Boycie Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Ok, I've just cleared out an old airing cupboard ready to connect up a new boiler that's been fitted. i ripped out the old cylinder and down behind it was two very old used ladies sanitary towels and what can only be described as a "bag of *****" i found a bit of stick to clear the towels, but I had my suspicions what was in the plastic bag by the fact it was soft and squashy. The question I keep asking myself is why did I have to smell it? Why? it confirmed my suspicions anyway. the house is empty and being refurbed So no customers to sneer at and mutter "dirty barsteward" under my breath. has anyone else every found any disgusting or amazing things while at work?

Mostyn6 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 when I was window fitting back in the 90s, I took some Chaddite's blind off her bay window frame, my hand stuck to the tobacco stained sticky filth on the framework. The horrorbag lady was watching and said "oooh nasty, I hate that disgusting blind, it was here when we moved in, not been here long!". When I put the frame on the floor, the non-facing side of it (the side which contacts the wall/window) was exposed and had her surname and house number written on in black marker. I just gave it the raised eyebrow and looked at her. She waddled off in embarrassment, filthy cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few contracts out there I'm chasing - too old to bother with a permanent role. Luckily some of my specialist skills are still very much in demand.

eddie Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Just to set you all at ease (not that you need it), I work as an 'Employed Consultant' for a company who have sub-contracted me out to Jaguar Land Rover for the last 4 and a half years. Technically, when I leave JLR on Wednesday, I shall still be 'employed' by the parent agency (and get paid), even if I have nothing to do. This is a situation that will apply for a while (it might be a month, perhaps a little more), after which they would give me notice if they were unable to find me sub-contract work through one of their other clients. That's what today's interview was - chatting to another one of their clients. In the meantime, I will be also looking myself independently, perhaps with a view to going back contracting proper.Not worried at the moment - in fact, I would value a month off 'between jobs'.
