Had an interesting day.
First off, two blokes that work for me are off. Colin and Ben. Over the weekend, Ben slept with Colin's girlfriend, while Colin was away. Luckilly Colin is off as he's on a car rally, but he knows what's happened and isn't amused. Ben has evaporated, but I'm sure will surface.
Added to that, I've had hassles from a customer. I have hired a cherry picker to do his work. Booked in weeks ago but the last bloke who hired the cherry picker broke it...and everytime I call the hire company to ask when I'll get the machine, they tell me tomorrow. This has been going on two weeks. Makes me look like a numpty, but don't want to hire from someone else as more expensive, and it will take a couple of days. My machine might be here tommorow!!
Then today, I froze a system to cut in two radiators. Did the link and defrosted it, only to hear the sound we all dread. There was an open end, as someone hadn't sweated in the link further down the line and my fault for not checking it. (The room was full of junk, and I just assumed it had been done). Luckilly no harm done, but it did flood out into the basement we're converting. Luckilly still a building site, but bit of a clean up job.
Then as leaving work. Customer called, no hot water. A two and a half round trip for me, and it was just a high limit trip on the immersion stat. I changed the stat, as I don't want it to trip again.
I'm allready on my second glass of vino, and eyeing the cupboard where the whisky lives!!
If you managed to read through my rant, well done, have a beer on me!!
