How much thinking are you allowed do in an office?
I always worked on building sites up until about 10 years ago. Now I've moved to a level where I deal with office staff and have to direct them a bit on certain things. I always thought office staff were doing whizz kid stuff like programming strategic computer stuff and negotiating deals with Chinese suppliers.
Twice in the last year somebody has pulled out an xl spreadsheet and bragged that they did this themselves, one of the spreadsheets had been changed so that high priority jobs were in blue and low priority were in yellow and the other spreadsheet was just area codes and addresses of sites we visit in a certain region of jobs. They were explaining these things to me like they were landmark industry changing spreadsheets and letting me know the bosses don't realise how talented they are.
Are you all just doing data entry off a script? There are people in this office building 20 years I heard one of them looking at a job report and asking me what a booler was because one of the plumbers job reports said changed spark electrodes on booler (he probably typed it on his phones with wet hands) she hadn't got the cop on after 20 years in the building industry doing this very same job to figure out booler probably meant boiler.
