Don't really dislike much these days.Used to get stressed, be away from home a lot, long hours, the usual really.I've been lucky the past 20 odd years, before that I used to hate working for incompetent managers who micro-managed because they were shit at their own jobs.

[kancutlawns]

Two managers right now, one of them is a micro manager which is the reason for a ball ache. Working out the best way to deal with her and this is by completely losing her with technical detail and she gets frustrated. Overall manager is a decent bloke. Straightforward, no problems with hormones. Started a meeting with her last week, she got uppity with my planning, male manager comes in, blinded him and her with my product knowledge, heard her jaw clunk on the desk. Obviously feels threatened. Fuck office politics.

When i've done shift work I miss the 9-5 but then the same applies vice versa. The grass is always greener!

Love a bit of bullshit bingo. Phrases like "quick win", "skin in the game" and "low hanging fruit" are used without irony

I wouldn't do a shit job for a living, but don't mind doing a few shit as part of my current occupation like photocopying, doing a cappuccino run or wiping the desk down. It provides a little disengagement from my job and makes me more organised. Nowt wrong with that, tidy mind and all that.

Another dislike: Far too many snakes, can't trust any cunt and they all desperately try to protect their own worthless carcasses rather than resolving issues.
