the guy I'm working with today is an utter knob.
Half way through a tough job, and he just decides to fuck off. Comes back 40 minutes later with the wrong size bellow for a high pressure steam pipe, and blames me for giving him the wrong measurements. In spite of the fact the piece of paper he's got has the correct measurements on it. Then he gets upset when I've managed to fix the old fitting when he said it couldn't be done and has stormed off to talk to my boss about my attitude. Fucking wanker.

I think people who complain to managers about other peoples attitude are the ones with the attitude problem.

well, yes

Especially when the complaint is 'he fixed the broken thing and I couldn't'.

'he did his job smugly'

(PsychoChomp, Fri 16 Jan 2015, 14:01, Reply)

I have to admit I don't like smug people.
Windy doesn't strike me as smug though.

I bet he was smug with that fitting.
'Oh you went and got that fitting? Turns out you didn't have to go to all that effort, because I managed to use the old one. No don't mention it, it was nothing.'

he just couldn't be bothered and would rather spend half an hour talking to the stores guy than work.

I hope there are no bathroom stalls nearby.
Else he might find out why you've been moving around so much recently.

I hope your new work boots are uncomfortable and you get blisters.

That would be the saddest thing that had ever happened to me :(

I think we need some proper workboot chat.
What steel toe cap boots are you getting? Are you doing the amateur thing and getting some dunlop boots from Sports Direct?
( Muns, Fri 16 Jan 2015, 14:06, Reply)

Getting some DeWalt boots.
They're in a rather fetching dark brown with tan as a contrast.
( Kroney, Fri 16 Jan 2015, 14:08, Reply)

I must admit, they've definitely improved in terms of design since I had to wear the fucking things.

Brown riggers, or gtfo.

I went to the Doc Martens factory last weekend.
They have some steel toe capped boots with a hole cut out of the leather so you see a circle of polished steel. Fucking hipsters.
(PsychoChomp, Fri 16 Jan 2015, 14:14, Reply)

Fucking hell.
Doc Martens make some fantastic non-hipster stuff, but I can't bring myself to even consider it now.
( Muns, Fri 16 Jan 2015, 14:23, Reply)

I like to strut around in rigging boots personally.

Just boots and ankle socks, and an oversized bumbag.

Last time someone went to my manager about me, my manager called me to his office.
Said "What the hell should we do about him eh?" Had a bit of small talk and I returned to my office. On route passing by his desk he gave me one of those smug fucker grins. He lasted another week or so before being told not to bother coming in the next day.

Do you buy any of your brewing shizzle online? If so what's good. My local store has closed down
