Why is it every time a start a new job, I seen to like it less than my old one?
It seems wages are inversely proportional to job enjoyment.

Yeah, it looks like they were riding like dicks. I've been on many rides with hundreds or thousands of other bikers and there were no incidents or at most a rider has slid on a diesel patch and low sided. Motorists generally made way for the bikes and none of the bikers road on the hard shoulder or the pavement. An outrider holding traffic at a junction is also fairly common practice, often on the rides I did, it was a police out rider, but I have also done it on a couple of occasions.
That was why I found the bit of the video that was shown was difficult to interpret, because there didn't seem to be any reason why the biker slowed down in front of the Range Rover and it did look like the Range Rover driver was to blame, he knocked the biker over, ran other bikers over and fled the scene. On the rides I have been on, such a driver would have been boxed in and held until a police officer arrived to arrest him.

First of all the driver hit the motor bike from the rear so it is his fault. What was he doing in the middle lane? He should have driven in the slow lane to allow them all to pass. Secondly he left the scene of an accident. If he stopped to check that the driver was okay then it might not have been a problem. The very least he should have done is stay in his car and call the police and an ambulance reporting a road accident with someone injured. Third he caused criminal damage in fleeing the accident by driving over the other motorbikes. If he had stayed he might have been attacked but the driving off guaranteed it. My sympathies are with the motor cyclists. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

Not sure but a lack of enjoyment or value in a job has been my reason for going elsewhere every time, just happens to be for more money each time. That said the lowest paid job I had was still one of the ones I enjoyed the most _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Should work with any WebGL enabled browser. It does work in Chrome, I just can't drive. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I think you need a browser with WebGL to play. Though the latest Safari has it disabled as default. While it might be a pain it does eliminate many risks out there. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

Exactly. I started out logging on about half the wages (maybe even a tad less) than I get now, but it was a much happier and less stressful job.
