I've recently started a new job. and although some of my collegues are ok, there is one girl who just talks about herself all the time. She seems to love herself and thinks she is holier-than-thou but the fact remains that she closely resembles a pig. So I was just wondering, do you have collegues you can't stand? They don't have to resemble farmyard animals. |

I have a lot of collegues that I can't stand.. All the girls at my job are hitting on guys at the weekends and I have to listen to that crap in the morning ;) Most of the time even my weekend was more fun. And they really think theyre so popular.. while the funny part is that everyone gossips about them :P |

The last job I was at (and will probably go back to soon) I got on well with absolutely everyone in my office. The only people I disliked were: The salesmen (although, it's hard to ever like salesmen, right?), who were fortunately off site most of the time and also the helpdesk who were at another site so I only had to deal with them down the phone. They were basically junior phone monkeys who couldn't do their jobs properly and used to just bounce work (that was nothing to do with us) our way to get their queue down (they were hired and fired on stats). After growing tired of their games, we adopted a policy of deleting any calls they put in our queue without giving our express permission for and then we would disavow all knowledge of them. Of course, they would then get in trouble for it. They soon learnt to ring first :) We also used to have an open door policy in the company, but we found: a) People would wander in and talk to us about nothing. b) The women in the room opposite would cackle like witches all day and it did our heads in. So, we used to close the door and put a "meeting in progress" sign up and just quietly get on with our work. If we were busy, we'd take our phones off the hook too, whenever it was anything really important the receptionist would come up to tell us face to face. They tolerated our insubordination as we made the most money for smallest outlay (only the salesmen came close) and due to the nature of the job, we were not easily replaceable. Oscillik: Yeah, I had one or two like that, but headphones solve that problem :) Fortunately a couple of them liked "proper" music, a couple of drum and bass heads, one was into dub and electro, another liked lemonjelly and stuff like that. One of them was even a music maker and we used to exchange tips and stuff when he called in. |

My workmates are great. They all have varied and great senses of humour. We all get on great together. If you work with good people who you get on with, I think it helps no matter what job you are doing. |

Ever since I've had my job, I've just been amazed by how many childish people are out there. There are all these tiny insignificant arguments going on all the time. And worst of all, they are all brought up during the weekly meetings :-s Stupid stuff like: "I'm not gonna help her with her work when I'm done with mine. I just work faster, why should I be punished for being faster by having to help the slower people?" There are always at least 4 or 5 people who won't speak to each other because they've irritated one another in some way. Nobody wants to work even a minute longer than absolutely necessary etc etc. I just try to ignore them as much as possible. Thankfully there are also loads of other people who just want to do their work and have a positive attitude instead of complaining about stuff all the time. All in all it's not such a bad job, but on some days having to listen to all those negative people can be really exhausting. |

What do you do ? "I'm not gonna help her with her work when I'm done with mine. I just work faster, why should I be punished for being faster by having to help the slower people?" That sounds like my work . Im a mailman and im like 3 times faster then the rest and my areas i deliver to is bigger then the rests and still i have do help the other knuckle heads sort their mail n shit . It DOES get a bit irritating (and exhausting) after a while. And when some of them brag about how fast they are or when they go home earlyer then me i feel like punching them . Some of my workmates are really great tho , fun to party with. One of them even has good music taste and we are going to se "Mum" live later this summer. |

he was a mailman! anywho: i thought one of the benifits of being a mailman was freedom and stuff, but you dont really have that then |

"What do you do ? (...) That sounds like my work ." OH MY GOD! "Im a mailman " So am I :-p Lol that's so crazy. But yeah. Hearing it from your perspective I can sort of see where you're coming from. Especially this: "some of them brag about how fast they are or when they go home earlyer then me" must be really irritating if you've had to help them and then they're done sooner than you. But still. I think some of my co-workers are really making too big a deal out of it. And they'll start working slower or taking long coffee-breaks just so they don't have to help anybody else. I'm not particulary fast or slow. I don't have to help others all the time, but I don't need to be helped all the time either. But it's just their attitude that annoys me most I think. They don't care about the company or anybody else or people getting their mail on time. They just want to get home as quickly as possible. They're usually the people who've worked here the longest. I guess it makes the grumpy and demotivated or something. But like with you, most (or atleast alot) of my co-workers are really cool people whom I get along with just fine. |

hey big! :-) Nice to see you. Get rid of the spongebob-avatar did you? Nickelodeon has been broadcasting lots of new episodes recently. It's great! There was one where Gary had to take a bath. But ofcourse he didn't want to. So spongebob tries all kinds of crazy stuff to get him in the bath. And at some point he grabs a dollar-bill and says: "I've got a dollar here waiting for the first person to take a bath in this house!" And immediately Mr. Crabs comes roling in in a bath on wheels, grabs the dollar and says: "thanks very much". Hahaha. It was so great. I couldn't stop laughing for atleast 15 minutes :-p But uhm yeah. Postmen are getting less and less freedom. Even in the 2 short years I've been working here I've seen our schedule getting tighter and tighter. And it's only gonna get worse. But still I like my job. I work alot in the evening too. Not out on the street, but in a seperate room where I have to register and sort and pack the special mail (registered letters and stuff like that). It's like I have my own office ;-) Biggest dissapointment for me has always been that we aren't allowed to use walkmans. Not even out on the street. We have to be "approachable" for people. Haha. Shame... it would make for a great opportunity to listen to lots of great music hours a day. |

"I'm not particulary fast or slow. I don't have to help others all the time, but I don't need to be helped all the time either." Thats the perfect way to be haha! =) Being fast sucks! "But still. I think some of my co-workers are really making too big a deal out of it. And they'll start working slower or taking long coffee-breaks just so they don't have to help anybody else." I don't do that . Luckily my main boss and team leaders know how much im doing , and they want to promote me to team leader as soon as a spot is open. The thing that is irritating tho is that because im such a competative person it makes me cry inside everytime annyone is "Wrongfully" done before me. I will show them this summer tho * evil laugh * When there is small amounts of mail we don't have to help annyone and there will be alot of those days in the summertime. I started at this new office in the winter so no one here has really seen my full potential hehe! I will be hitting the showers when some of them will hit the bike haha! |

"and they want to promote me to team leader as soon as a spot is open." Hey that's really cool! I hope a spot opens for you soon :-) I wonder if you'll get the same trainings all my teamleaders must have gotten. I mean they're all pretty cool people. But I can't stand how they always want to be positive. No matter what happens, they always tell it as if it's good news. "Good news guys, it's gonna be a busy one. You'll make lots of hours and money today!" "Hardly any mail today. Great huh? You'll be home before you know it!" "Hm there have been alot of complaints in our part of the city lately. I think this is a great opportunity to show how much better we can do!" "Hey erik, I've got another little job for you today. Nice huh? You don't have to go out on the street today." "Oh hey erik, I've had someone call in sick today. Could you maybe deliver an extra route? It'll be great! Lots of fresh air, you won't have to be staying indoors all the time today!" They often make the same jokes too, hehe. You can definitely tell the difference between when they're really talking to you, or when then they're just saying what they've been taught to say. "I will be hitting the showers when some of them will hit the bike haha!" LOL! lucky bastard! We also have alot less mail in the summer. But they just make us work extra. Bigger routes etc. So we're hardly home any earlier than in winter. Damnit :-p |

LOL! No im not gonna be that kind of leader =) Jebus no! I will be more like the drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket =) "MOVE IT!! MOVE IT!! MOVE IT!!" Yeah we also get a bit extra work in the summer but its nothing compared to the winter anyways so its all good. Summertime is record time , time to beat the records on your route. I thought of buying a stop watch but my work mates would think ive gone crazy hehe! I bought a head lamp in the winter (it gets very dark here during winter) and everybody laughed at first but now they all say they will follow my example next winter. You look like an idiot but it knocks off an half hour of your route. |

So you work in the city huh ? Im curious , in apartment buildings do you have mail boxes on the entrance floor or do you have to run all the floors delivering door to door (like we do 99% of the time) ? |

My normal co-workers were generally good people, though they gossiped quite a bit. Our ''2nd tier'' so to speak had some major twats, though. I had a cool supervisor, but there were a lot of dickhead bosses, too. It was like Office Space. There seemed to be as many supervisors as regular workers. |

LOL, I'm glad I don't work in sweden. Or I might have run into you as a teamleader at some point ;-) You sound really motivated. Be careful you don't get a burnout I guess :-p "do you have mail boxes on the entrance floor" yeah... almost always. "or do you have to run all the floors delivering door to door (like we do 99% of the time) ?" Seriously?! Holy shit... that's ALOT of work! In fact we aren't even allowed to do that. When I have a small package or a registered letter. We're actually supposed to ring their bell (downstairs) and make them come down. Because we're not supposed to leave our bike (and all the mail in it) unguarded. But usually I go upstairs with packages anyway. The people expect it. Usually they open the outside door from upstairs and through the intercom they say: come on up! And I don't want to get into a discussion everytime telling them to come down ;-) |

Holy shit! You talk to people on your route ??? =) When i said "door to door" i meant slam dunking in these throw in thingies (don't know the english word) at the door. I have to explain tho that i work at a private owned mail company (City Mail) and not the actual State Post. Our work rutines is based on speed , we don't have any personal mail , just company mail , papers ,bills ,bank stuff ,catalouges and alot of comercial. On a citymail route there is usualy 3 normal postmen , still we run past them all. But i don't blame them , when they are done they have more work at the office , i wouldn't run either , i would buy an ice cream and soak up some sun =) We write numbers on every piece of mail like 1:4 = Floor 1 Door 4 ..etc. so when delivering we dont look at all the names we just look at the numbers and its super fast. we're not supposed to leave our bike (and all the mail in it) unguarded. Shit! i have a hard time picturing your kind of way of delivering ? Sometimes i leave my bike and take 7 buildings in a row cause its faster that way. Do you deliver to regular houses aswell ? (not apartments) The way we (not all) do it is slam dunking from the bike , its quite enjoyable actually. Not as fun going uphill with a full bike but what the hell. Impossible tho during winter. "You sound really motivated. Be careful you don't get a burnout I guess :-p " Don't worry mate =) the force is strong with me. |

I injured a collegue - an old witch in her fifties - with a door handle this week, and despite her being in violation of the health and safety rules I got the shit for it. |

was she purched on it at the time you injured her? |

No she was busy nattering like the blind old twat she is. |

"i meant slam dunking in these throw in thingies (don't know the english word)" "throw-in-thingies"? lol, I'm not entirely sure how to picture that :-p Do you mean something like a mailbox seperate from the house? It sounds pretty cool... and fast! And indeed I work for the (formerly) state-owned mail-company of the netherlands. But our monopoly is slowly being reduced. In a couple of years time the netherlands will probably have 2 or 3 or 4 different mail-companies. Probably also some like your company who concentrate on commercial mail. "Sometimes i leave my bike and take 7 buildings in a row cause its faster that way." Hehe. Yeah well it's true we're not supposed to leave our bikes unguarded. But in reality that's really not an option. A normal route would take me 5 times longer if I actually kept an eye on the bike all the time :-p So I too walk around with huge packages of mail and do several streets at a time. Actually it's quite fun to see how many streets you can carry all at a time :-p Because I'm quite a large person (almost 2 metres) I've become known to carry huge packages of a mail at a time. Hehe. Whenever I help prepair the mail for someone else's route I constantly have to remind myself not everyone has such long arms and I needed to make smaller stacks of mail ;-) "Do you deliver to regular houses aswell ? (not apartments)" Yeah we deliver everywhere. Appartments, regular houses, shops, office-buildings... whatnot. I dislike the streets with somewhat more expensive houses. They tend to have enormous gardens you have to walk through to get to the door (and sometimes even also some steps leading up through the door). It's such a pain. If all those houses would have a seperate mailbox infront of their gardens (right next to the road). We could deliver SO much more mail in the same time as it takes me to do an entire street now. |

So youre tall ay! Funny i had this picture in my head of a chubby little George Costanza on a bike haha! =) Yeah im pretty tall to (1.95) , being tall is quite good when running in stairs. I also have to remind myself that everyone isn't my size , i stack these large towers of boxes at the office so that no one can reach the top box but me hehe! I guess you get to hear the same jokes on your route as me everyday. "If you have bills in there you can send them back " "Only the love letters please!" Jesus im tired of those... but yet i fake laugh politly , don't wanna be rude. |

Most of them are ok. There is only one I wish would quit. A real messerschmitter, emotional reject-brat. He was sick all week, so the rest of us in my group had a good time. |

"I guess you get to hear the same jokes on your route as me everyday." hehe. yeah. I guess it's the postman's curse. I'm sure people in countries all over the world make exactly those same jokes. Especially that one about the bills. Christ that gets old. But still you have to sort of pretend to laugh I guess. I'm sure they all think they're being really hilarious. What also gets on my nerves is when I'm delivering in one of those apparment-buildings with lots of mailboxes at the entrance. And someone who lives there will come down for the mail. So I ask: "at what number do you live?" So that I can see if they have any mail. And they'll say: "No that's okay, I'll just wait for it." And so they stand behind me, breathing down my neck and making me nervous. Aack! "a chubby little George Costanza on a bike" haha! The power of avatars :-p |
