I don't pretend not to work, I just don't. I shirk when the boss is here.
May not be true, but I have to fit in here.
Today will be spent explaining to students why they cheated, then to academics as to why their programmes aren't going to run and that they should pay attention to CMA0 -
Work? WTF is that? I forget...
Woke up today very stiff in all the wrong places thanks to last night's tennis game.
Surveyed the damage to the driveway after the "cool change" (read: screaming southerly gale) blew in about 1am. What a mess. Decided to avoid it and go to town instead. Picked up camera # 2 from the service centre today after its clean... rest of the day was just wasted basically. Dinner done, along with a particularly fine glass of shiraz or two, or three, maybe four? But who's counting, eh?Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -
I'll accept it's Wednesday as that means I have to go to the pub later.
Shirking is a strange thing, I consider myself quite lazy and don't really have to work that hard. But there are others around here that keep telling anyone that will listen how hard they work. Those are the laziest motherfuckers I've ever met. If I actually did any work I'd make them look even worse. So now if anyone tells me they are busy I don't believe them.
Need to go out and buy some fancy looking biscuits to send to customers so they think we care. Must get some lunch whilst I'm out. Had to drive in as I've got various things I need to carry home, bunking off early to avoid traffic.
I've only had two cups of tea so far, isn't it about time someone made me another one?0 -

If it was my decision that would certainly be a big plus point when employing staff, big norks would be a bigger plus point. Probably has something to do with why it's not my decision.

V68 why always tea?0 -
Mostly tea during the day for a variety of reasons. Mostly because I like it and that's what I get made for me. I limit myself to one strong cup of coffee a day and I have to make it as it's more of a faff. Instant coffee is the work of the devil. Beer if I'm out of an evening. Occasionally drink red wine with a meal.glass of shiraz or two, or three, maybe four? But I lost count?

This is the current cup of tea
Stevo should like the mug. Reminds me not to take things to seriously if they go tits up.0 -

Did you order tea or dishwater?????Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -
That's nothing compared to the way he drinks it, although things have improved. He drinks loads of tea, but really weak. I used t have to wave the teabag in the vague direction of his cup from the far side of the room. I've gradually increased the amount of tea I give him so he can tolerate tea flavoured tea now. That's a particularly weak one he's made there I grant you. He also tries to drink lager, if he's ever out with the rest of us we refuse to order it and make him drink real beer.^^

Morning fellow bell ends
Tea tastes shyte in Scotland, something to do with the very soft water, so I hardly drink it. Can't figure that out - soft water is acidic and hard water is alkaline? When I lived daan sowf, I used to drink it by the bucket load and I like my tea weak and my women strong. Apart from friends, it's about the only thing I look forward to if I head in that direction.
FWIW. Lager is disgusting stuff.
Might do some work, then again, I might not.

So far I have dealt with a whinging wife, whinging kids and problematic customers.
I have also dealt with a know it all bloody cockney who thinks that just because his building is 100 years old that any improvements/alterations don't have to conform to current building standards.
I've run out of chopped logs for the woodburner and apparently the tree needs to go up this week, no doubt tonight will involve me standing on a ladder outside in 20mph wind and sideways rain hanging twinkly bloody lights off the fascia boards.
All in all I'm fucked off.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
dammit. I have to do some actual work
Oil change on the engine. Which takes 350 litres of oil, 4 oil filters and a turbo oil filter. Oh well, it's nearly lunchtime and the sandwich shop near me has a Christmas special sandwich filling. Quite nice actually 0 -

Oooh, nice.
Is that a 16 cylinder marine engine?
Looks like the positioning of the filters means that it must be nigh on impossible to not spill oil everywhere when removing them.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Aka my boss. He drinks so much tea I have to say no occasionally. Maybe if he had more tea in his tea he wouldn't drink so much.Bizarre. You have a Tea B1tch.. lol.0 -
It's based on a marine engine, but purpose built for nat gas. there's a little drip tray underneath the filters which catches most of the oil, but you're right, it gets everywhereOooh, nice.

Does it run hot in natural gas? What does it drive?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0
-
It runs pretty hot, combustion chambers are usually around 400-450degC. We have various systems in place to use the excess heat that is produced; waste heat boilers and adsorption chillers. It powers half of Woking town centre!0
-
Is any of the gas sourced from anaerobic digestion?
I presume that it is driving a AC 440v genny, or higher?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
The gas is from the grid, I'm assuming from the north sea. The genny is 11kV, we can feed back into the grid as necessary, as well as export to our customers0

Both tea and mug look perfectly fine to me

Blimey, I turn up a bit late to the daily thread and it's turned into a geek fest again...get a grip you lot. Work is consisting of fighting internal battles today, but tonight I'm off to a Christmas quiz organised by a recruiter so it's free food and beer all evening 8)"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."
