Oo, that fair sets me teeth on edge. You must be careful when using soap to avoid getting any in your eye because that really stings.

Ouch!

Yes, I suppose, to use an Americanism "That really sucks!"



Terri.

I find soap has a tendency to sting when you're w**king very hard. Is this normal, or am I spending so much time w**king that it makes my skin tender?

I find if I w**k to much I get terrible aches in my right wrist....is that normal?

I wear a wrist splint when I w**k now ... it's really helped my comfort level!

I like to have the radio on when I'm w**king...a lot of the time I get totally distracted...and start to daydream while I'm w**king...usually about boys....

I really should get a wrist brace for when I'm w**king. My right wrist, especially, is so bad it sounds like I'm grinding pepper when I move it. Or maybe I just need one of those ergonomic keyboards at w**k. Think they'll supply me with one?

Yes, these w**k related injuries are on the increase they say. Are you in a union? Solidarity, mass w**k outs, lightning strikes, w**king to rule; the issues raised can be immense.

Terri.

Absolutely! W**kers of the world rise up! Show us what you're made of!

Absolutely! Blood, sweat, tears,

er....

I think.

(must , w**k to do & all that! Sometimes it can be difficult to fit it all in....)

I was wondering who has succeeded Bill Morris as head of the Transport & General W**kers union. Maybe they should get one of those students who hang around outside clubs selling the Socialist W**ker.

Returning briefly to the time i w**ked in a door handle factory. It's just occurred to me that i gave the impression that us men were the hardest w**kers, i'd like to correct this inaccuracy now.

While it's true that the men w**ked very hard polishing the knobs, the little ladies were just as busy w**king, but obviously they were more involved with the knockers.

Sorry for any confusion.

I have just been reading my employers guidlines for lone w**kers.

It says that you should always tell a co-w**ker if you plan to do any w**k alone, what the w**k will be and when the w**k is likely to be over. If you are undertaking any w**k that is dangerous you should not w**k alone, but have some one there incase there is an accident. They will be able to help you with your w**k or fetch others to help if you are incapacitated.

Obviously ther are also guidlines for wearing PPE whilst w**king but I'll post those tomorrow. Back to w**k now.

I'm spending so much time w**king in front of this computer screen, I think it's making me blind.

W**king your fingers to the bone, eh?

You should take matters in hand, stop beating about the bush and tell everyone that you've come to the point where you can't take any more.

Due to my w**k-related wrist injury, I've applied for W**ker's Compensation. I'm having a difficult time getting coverage from them. I need physical therapy, as the doctors want to w**k with me in a clinical setting. I may have to get a lawyer to w**k with me to get the W**ker's Comp people w**king to my benefit!

W**k, w**k, w**k, that's all i ever hear from you lot. Come on , get a life, there's more to life than w**king til you drop.

Well, I've really got w**k-related obligations for the next 5 hours or so...so w**k is all I can think about right now...

airscotia - I wasn't aware you could hear me w**king. I mean, I do w**k in a noisy fashion, but you must still have exceptional hearing.

I'm taking a break from w**king properly, for a couple of weeks. Instead I'll be w**king at home for a week.

My wife and kids are away, so first I'll be w**king with my brother-in-law. Then my father-in-law will come and give me a hand. I find it's important to have my family's support while w**king.

It might be a bit uncomfortable but there's a lot of w**king at home, nowadays. It's especially hard when the family is around, so it'll be relaxing in a way.

Then after w**king at home all week, I'll join my wife and family for a supposedly w**k free week at a holiday cottage. However, my mother-in-law has asked my wife if I can w**k a bit, once I get there. Apparently she's relying on me to w**k on the cottage, just so that she doesn't have to pay someone else to w**k on it.

It's a hard life being a willing w**ker.
