    Hola d1x,

    Been doing some pointing up some scaffold that's about as interesting as having to travel over 700 miles knowing UK roads and traffic await!

    Still, time for foods.

    Toodles.

    I hope he's ready for the M25 - it's a bit messy this afternoon.

    He'll be fine. it's not like someones thrown a bridge at the M20 so they've closed it for the weekend. Oh, hang on...
    Went out for lunch with an old friend, had lunch in the pub we used to work in and reminisced about much nonsense. Came home and went over to a neighbour's to drink his beer so he doesn't have to pack it up to move house next week. Good way to spend a Saturday.

    Morning twunts,

    If Tlw1 got through France, survived the Calais car jackers, navigated the M20 detour and reached the M25 then he's a lucky sausage! I fancy he'll be M25 bound for a good few days.

    In other news i'll be mainly pointing dodgy wall up some scaffold..............sweet!

    I don't think I'm qualified to point at walls, I can however direct others to point at walls.
    Today I will mostly be bone idle, probably with beer.
    Has TLW made it back to the UK yet?

    He posted over in BB so seems he's alive despite the sabotage attempts :)

    Done a bit of shopping around for house, car and hound insurance - all due this month so its going to be expensive. Now being generally lazy although not sure I am as good as V68 at it.

    Monday

    Mehning Losers!

    Today I feel like I could have done with another 30 mins sleep, not much, just a bit. Meh.

    I have to deal with retard minion for the forseeable future. Good minion left last Wednesday (though got offered a job on the 5th floor of the building on Friday! Cheeky sod!) so retard minion is going into overdrive of "What are we going to do!? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!!!???" *sigh*
    I'm dealing with it the only way I know how; I'm locking myself away in a different room.

    Laters!

    That's dull. We managed to take 11 hours to do 400 miles on the way to Italy, got stuck because of roadworks at the Gotthard tunnel. Would have taken longer if we hadn't turned off to go over the top.
    I think it's going to be a long week, but not as long as it's going to be for TLW. Drizzly ride in playing with the traffic really made it feel like September.

    Working from home today to get stuff done without interference from morons or minions, which meant and extra hour in bed and better coffee than normal. Good way to start the week I guess.

    Tuesday

    Morning Losers!

    Yesterday went pretty well as I got cracking with some work. I've plenty more to do (because I should have been doing it for weeks!) but it's good as it's getting me away from retard minion.

    I sympathise with both of those points. Wait a couple of months and you'll be looking at universities and planning for a year off, at least it feels that way. The boy turns 18 this month :shock:
    Very warm and muggy out this morning, had to drive in as I have a customer coming in and we are going to a pub for lunch. Fortunately he's a good bloke so it won't be painful.

    Mad day but pedalling home was good as I hit every green light going. As opposed to every red on the way in.

    Now dossing watching a cheapo horror flick on the horror channel.

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    Had a terrible nights sleep after hearing some news just before bed about a divorcing couples problems. The Dad is taking the mum to court as he believes she isn't letting him see his daughters. The truth is that she is fine with them seeing him, but the daughters don't want to see him! Hate is a strong word, but the more sh1t like this he pulls, they get closer to it!

    Anywho, Today I am building more Mac computers. It's quite dull and tedious, however it is in a fully air conditioned room, and that's been absolutely amazing.

    Good day ladies,

    Done a few hours of pointing at walls, now as is customary in France I'm having a few hours for lunch where bread cheese and wine will happen then a siesta.



    Anyhow, how is your working day going?

    Toodles.

    Working day not too bad so far, customers could screw it up yet I suppose. Just been out for lunch in Twickenham with the EPO, bunking off at 4:30. Pub later.

    Busy day with lots of networking and minion hunting involved. Interviewing prospective victims starts tomorrow morning. Have chucked half the CVs in the bin to avoid hiring unlucky people and will read a couple of CVs over a pint of cider this evening :)

    Thursday

    Morning Losers!

    This week is flying by, amazing what happens when you have a bit of work to do! :lol:

    Today I'd better sort out the practical test that the new-minion-candidates will be doing on Friday. It needs to be along the lines of regular things they will encounter during work here, but with a nice devilish twist. Hmmm :evil:

    I dreamt of running my own Pub Van last night, doing the rounds of housing estates serving pints instead of ice creams. I was raking it in, it was a good dream.

    Morning girls,

    There are strange water droplets falling from some horrible looking cloudy things, if anyone can let me know what's going on it'll be appreciated.

    Off out to look at chickens today, should be fun.
