I was once employed to stand on a pipe for two days. A building agency sent me to work as a labourer for some pipe fitters two floors underground in the dingiest cellar known to mankind. My task was to counterweight the pipe while it was set level by standing on it.
Why the hell they couldn’t just have found a lump of stone to do my job (thus saving themselves �90) beats me. It is a sad state of affairs when you realise that a lump of stone could actually do your job better than you.
