Yes I have decided my job is utterly pointless.
I spend all my time getting planning permissions for things that shouldn't need permission from people who have nothing better to do than chickenshit about every comma and finally pass it onto a bunch of knobs who know sod all about anything - can't even read the drawings provided - to make some arbitrary unqualified decision. - they might as well just pick numbers out of a hat as to which gets passed.

and if someone could be bothered to look and realise what a complete waste of time it is we could stop doing it and no one would even notice. !

And I could spend my time drawing things that might actually be worthwhile. - (on a computer that doesn't freeze every ten minutes)

If someone can come up with a more pointless occupation please let me know.

Every week I collect recycling from houses, and every week we go back and there's more!

At least on the jobs you do you get to submit the applications... on our jobs the application is often given to Planning Consultants to manage, which just means they fill the forms in and hassle us for all the information, then get paid half our fee to do nothing... bitter, me? You bet your boots.

I spend my time testing things, then they get thrown on top of a rocket and no-one ever sees them again.
What is the feckin' point???
