Morning chicks with d1cks

Can't sleep, excited about the offer we put in on the house and worried about the amount of work we have ahead of us. I believe red wine and blind luck will help us through.

Today is one more viewing, got to do it as we have put people out of their way to see it, a plod around a golf course (this is a holiday) after all and some form of celebration of the wifes birthday! Think she'll get what i usually get her.........wet!

Have fun at work until you can escape.

    Rain forecast then?

    Morning cruddites....

    Slow day today at work, need to keep something in reserve for another day at work tomorrow after all, big meeting tomorrow when I have to tell a project chief engineer why his latest project is going to be an unmitigatable disaster unless a lot of remedial action is taken - can see that being taken well......

    Morning Losers!

    Well yesterday my department passed the assessment and are now officially have the Customer Service of Excellence Award. It ended up being a bit of a downer though as just a few minutes before we were told, they announced the news on Terry Pratchett, and the guy was a hero to me so it was a little deflating.

    Today, I just have to survive til 4pm, and then I'm freeee until Monday.

    Laters!
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Right, Crudders party at BG's new gaff. It already has ditches so no digging necessary, although you might have to help with the building work. TKM can do any soldering, Stevo can mitigate taxes, Rookie seems to be a project management type, Matt can drink for all of us and I'll do the shirking. Kev will moan his ribs hurt so can go in a ditch, not sure what the others do so can't really say.
    Anyway. Thank fark it's Fryday, the cafe is calling me already and I'm thinking about what to have. Until then tea and ginger nuts will have to do.

    Friday 13th meh. Windows update took out some redirected folders and I'm senior technician for three schools today while people are on holiday. Think I'll go bury my head in the sand and hope nothing comes of it.

    Tell them it's the Fryday 13th virus and not to touch anything until Monday, hopefully the others will be back by then.
    Didn't know what you did so missed you off the job list for the Crudders holiday pad, looks like you are in charge of IT then.

    Good luck bg, hope you like wine, garlic and paying tax cos there'll be plenty of all of them :) Whereabouts in frogland is it again?

    Evening Twunts, I pedalled in and out of work today with a vengeance so am well and truly knackered now. But a lie in tomorrow so WTF. I've miserably failed to organise a holiday so far but CBA to do any more on that tonight. Think I'll just have a drink instead.

    Nice one bg. Good idea to get a professional for the tax stuff, otherwise you'll get stuffed and mounted!

    God no, I work for a living!

    While I am a proper engineer, I currently report directly to the 'head of engineering quality' in an oversight role......
