Now it's all form filling, statistic returns and filling out action plans instead of actually doing the bloody work. The creativity is being blead out of the work. It's a real shame. My most boring job was as a credit controller / statistical analyser for a massive insurance company (Zurich Insurance). There were only 2 days a month where I had any work to do, the rest of the time I used to play chess against a 1992 model IBM PC. Dull as arse! Luckily I got sacked and moved to London to be unemployed in Peckham - a much better career option.
