I want my bed and a new job

[Azul]

where I won't have to work 80 hours a week.

The problem is that I'm pretty useless.

what else can I do ?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

You are obviously clinically depressed Azul. Stop drinking gin and switch to champagne.

Anyone who writes posts that make me laugh (I have very stringent standards) is not useless.

Now, pick yourself up and mentally devise 40 ways to assassinate your boss: 5 points for standard, 10 points for excruicating pain and humiliation. When you have reached 120, stop and remind yourself how creative you are.

I think you've come to a state of self-awareness that's eviable.

Embrace your uselessness. Accept it.

The worlds of PR and marketing await.

If you have a mastery of Portuguese, you can work non-stop as a Portuguese-English translator in London. Unless you are already working as a Portuguese-English translator, and poss. your standards are too high, hence the 80 hour weeks? Just make it up and bung it out like 50% of the industry does (I never said that). Instant 40 hr week.

Yep, I work in PR - and am utterly useless. However an 80 hour week is not beyond the realms of possibility for me, so possibly look elsewhere. Actually marketing's not a bad idea. Ooh, or teaching

boss is a great guy, the problem is the CORPORATION

now how do I get excruicating pain and humiliation from a CORPORATION?

It is the probably the biggest question in life... how do I collect one hundred and twenty points from the CORPORATION ?

who should be the first to go ?

OH! I am guessing you work for the BBC World Service.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Well apply corporate punishment, obviously.

You can never earn enough money - initially, ist may seem huge if you double your salary, but you soon use us the extra cash as your tastes and aspirations change

money is a very poor long term motivator for anyone with a brain

better to be time rich than cash rich

I took the sensible decision and decided to work only one hour today.

which accounted for 43 hours on a 4 day week.
