Top 10 Bizarre Professions in History

Posted by Q.AB. 18 December, 2009 (0) Comment

Before the industrial era, when there was no electricity,  many jobs that now require no or little labor, were undertaken by humans. This list consists mostly of those jobs which are now extinct. In this list each job contains at least one strange element. As I enjoyed writing about these jobs, lets hope that you people will also enjoy reading it.

1 – Gong Farmer

stronghold-2-20041202034934763-000-tm

Gong farmer or gongfermor was a person who removed human excrement from privies and cesspits in Tudor England. Gong farmers worked only at night and collected the human waste, taking it out from the city or town. They were only allowed to work at night from 9pm to 5 am morning.

Now as flushing water closets became more widely used, this profession has blissfully disappeared now.

In easy words it can be said that really was a shit job.

Humor Can Become Offense on Workplace

Posted by Q.AB. 16 November, 2009 (0) Comment

A smile on face is a best exercise for face muscles, a laugh is best for heart and hypertension it’s said by doctors. But smile and laugh can be made while working when there will be any joke or humor on working place. In my opinion a good joke that makes you laugh makes you relax in workplace.

But the jokes on workplace can effect backward also I mean if a joke is misunderstood then there is possibility other will take it as insult so results wont be good for that. That’s why its necessary for us working on place where diverse workforce is working to be careful while making any joke or humor.

diversity

Place where diverse workforce is working one should have to see that the thing which will be a joke for him for other community or country person it can be an insulting thing. That’s why the places or companies where different country people work under one roof, one should have to see about that. Read the rest of this entry

Your pain can be felt by any individual, if you work in an office and your co-workers are annoying. Sometimes the colleagues in the office make it so easy to achieve your office goals and sometimes this diversity can make the environment awful and agonizing. We have categorized The most terrible and irritating office workers into Top 10 classes. These most annoying workers are listed in reverse order of their irritating nature.

10. The Wanderer:loiterer

Some office workers just aimlessly walk in your cabin without any agenda, plan or chat/talk 3 to 4 times a day. They just wander in your cabin and when you ask them what’s up. They reply in a very pleasant way that he or she is just watching what you are doing, and after that they just leave the cabin.

These are the colleague who eats in all office hours and also produce constant sound of crushing is coming from their mouth, fruits, candies, cakes, snakes and what not.

A glimpse from Airline Buyer’s life

Posted by R. MAK. 25 February, 2009 (0) Comment

Running an Airline is big business, everything is upscale there. every thing is larger than life. Those who are big know how difficult it is to be big. Ever went buying for an XXL shirt? most people don’t have them. Likewise, when you are buying for an airline, you just can’t go to local hardware shop and buy stuff. It is very difficult to source vendors in a competitive industry. To give you an idea of how difficult and bizarre it is to buy stuff for an airline, here is how airlines buy Paint. (believe me they buy shit loads of them)

First, a summary of how ordinary hardware stores sell their paint…

Customer: Hi. How much is your paint?

Clerk: We have regular quality paint for $18 a gallon and premium paint for $25. How many gallons would you like?

Customer: Five gallons of regular paint please.

Clerk: Great. That will be $90 plus tax.

The Heaviest Element Yet Discovered

Posted by R. MAK. 5 February, 2009 (0) Comment


For Immediate Release:

New Chemical Element Discovered:

The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by investigators at a major US research university.


The element, tentatively, named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons, which gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons. It is also surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
