#ThingsIWontMissAboutThisJob


As it's my last day in the office tomorrow, I was having a little think about just how "lovely" it has been to work here. It set me off on a bit of a twitter rant - helpfully summarised for you here. I should stress, these are all actual things that go on on a daily basis (and yes, that includes those things near the bottom of the list that are at best inappropriate and at worst, possibly criminal). So let me begin......

#ThingsIWontMissAboutThisJob Not getting a hello from my boss if I'm more than 1 minute late for work.

#ThingsIWontMissAboutThisJob The daily competition of who had the worst journey

#ThingsIWontMissAboutThisJob The fact that the boss stinks #1 (never dry cleans his suits)

#ThingsIWontMissAboutThisJob The fact that the boss stinks #2 (doesn't shower in the morning)
