Students are retards
However, so are MDs. My one has banned me from eating at my desk and checking my mobile.

Now, the eating one I understand from a customer point of view, as I'm the first person you see when you walk into the office. However, I'm still banned, even on days when we've got no customers in. Made even more frustrating, that everyone else in the office is allowed to eat at their desk, including one lad who lived on mackerel for about a week, made the office stink. I was even banned from eating cereal at my desk, before the working day even starts (fair enough). I've just walked in to see one of the girls in the office eating a bowl of cereal, with the same MD looking over her shoulder, saying it looks quite tasty.

The phone thing I'd understand, if others (not necessarily sales) didn't take calls every single day, including one whose ringtone is bloody loud.

The guy has one rule for me, and different rules for everyone else. Fucking tosser. Arggghhh, grr, etc.

On the upside, I have hot chocolate!

EDIT: Also, Gavin and Stacey is wank. Currently, the series I'm watching are HIMYM, Castle, Chuck and Bones.

If only
Bills to pay, etc.

My Dad is retired, my Stepmum will be soon, so I can't keep going to them for money. Living with them for the next 2 months will be bad enough!

And er, you haven't confronted him about it why?

I'm in his 'bad books'
The man is nearly 50, and holds pathetic grudges. While all this is going on, I simply have to keep my head down, and obey his every ruling.

There simply aren't any other jobs out there at the minute.

I'm over 50 and hold pathetic grudges too.
You don't suddenly become mature when you pass a certain age you know.

I'm off to play on the swings in a minute, anybody want to come?

Swings?
AWESOME!

Its really a tyre on a rope, over a ditch.
But it is fun provided you don't fall in.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster
I'm in!
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 9:05, Reply)

I fail to see why that's relevant.
He's quite clearly in the wrong. If it was something debatable I could understand you wanting to keep your loaf down, but it's not. There's no way he can be seen to be in the right in any way whatsoever.

it's his company he can do what he likes.
Shame, but true.

Not everyone who runs their own business uses it as their private fiefdom and treats people badly though.

no, but this guy does. AA was telling us about him the other week.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 8:59, Reply)

I know and it is appalling that some people think they can go around behaving like that.
As a small business owner I just wanted to make the point that we're not all like that. I try hard to treat my staff well - without them I wouldn't have a business.

However you can also have employees that take the piss (I am not inferring that AA does this)

In ways I do, and when I am brought up on those, I accept, and change
But the ways I've highlighted above do not come under this heading.

I'm very quick with Ctrl+Tab, Alt+Tab
I always have something work related open in other tabs, I've never been caught on here (except for when I was pulled into a meeting)

He prefers the term "Lord of the Underworld"

You're not IMPLYING that AA does this.

True
But sadly it's his company, these are his rules, like them or lump them.

When I can find another job, I intend on making clear how much I dislike his rules. Suggestions?

stab him in the side of the knee with a biro
before knocking up some nunchuka using empty toner and flex cable and batter him.

Sounds better than my suggestion, I was simply going to curl one out on his desk
