Dreading tomorrow

[Rickster123]

It's going to be a bad day. For a start I'm off to slough at 6am. Then to top it off I've got a safety inspection being done by an independent assessor. Spent the evening tidying the van, organising tools,labelling power tools, finding all my ppe. Hate things like this. I've been told to make no jokes and not to be seen having a smoke in the van!

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Where are you in Slough?

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Not that I'll be meeting you at 6!!!!!

 

[Rickster123]

SL1 somewhere. 82 bleeding miles away!

 

[ShaunCorbs]

[Rickster123]

[rocketmanbkk]

I could be around to say a hello & provide protection in the ghetto

 

[Rickster123]

Let him find something small. After that he thinks he has done his job.then will miss everything else!
Slap on the wrist and your off.

I've had the van cleaned by the polish mob round the corner! It's never smelt so fresh!

I'm more worried about the big stuff that I never normally do!

 

[jonnyswamp]

Stroll in with a chainsaw hanging from your tool belt, explaining that you only use it for notching joists and never when there are others present
I'm sure he'll/she'll appreciate it

Is that all? I filled the van yesterday evening, reset the clock as I always do, called out at 11pm to Londonderry, got back at half 3, asleep 4ish, up again at 6, back up to Londonderry, then on to Belfast and then home. Filled the van again this evening, reset the clock....... 350+ miles........

The H&S guy has 'popped' in to see me 3 times in the last 5 weeks trying to catch me out. He knows where we all are because he has an app on his phone that links in to the tracker system.

What he don't know is, because I'm a supervisor, I have the app too. And I've worked out how to set an alarm so I know when someone is within 5 miles of me.

"Oh ho! Alfie's nearby! Commence operation flannel!"

 

[Dotty]

Yeah but you're commercial...

And good looking.

And tired.

And fractious.

And sober

And on call until Monday. ..........

 

[Dotty]

And 22,000........

Early starts and long distances aren't for me, I got up at 8:30 this morning and drove 3 miles to my bathroom.
