firstly...
memeage first:
I can't remember the real wording..but...leave me a comment and I'll pick my favourite out of your icons, then you post this in your journal.
And on to the rest of life...
The site today wasn't too bad, not as bad as we'd thought. Some bits of the job were wrong, but nothing we can't get over in the end - although the architect (who, given that most archi's are wankers, is working for the unfortunately-named 'Seamen Partnership'...well, it's funny when you say it, shuddup, I'm a child) has decided to try and change some things.
The other very irritating thing is that the vans and huts are miles away from the building and you have to clamber across the groundworks (up and down over walls and trenches etc) and dodge diggers and heavy plant to get to and fro, and the entire place is just knee-deep in mud and slime and it's rained like a mofu all day and tomorrow we're forecast 80mph wind...AND, to climax in this boringly long sentence...it's a CLEAN SITE. As in, we're not allowed to wear our dirty boots indoors without stupid plastic over-shoes that are bright blue (known by us as 'Smurf-feet') We have to dust after ourselves and not get any dirt or debris anywhere...it's all wank, it's dusty as hell.
And the building is going to be pressure-tested in a few weeks - this means we have to be super-careful with any fixings to walls that are external - if, when they pressure-test, they find any air escaping ANYWHERE in the building, they will have to track down that crack/screw-hole/pinprick and fill it with flame-retardent mastick. This is annoying (and if they do end up trying to find holes it will be a long long boring job in a four-storey huge big office block plus roof space).
