Then think to stand with a jackhammer from early morning to late evening. After a few weeks you feel it in your back and his arms, etc.

How many hours are you supposed to be allowed to use a jackhammer for?

My boss is truly a jackass:

My ever-diligent boss hard at work...

The day goes by much quicker thanks to my co-worker. He's a real ham:

krash and co-worker

I've had the odd incompetent over the years but always tried to give them a wide birth whenever possible and especially in physical confrontation situations.

Everyone has them, just like every employer deals with incompetent employees.
The people I have most problems with are engineers and safety officers who don't know their job yet still have to be dealt with....I find that asking them a question is a very good way of getting rid of them.

If only the same could be done with incompetent politicians, and in-laws.

A trait which you bring with you to the forum. 99.9% of your posts are factually correct (like the famous disinfectant, I only say 99.9% as I don't know if there is a 0.1% but I'm just covering my arse) but they don't generally come across in a pleasant way. Just saying, we aren't (all) engineers or safety officers.

Is that a redundant word in there.
Then again you wouldn't expect an answer or a checking of facts from a politician would you so are they really incompetent?

Hey I am very polite and mild mannered here, in comparison.

I wouldn't even say 50%

There you go, thank you, that's the 0.1% inaccuracy (or germs) I was looking for.

Are you just being a troll....

But hey on the offchance that you ain't just being a troll can you think of the two usual ways to hurt your back using a jackhammer?(have a clue, they are two things you are not supposed to do).

I believe you were really interested in how his back was hurt. I also believe trap doors should be standard in a canoe.

You can believe in the tooth fairy for all I care, you are just being a troll

There was no mention of the tooth fairy. Call it what you like.

Ok my workday began at 0700 and finished at the 1530th In between I had some regular breaks. 0900-0915, 1200-1230 and 1400-1415. After I had been taught how such a contraption worked and how I would work with it correctly, I was also told, that I could hold the breaks I might be needed

Although I worked maybe 20-30 minutes at a time and then held a 5-10 minutes breaks, I could feel it in my back after a week of using a jackhammer (Hilti)

The tooth fairy has been put on hold while OHSA try and figure out a decent anchor point for the safety harness.

Thats because you were getting exposed to both hand and full body vibration for a long time, the breaks are not only supposed to be split during the workday but during the week too.
The other common problem one was the vibrator, the difference being that unlike the jackhammer you would tend to get someone like fatsos brother Soopaman mentions always going for that job day after day because...well its "easy". They end up even more buggered than the fella getting shaken on the hammer.
