Gz on birthday, few summer cycles behind there aswell. Dinging 39 here, were both summer childs it seems 
It was how the game was and we knew no different.
Nothing with the words âturkish delightâ in the description is delicious 
Border controls. Theyâre waving almost everything through but then they noticed you were waiting so decided to pick on that one import for a stop and search.

That will be why I start at 5am and spend two and a half hours leaning on my worktable with my labels and scanner waitingâŚ

The worst part of having to work is when there is no work to do. Time goes by so slowly!

I absolutely despise standing around doing nothing, even if thereâs clearly nothing to do to managers. So now to kill time and because of my autism I now spend spare time going around putting all the labels in alphabetical order, putting the M&S tape with the depot name on top of the labels and use the pallet truck to move the pallets into alphabetical order from Barnsley to Thatcham and then start rebuilding the pallet the night shift havenât finished off and re building it the way I want it. The team leader (to her credit and I suspect she already knew why I was doing it) told the other guys to âjust leave me alone, heâs not doing anything heâs not supposed to be doing and heâs not standing around with his thumb up his a*** so if he wants to do that let him.â

See, thatâs the kind of work I would actually enjoy. Aside from the fact I canât physically move things. My first job was organising a digital storeroom and assigning labels and numbers to every piece of equipment and adding it to a library system. I loved that job but it took me a week not 8⌠I wondered wtf normal people were doing. 7 weeks of doing nothing was anxiety inducing, I left at 6 when the guy that was supposed to take over arrived because I just couldnât stand it any longer!

Thatâs the sort of thing I like doing too. I spent a lot of time reorganising my study (and all the other rooms containing stock) instead of actually doing something about selling it

Most my days at work recently are just standing around for the magority of the shift waiting for work to happen.
Then people actually wonder why i look so tired lolâŚ
I wake up at 3:50am to do nothing for a good 8 hours of my 12hour shift not including breaks, at least at break i can look at my phone.
There is only so many times i can walk around the small department before it becomes boring too.
And there is only so many times i can have the same conversations with people day in day out.
âYes bob, only 11 hours till home time!â
On the day to day,
Interesting conversation = 0
Conversation you get dragged into = 90
Conversations about football = 10
I hate football.
I wish i could have a shot everytime i hear.
âHere we go againâ
âNearly thereâ
âNot long nowâ
âX days to goâ
âToday is half wayâ
âLast dayâ
And many more.
I would be so wasted i wouldnt even realise i was at work.
I was talking to someone on my days off at the gym they were so happy and pround of their job.
They asked what i did.
The conversation soon changed when i basically discribed hell on earth.
They ended the conversation by saying " at least its a day off tomorrow, bankholiday."
Nope some people have to work those.

Itâs weird. Some people celebrate getting paid for doing nothing but I would hate it. Thatâs why I work 7 days a week and goodness knows how many hours a day ⌠and the advantage of being self-employed. No boredom and no putting up with people you wouldnât normally choose to be with. (And a bit of time to look at forums too 
)
So you have my sympathy.
