So much for that then

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Well I did manage to get the guitar out of the wrapping and then the fog lifted *DOH!* So back to work in wet foggy (it kept coming in and then clearing) conditions.. And when it’s in the cold was biting.. Anyway went right to bed after this shift as you came imagine!

Grumpy..

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Well I was a little annoyed to find we were doing the last cable but not too surprised when I saw the Fog coming in (came down in seconds), and the current has been creating hassle too. Anyway we managed to get it sorted out and left the end for the day shift guys before [...]

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

I managed a full 5 hours without hassle last night and got up at 8pm (thinking it was 9pm) then played me Guitar for an hour got me washing sorted.. Chatted to Angel, Horay, and generally got sorted before me shift, for a change. The shift has been a right nightmare though with us working [...]

Friday, March 12th, 2010

I remember when I was I kid I used to hate Sundays.. not because of what happened on them.. no more because all Sunday I was dreading Monday and School! That changed about 16-17 years ago I used to look forward to Sunday because of Magic and Monday’s and all the other things.. Saturday and [...]

Getting ready :(

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Spent a couple of hours trying to talk someone out of making a mistake, should have just accepted they wanted to do it and charged them for the time.. would have been much easier than all the hassle I went through.. Oh well.. Hounds went onto the hills this afternoon.. was a good laugh actually [...]
