I feel better about the pointlessness of my job after watching this.

Imagine how the guy who fits indicators to BMWs feels.

Guess that was his resignation method

Alas, not real. Which suggests our everyday existence is even more pointless.

Did he get the traffic job after his weather forecasting career?

Chapeau sir! My training group at work are now looking at me rather strangely after my lost coffee moment. I love this forum 🙂

I know people who have made a career out of it!

Allegedly one (quite senior) boss at my last workplace walked around a sprawling site all day with a buff file under his arm.

No one knew what he actually did but was senior enough never to be challenged. I was told his job title even stated ‘without portfolio’ in brackets.

Dammit, that was really funny, until Anavid becomes Ryan
Make my morning, then ruin it all within one 30 minute thread. That’s STW.

Thats brilliant!!

Rejoice in your pointlesness.

We were having a discussion about what the collective noun would be for the people who do our ‘job’

We settled on an irrelevance of graphic designers 🙂

Excellence.

Also, try being this person:

That was great.

I remember once I had a work trip by train. I sat opposite someone who I gather owned a small restaurant chain. He spent about 2 hours on the phone discussing the size of Ramakins with a colleague. The gist of it was that they were too big and they were losing money on olive sales. I couldn’t take the high ground as I was on my laptop drawing door handles to be 3d printed and fitted to houses in a model village. At least we were on a train going somewhere.

Thankfully, my job is neither meaningless nor unappreciated. Which is nice to know.

I remember a PDR with my boss when I worked in local authority. I told him I thought we were both guaranteed a seat on the B Ark.

After I’d had to explain the B Ark to him, he looked at me for what seemed like forever, then agreed with me.

If I didn’t go to work today no one would know. But hours of YouTube videos would remain unwatched.

Which is nice to know

It really is. I’ll sleep soundly anyway
