Eros's blog: "Work Stories"

So yesterday at work I was asked to help by the premises manager to carry some stuff down from the third floor of this building to outside.

Out of him and his three staff he only had one guy helping me carry these 13 heavy sacks, even though it turned out he and the other two could've helped as they had nothing else to do.

K, so we start taking these bags to the agreed drop off point, when this guy (Ian)  suddenly changes his mind and wants them taken somewhere else, further away and smaller. He says because they're a fire hazard (outside, I think not).

So I talk to Rosie (his second in command) to make a compromise, whereby we move all 13 to the original place first, then from there to where he wants them. But no, apparently the kids are going to play with them so he doesn't want them there.

I know this is a pile of shit and that he is talking out of his ass, so I go talk to his boss, who agrees they should stay in the original place.

He gets pissed off with me and stops the guy who was helping, from helping.

He is a serious Dickhead, his employees don't like him, and no one else in the school does either. But only since he's got all this power, he used to be a nice bloke.

What really annoys everyone though, is that he constantly gets away with it because his manager doesn't stand up to him for some unknown reason.

Anyways, that was far too long, sorry....
