Work disgruntlement

You know how you have those days at work where you think "I cant be bothered today" or the days where you are really under-stimulated and you gradually get more annoyed and agitated.

Well this is happening to me. My job is a boring repetitive job and I become frustrated and other various things annoy the hell out of me. I'm feeling like the guy at your office that you wouldn't let look after the pens, the guy you wouldn't trust with the simplest of tasks.

Anyway, today, it was fairly near the end of the day just before 6pm. All the work that had to be done was done and now we were just clearing up, getting things put away and basically getting things ready for Monday  morning. Well me and 2 other people that I share a lift with were just saying how we hadn't got a written copy of our contracts. 

Then the boss comes up and gives me a job to do which I go and start doing. This in it self doesn't hack me off, the thing that does is that the boss and the two people I was talking with were still standing there talking. I was the only one who was told to do something. Why should I bust my arse while you are still chatting? Send me away so you can criticise me, bad mouth me behind my back. This is what it could look like, send one person away and you keep talking. I felt excluded and humiliated in a small way because of this.
