Argg! A load of keys have stopped working on my k'bd!!!
That's better, a quick thump with the end of my fist sorted that one out - I didn't fancy copying and pasting m,y,n and some other letters that had stopped working!! :-(
It's been a while - so how has everyone been?
Any new developments? What has been the topic of the month in Talk-About? Gun-control, Reagan's death, European elections, Iraq? I've been missing my daily dose of the DMZ!
I've been working on a building site these last two weeks, and before that I was doing office work. Hence the lack of time I've been on AO. Building work has been really refreshing! Not used to the environment at all, and as I am 'a bit posh', I thought I wouldn't last a second on the site, lol.
Lugging things around all day is knackering, and really gives you an appetite. And the work can be quite fulfilling. My misgivings about working on a site turned out to be completely misplaced - everyone's really friendly, although there can be a lot of foul language flying about, and people will take the p!ss out of each other - you just have to give as good as you get.
The best part of the job is the fact that, even though I get up at 6 every morning for an 8 o' clock start, I rarely finish later than two (and get paid for a full day) - this week I finished at 10.30am twice - got paid for a full day, and yesterday we got to the site at 8.50 [50 mins late] - were on the site for ten mins, realised that none of the stuff we had asked for had turned up, so went home and got paid a half day. I love this job! I must be quite unique inasmuch as I have two physics degrees and am a qualified EFL instructor, but I do a manual job - but I am happy!!!
Tell me about anything cool or not so cool that has happened to you recently...
Regards,
Cyberus
