Not been on line for a while, busy days past and ahead.
Got conned at work on Tuesday, I was asked if I would escort 2 engineers on site, as I was going to be there for a couple of hours anyway on another job. I was told the engineers would be done by 1 p.m. They didn't finish until 5 p.m. and we were 80 miles from home. I was a bit miffed at the blatant lie told by their control (they had booked on site for 8 hours.) but at least I was able to learn a new part of the job.
Wednesday was a long, cold day 90 miles in the other direction.
Thursday was a trip to London for a project meeting, didn't get back home until half six at night - at least I remembered why I don't like public transport!
Friday back in the office, but my boss had some urgent tasks for me, so didn't get any regular stuff done.
Saturday, visit my Mother in Law, who has dementia / alzheimers - damn but she isn't the woman she once was, she's at that malleable, pitiable stage - still wants to go home, but doesn't remember where home is, getting so excited at having an ice cream, but totally disconnected from life. Powerless Bill, powerless. At least she's warm, well fed and cared for.
Sunday, trim the hedge, then spend 6 hours in teh shed, putting the old AJS back together, took me all afternoon to do what a skilled man could do in his tea break but hey, not once did I throw hte spanners out the shed door, even when I repeatedly had to undo what I'd just done because I'd missed a bit out.
Anyway, next week, Monday office, targets and objectives, processes and procedures writing, resource planning, then 3 days in Glasgow, 2 surveys and a days training, cat going in the cattery while I'm away, back on Thursday, short day Friday then it's the weekend (in the shed) again.
