My first thread while at work
hoorah! This is an historic milestone, my first thread on GD while i should be working. Marvellous.
Anyway, the job seems easy enough, but instead of "ranging" about i appear to be stuck in the office helping people with excel and updating the website. Which isn't too bad, seem to have a lot of freedom. Hence the post.
Sadly, all i seem to have to do for the rest of today is to input survey data into Excel, which is actually more of a pain in the arse than it should be. I was using a lovely survey manipulation program called SPSS whilst at uni, and it now feels as if ive been pulled back in time to using an archaic awkward program
also...
i now appear to work a 9-5 office job, kill me now

sup deepflow
At least you didnt have to get a bus, then a train to get to your work, work for 2 hours and earn the money you spent getting to work, and then make an hour walk home at night in the streets of glasgow just to return to a bollocking from your parents, a couple of hours of bad tv, toothache, and a shit wank.

Re: My first thread while at work
heh, i never went to any of the lectures (Quantatitive Social Research \o/ \o/ \o/)... but i did use the course booklet and did all the coursework.
Seriously, now that im having to use Excel i really think it was an excellent program.

Re: My first thread while at work
I love SPSS, it does the work for you. Have fun at work!
I never went to the lectures either, but got 90% in the exam on Quantative Data and Statistics and 100% on the coursework. But SPSS was and is a lovely program!

Re: My first thread while at work
I've been an obediant slave so far and have kept from using the internet when I am should be working. I also don't smoke or drink tea/coffee so haven't taken any breaks for them like the rest of the staff :/ Though being one of the few with my own office makes up for this as it means I can listen to music most of the day.

Re: My first thread while at work
I have been struck by an awful truth today, one that i have suspected to be true for a while...
The amount of pointless bureacracy associated with the council is absolutely disgraceful. I have just witnessed 4 emails going back and forth discussing whether it is allowed to paint bollards gold (apparently it isn't). It is actually quite worrying that im getting paid for this.
oooh, and the BEST thing is that I am going to go on a course teaching me "how to correctly use a ladder" next week. I first thought my boss was joking when she told me... but apparently not
still, it will be another string to my bow

in my (council) job we sent a load of payslips down in the lift. When the people collecting them got down there they rang us to check if we'd sent them yet. Without looking in the lift right next to the phone.

At my work there's been a three week drama on how to get rid of some pigeons in a Tower Block in Penge. Apparently after various attempts they've decided to shoot them, and then get a hawk in.
