I've been temping for the last couple of weeks, because I need some money while I find a permanent job after graduating.

I have worked at two different places, for one week each. Both of them have been factory work, and both of them had radio's in, and I've realised a couple of things:

1. Radio DJ's, especially on Essex FM (which I was forced to endure, as I couldn't get XFM on the radio) are a complete bunch of faggots. There are the most childish, rubbish crap-spewing people to ever have been born. They act as if all their listeners are about 4 years old. It's pathetic. Radio 2 is no better, which I had to put up with on the second week. Steve Wright is a complete t0$ser, for example.

2. Most radio ad's also treat the listener as if they are a child. I would never buy a product after hearing the radio ad out of principle, they're all sh!te.

3. People only want the radio on, so they don't have to talk to each other. If the wireless is spewing out some mindless crap, then people can get away with out talking to the person next to them. Then, when the news comes on, which is the only part I'd like to listen to, they talk all the way through it.

Roll on getting me a proper job!

one point i found was that anything that's number 1 is on all day. for example that hollywood song from madonna was on quite a lot at the beginning of the summer holidays.

I was actually a postman, for two saturday mornings. Ignoring getting up at 6am it was great, and I just loved chatting up those old ladies out walking their dogs....

For graduates, those ARE proper jobs. You could always take a side step into Communications Delivery Specialist or Sanitation Engineer (postman and dustman) which pay better, though.

I hate radios, DJs and poorly executed BJs. And poorly executed prisoners.
