    O.k well thanks for telling everyone what you do for a living....And yes it sounds like you do get your hands dirty and your job could be quite stressful having to diagnose human illness's.

    In a way my job is similar to yours because I get paid to diagnose problems with trucks/cars etc etc and you really have to know what you are doing to be succesful.

    Fark, that's early!
    Imagine you had to get up that early everyday before a full day's work! Especially for such a hard job as mechanicing!

    just since you obliviously missed it with your razor sharp intellect. He is describing the plot / storyline for the TV series "House"

    Well that did'nt go to well.....Got to the wrokshop this morning and the place is an absolute mess with tools and parts all over the benchs and the workshop is too small for the type of business they are running. Very un professional I believe.

    The lunch room was also a mess and the light was'nt even working so I had to make a coffee in the dark.

    The first thing he got me doing was cleaning up all the tools and putting them away.

    After half an hour I decided this job was'nt for me and it would'nt work out.

    Told the boss so he said we may as well finish up if I was'nt interested.

    I was back home by 9.30am this morning.

    Back to the drawing board!

    Are you aware of the concept of working a job you dislike until the one you are waiting for appears?

    You have to make it appear. No point in waiting.

    Any chance fifty of us could pitch in $5,000 each in order to help TheEnd set up a business?

    I've just found this thread and I'm not sure if it's a serious thread or not. So, is this a joke?

    If you identified some issues, you had a perfect opportunity to suggest improvements and make a difference. In my workplace its called initiative and its also just part of being in a team. It's also just doing your job. A couple of hours is hardly giving it a good go. Maybe you should consider starting your own business and work for yourself, if you don't want to work for someone else.

    If you spend your life seeing barriers as something impenetrable rather than something to climb over, go around or smash through, you'll never succeed in life my friend.

    What was the boss like ?
    Could have been a good opportunity to start something
    Cleaned up plenty of messy workshops in the past , I would have used the opportunity
    Unless the boss was a complete ballbreaker & to hard to work with

    I wouldn't waste my money, he has shown he has no work ethic and would would just blow your hard earned $$ on him.
