Until today I thougt that it will be driving convoy vehicle.
But today there is a worker outside my house. He has hard-hat, safety boots, hi-vis and everything. He sits on my little-wall surrounding my garden or in boot of his car and he WATCHES the street.
The street which is maybe 120 m long will be closed for parking on one side from tomorow. So he sits there and he WATCHES. Then he moves to the other post (from my wall to his car or vice versa) and WATHES from there then he get up, walks few steps here and back and keeps WATCHING.
If any of the 20 cars parked on the road leaves the space, he puts two traffic cones into that place…

Bus driving - going round and round and round in ever decreasing circles and you cant deviate from the route either
i bet you cant wait for the day you can do a full circle in your bus… “one day i will do more than just a semi-circle”
sorry could not resit - this will be the last time i promise.
I’ll let you into a little secret - I sometimes deliberately try and break the buses
Or create a little entertainment myself - like the little old granny today who though that because she told me where she was going that Id automatically stop at the stop so she shouts at me as I went past the stop, so I deliberately stopped a little past the stop on a bit of road with no pavement and large bushes - “how am I supposed to get off?” “not my problem!!”, I really couldnt care less, and especially so when some woman started gobbing off because she had to wait 55 minutes for a bus then got off a couple of stops later (yep the reason buses run late is because of people moaning that their late and get off a short distance later) which would have taken 10 minutes to walk
Then she stared to say that she’s going to complain because theyve all been late for the last few days - like we can help the road being dug up the other side of town and the temporary traffic lights…
fozzie:
:lol: sounds like you have been doing the same watching him all day but atleast he is being paid for doing it
No, I just left at the morning to return the lorry to the yesterday’s job, then came back. I spoke with him about the works earlier so he greeted me. Then I left to my interpreting appointment, then came back. Then I left shopping, then I came back. Then I left as I forgot something from my car and then I left back…
And if he’s on minimum wage, I earned more than he today…

Sounds as boring as the guys who do the manual STOP/GO signs for a full shift… Stand there for a days work twirling a sign, great…
if i did that job occasionaly to break the bordem i’d twirl it round really fast and then see if the STOP or GO or the a bit of both STOPGO faced the traffic and watch the unfolding traffic gridlock .
Accountantancy must rate as the most boring job, attracting the most boring people . I have a cousin that is an accountant, charges an arm and a leg for his services. What does he do in his spare time? play [zb] chess! What does he do in his holidays, play [zb] chess. Oh I forgot to mention, he once spent a week in Germany… yes you’ve guessed it! playing [zb] chess
whilst driving in southern ireland recently i drove through some roadworks there was a spotty youth half heartedhy waving a red flag. youn can’t get much more boring than that
When I was about 16, I had a job as lineman for a surveyor on a large building site. My job was to stand here and there holding the pole. It got exciting when I got instructed to knock a nail into the top of a wooden peg occasionally. Once the surveyor had finished with his measurements I had to sit in the tea hut on my own for hours on end while he did his calculations in his office. I got the sack after about a fortnight when the surveyor couldn’t find me in the tea hut a couple of times. I’d become so bored with the job, I’d gotten in the habit of robbing the building site dumper and would tare arse around the building site on it.
