Have you ever had a cushy job?

I used to work for Bono years ago.
My job was to walk behind him and constantly say "you are just a man, you are just a man" into his ear.

I worked for aer lingus back in 2003/2004 cleaning airplanes during turnaround. Hoovering, wiping tables, emptying bins and toilets etc.

We got paid around 2000 a month for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. The thing is, we were only ever in there for 6.

We'd clean around 8 planes a day - each one would take an average of 10 minutes.

We spent most of the day back at the base sleeping, chatting, watching football, playing pool, playing darts, reading and eating. A fair bit of time was spent on the apron waiting for planes to land.

You should have heard the indignation and outrage when it was suggested that we become more efficient! Aer lingus was struggling back then and really needed to reduce costs. The whole experience put me off siptu and other trade unions for well-off people.

Well done, it obviously worked.

Unfortunatley in the early 90's he told me my services were no longer required and then promptly disappeared up his own arse

I have a cushy job, Office Manager.
I feel like Ricky Gervais sometimes and doing a victory dance

Used to work in the post room for a big insurance company. Loved the job, could get fairly boring but you'd be moving around all day delivering post and doing the odd job here and there. Could stop for a chat for a while and nobody would care. Then the wife told me I was capable of more, so I moved to the IT dept and now wish I was back in the post room.

I had one job where I had two work two hours a day, 4 days a week. It was a summer job and I got paid a full time wage for it. I was monitoring fisheries, but the fishermen only came in between 5 and 7 pm. And they were only allowed fish mon - thurs. The rest of the day was spent fishing (I caught one fish. My hook caught it's tail and I dragged it out backwards), wandering on the beach and catching up on sleep.

Tesco Offo - enjoyed it and was easily able to get all the work done, late evenings were quiet and lots of tea drinking to pass the time. Those were the days, I miss that job.
