The miserable old bastards thread...

[felix]

Edit..... 'glove monkey' haha!!. Why do people who's job it is to supply others who do the actual work act like your asking for their first born child when you request a new shirt or pair of boots? It's not coming out of their fucking wages is it?

Well, you raise a fair point, and I appreciate that it might seem that way to some people.

Unfortunately your use of the term "others who the actual work" is indicative of a misguided feeling of superiority and small-mindedness, and may perhaps be the reason why these people enjoy winding you up. You can't do their job without them, and their job wouldn't exist without you.

Anyway, here's the problem. Maybe you only go to the stores when you genuinely need something. However, the other 99.5% of ambulance jockeys are (probably) a bunch of lazy, careless, thieving arseholes who sell most of the stuff they're given on eBay or give it to their friends & family. Me and my people know this because we're the biggest thieves of the lot, and you can't kid a kidder who does it for a living. We can see them coming a mile away, and it's not that we give a shit about the cost of the items in question (we really don't), it's the fact that people think they can pull the wool over our eyes.

"Oh, you've worn out another pair of boots this week? You must work really hard, mate. Get tae fuck." :D

That's fascinating engz. Must be awful trauma to turn up to things like that, and other things you're not prepared for. Do you suffer anxiety if you don't quite know what your heading into?

No not really. You are supposed to be told what your heading into by the person who took the phone call either as a text message on your terrafix sat nav or on your radio but the quality of the information depends greatly on the person sending it. I think if you got too worried about it you'd leave and find a proper job instead

Scary things are thankfully few and far between.

Incidentally I did a degree in economics (which I actually finished) and worked in financial management for years but found that far more stressful...

Fukkin' 'ell G, I have an enormous amount of respect for you but is there anything you haven't actually done?!
I couldn't even get into Med School, you did, and are a qualified Economist, and a fucking Paramedic.
You're 6' God knows what and manly enough to just get bored and jump off uber doses of narcotix.
You are an inspiration, seriously.

Ahh so when you were saying 'glove monkey' you were referring to a derogatory term given to your own role. I did not realise that. I imagine the supply people offshore are well trained and know their stuff however the spotty 18 year old oik who I ask when I need something new is not quite of that caliber. For example last week when I emailed him to ask for some new epaulettes he said "well your working from headquarters today so what do you need them for?"... Err stupid cunt I wont be here tomorrow do you want me to message you again then and ask a second time?

He is not the skilled professional with 20 years experience that you describe

 

[koneko]

And I have to culture the genital swabs that result from your slutty 'managerial' parties

Holy FUBAR do you think there's a risk of picking up those unicellular creatures in the Firth of Clyde? Like you could in the Arctic? 8!

I've seen how those divers caress things on the seabed, whores they are. Thankfully for me I stay on the boats in my nice suit and heels :D

Sadie & Shamz thought my mini love affair with poles and signs was amusing. I think they were being kind. I'm now going on about fucking pylons and overhead electric cabling in designated areas of scenic beauty. Not just butt gorgeousness either...How dare the cunts stick poles all over our beautiful ridges and mounts 8( If I get my way I'll have em oot...and stuck underground

And you all wonder why I married an oil rig man That boy doth speak sexy, lubed drilling bit chat!

Yeah but I'm not actually any good at any of it. I only did economics cos I couldn't think of anything else to do and dropped out of medical school after 2.5 years. And paramedic science is only a 2 year course (3 now but 2 when I did it). And I only stopped the meds cos I had a falling out with my doctor. It's more just a quirk of coincidence than any real planning....

 

[maxalfie]

I find it funny how in every career field there is disdain between specialities: I have similar feelings towards Ornithologists.
I once had to share a lab with the dirt people!
Apparently they prefer 'Geologists'.

What is your job Sprout and why would it make you dislike people who study birds?

Hah, OK, that guy does sound like a dick. He should be taken out in an ambulance for a week, that'll sort him out.

Oh stop putting yourself down you You did all that to obviously lead you to where you are now and think of all those thousands of people you've helped and who must be massively grateful to you. Now that is worth any certificate It's on all part of your life journey, that most of us have no idea where it leads too. But you are doing good to your fellow human.

Economics and finance is boring as fuck. I like my policy bit of my job because I get to play with stats and interpret them to mean something. The most important bit to me is the practice, where I get to physically make a difference to the economy and people's lives. Like yourself.

You're clever, amazing and are a good looking Walter White - what's not to like! x

No putting yourself down - OK

Sprouts a microbiologist. I did wonder about the ornithologists bit as I thought it meant birds but didn't want to say that in case I was wrong...

Edit..... Thanks K you're very, very kind. Felix is very lucky (but still a glove monkey )

I din't know Sprout is a microbiologist, very clever indeed. Or does it mean he is a biologist but just a very small one?

 

[BigG]

I think both mate. He's a microbiologist but also small (a micro-microbiologist??)

Only kidding spouty (he knows a lot about glassware )

 

[koneko]

....(he knows a lot about glassware )

....And scary, fucking bugs and mini aliens %)

Have you done this one Sprout? I had to shite a lot to get tested for this one

Giardia?
Whose shit were you eating?!

Interesting segway: the insistence of the porn industry on 'ass to mouth' means a shit-load (ha...) of cases appear with the patient entirely unaware of how they got infected.
Use a condom and some wet wipes - not sexy but neither is shitting out protozoa.

Yuck, I never thought of that in the porn industry 8( I can see how specialisation could get interesting in your line.

I went camping and swam in the Ganges. Not very HR I know... Was ill for nearly a year, lost 3 stone and sprewed / shat A lot, my guts hurt Took ages to get rid off. My GP was fascinated the cunt had never treated it before.



Any chance of telling us more about the internship? Or don't you want to jinx it?

This is one, another parasite I've learned a little about at work, nothing like your knowledge though. It's one of the many reasons why Scot gov has implemented the new Marine Bill. It's already invaded a few areas around the islands, coming in on boats.


Hell, I'd love to drop mdma with you and learn all about this stuff! x

My daughter's a microbiologist. I kinda hate to think that she knows about this stuff. Perhaps it's your specialist subject though.
