::gasp:: waatteeerrrrrrrrrrr....
We've started putting pressure on the bosses at work to give us a water cooler thingywotsit.
It hit 33 degrees away from the welders today. And once you're welding you have to stop every few minutes to wipe away the dripping sweat. Same with polishing. In fact I have a huge motherfucker burn all along my forarm from accidently swiping it across a piece of metal I'd just polished. It's about three inches by half and inch. And my polisher keeps getting too hot to hold, then cutting out completely.
Anyway, we don't have any drinking water in the place - we all drink it anyway, but it's not really safe. Which sucks. Obviously.
I went blood doning just now, and the guy who sat with me used to work for my company...and he told me that the first time he met Rich (The guy who owns the company, my boss), when Rich was just a boy, working as a fitter...he couldn't work saturdays because he was still working his community service order ::sniggers:: So despite seeming whiter than white, he's sure got a past! (Although now he owns our place he's sure successful, so he obviously calmed down a bit!)
Anyway, now I'm off to the dog track to bet my wages on some puppies. Woohoo!
