Nobody wants to work in my job??.
Ok so after seeing posts on Facebook from old school friends moaning that there office air con is too cold I sent them a message asking if they would like to come work outside in the fresh air and sun getting a nice fetching tan!
 Funny I got polite replies of thanks but no thanks. I would have thought they would have been jumping at the chance  Dont know what is wrong with the world. Ok so I'm bored today, why is it you can never get hold of people when you have fixed there saws and you need to send them back to them?

Sounds like your old class mates have gone SOFT, I would not go so far as to compar them to slackers but they may be on their way.

Re: Nobody wants to work in my job??.
Don't think anyone in our office would understand how an engine works let alone fix it.
Whinging about aircon is the No1 sport, I did a couple of months in a tannery when I was in my teens, that really was tough smelly work - just one up from an abattoire. Anyone complaining about conditions should try this work on a hot sunny day.

Re: Nobody wants to work in my job??.
as much as i complain about the heat, i would far rather sweat my *'s off in a tree than do some admin in an aircon filled box.
