this current job is as long as my arm. what, you've got time to listen to me moan - ok then, settle down.
Lets start with the juicy stuff - my manager is shagging one of the admin girls, and a job has been created for her that sees her in a junior position to me, but getting paid more, more perks (if you don't count the horrible bruises to the inside of her thighs) and less work to do. Grrrrrrr
incompetence - aside from letting all your staff know your shagging the girl in admin, just one example - when I have to book leave - I have to record it in seven different locations - online with admin, in my desk diary, in my online desk diary, in the admin diary, in the inspection diary and on two wall calendars.
Broken promises - I suppose all employers do this - tell you one thing in your interview and change their mind once your employed - I gave them two and a half years to come up with the training and the type of work I was promised - it never materialised.
Self Interest - I'm a public servant - as are my managers - but when I see them actively trying to undermine our service and promote their own private interests it sickens me that I pay taxes to keep these people in a job (Complaints are logged with my MP and local Councillor)
Ugly people - I've never worked with such ugly people I have to shower when I get home just to wash the ugly smell off me.
racism, sexism, elitism - all the ism's: it's rife at Southwark Council - if your the wrong face you wont get promoted, wont get the same treatment others do - it's disgraceful.
ok - for those that don't know me - I'm a Building Surveyor and work for the Local Authority employed to ensure that all buildings that are under construction are built to the Building Regulations (or Code), I'm leaving Southwark Council to go work for the Metropolitan Police, no I don't get a truncheon and a silly hat, I'm still going to be a building surveyor, in fact I'm going to be a manager, so it's a big promotion for me. Not that the extra money is going to make up for the hour commute I will now have both morning and evening (I'm going to have to buy a new bike for the commute), I'll miss not being able to work so close to home, miss being able to get home for lunch every day, miss being involved with the community I actually live in and miss the good friends I have made here.
ohh the inhumanity
