Work... work... work.....

God, we spend half our life there - either working or studying or looking after the family and home, but we never really show what it's like. Time to change all that!

Yes, l I think it's about time we were all witness to our respective daily grinds, and you are just about to find out what terrible conditions we Brits have to work in. Slog, slog, slog, day in and day out and what a place to have to work. Time to lift the can on the place of daily graft.

I'm gonna show you mine to start with and then I'd like you to come and show us yours. Once we have enough evidence, we can all appreciate how good it feels and how lucky we all are to have the sanctuary of the Cellar...

Just look at the state of the place - could you find anywhere worse? I mean a late 19th century lodge house for gods sake, and with outdoor furniture and gas barbecue - I mean, how could they. And I even have to cycle to work!

Cyclefrance · 05-04-2006, 03:45 PM

... and just wait until you see the inside and the people I have to work with. Can it get any worse? These three guys in the first picture, for instance - you'd think they owned the place - trouble is two of them do! And all they do all day is talk on the phone about ships and vegetable oils and molasses and chemicals - I mean it's just not human is it

Then there's the other guy - do you see that - he makes himself a cup of coffee - and he does it regularly as well! Sometimes three times in one day!

Then there's our ladies, have to be nice to the first one because she does the salaries each month. While teh second one - well, she may look all right but she's a bit of a Hungarian Vickie Pollard, I'll have you know...

OK, you've seen through me and my false words. They're a great bunch of people to work with and they make work fun. We have a great time and all get along really well. I think I would find it hard to find a better bunch of people to work with. The others to agree except, they say, if it wasn't for this bloke...

Elspode · 05-04-2006, 03:56 PM

Dude...do *not* make me fly over there and slap you silly.

Looks like an altogether serene and cool work environment.

KinkyVixen · 05-04-2006, 04:01 PM

That sucks! I can't post pictures of my workplace...i'm sure i would get in trouble for that too...i get in trouble for just about everything!! I'm so loved!!

Elspode · 05-04-2006, 04:07 PM

BTW...and I have to say this because, well...I have no class:

The lovely in the pink top who obviously made sure to thrust her ample bosom outwards provocatively - she actually works someplace where she deals in bulk vegetable oils? I almost swoon from the imagining!

Looks like another hot-air environment.

Brought to my mind a children's party I once participated in as an organiser. About 150 children, all so well-behaved we thought we were dreaming and were regularly pinching ourselves during the party meal. Then we let the balloons out.....

I have never to this day witnessed such a change in character - completely uncontrollable mayhem. Balloons have a lot to answer for!

Who are you kidding. That ain't a house, that's a movie set....I can see the crane lifting lugs on the peak.

Yes.. wow... same thing happened here. Balloons came into play and all of a sudden they got crazy. Started fighting over balloons when there were tons of the same exact thing all over the place ... Luckily, they were well behaved for the most part.

The place I work though, very very relaxed. Tvs in the office. Lots of witty banter... throwing of things at eachother (soft stuff usually)... When we have a deadline we are all hard at work, but we have a lot of fun...and yet... I wanna change jobs hehehe

No, that's the zipper so we can get into the roof space easy...

Yeah, it's grim, isn't it - not even a lift (elevator for my TA friends)
