Can you explain the situation a bit better?

/prepares himself for the typical ovary/sleep with his/her mum type comments...

Do the workmate shuffle?

I think you could get a better one while only losing £7.

Result.

Guy i used to work with did this as well, we used to let him get on with it knowing he'd mess it up then drop him in it when it all came crashing down as he would always mess it up

ask screwdriver to tell screw and nut to pair up between a wood and then ask chain holder to stay with screw and nut but keep watch on chaing. hold him up when needed.

Use the tool, to tighten the chain? or is it not the right tool for the job?

hardc0re_tid · 3 Feb 2008 at 10:30

So are you saying that your workmates name is tool from the thread title?

Easyrider calling someone a tool (althought not well phrased) should probably be taken quite loosely.

Get used to it mate, I worked in many teams over 20 years and theres always one weak point. But it's not your job to make the call - if you have a good manager or supervisor, they should see the weakest link and do something about it.

At least if its someone else - it isn't you that everyone is talking about...

Once you begin working your way up in a profession, there could come a time when you are the muppet in the group (whether you like to admit it or not). Thats when the stress will really set in

Awesome band.

I'd like to see a one-man-band interpretation of Tool.

Fuzz · 3 Feb 2008 at 20:56

Easyrider, any chance of you stringing a legible sentence together?
