jules Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I have not smoked since Tuesday This morning I left the whole site office in silence when my forman made the comment that the dryliners need help daily cleaning up their mess due to there on a price. At which point I lost it I when into the contractual details in grate detail as to why they are no different to any other trade on site and will clean up there mess or there price work is hard to do from the other side of the gates. Then all the guys that were in my office slowly and quality left on after the other making there various excuses. The other Site manager that shares my office sat and said "he is giving up smoking" Laughing now everyone is keeping well out of my way. Its grate. And I feel much better for not smoking I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, when the "foreign" parts of French conncetion company used to email or Fax the UK office they always headed the documents with the shortcut of FC-UK and never realised how the UK office used to laugh, then a 21yr old office "boy" suggested to the MD UK they should use it - wonder if he still makes the tea? joy of being lisdexic Dont have that excuse here, but I do have an excuse, Im a draftsman, and as our lecturer told us, the only qualification needed is the ability to abbreviate! i.e. Through = thro, diameter = dia, etc etc etc after a few years, the brain goes into this permanent mind set. Ne way, i is goin 2 work m8 - or is that ali g and txt geek speak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Keep going Jules! B) Dan's given up - 3 weeks and 1 day now, not too many stressed moments ... at the beginning there was a fascination with carrot sticks and chewy fruit sweets, but his ditched that as well now. Even survived a SLRC Committee meeting and several nights out at the pub with mates with no problems at all! ...this weekend we're working on the Series however, so it could be interestin'! (just think, any money saved can be spent on the Landies - good news B) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
