I have now run out of tiles, the night lads have been slapping them down..don't worry I'll be checking for any lippage on Monday. You would have thought this would have been a happy event, however the day shift lads threw a strop today over this. There is nothing I can do if the night lads are outpacing the day lads, mainly because at night there is less distractions...ie the canteen is not open! and the thai takeaway is closed! Whatever way I turn, there is someone giving me an ear-bashing.

At least I don't have to knock up anymore adhesive.

I see the light at the end of the tunnel....The Blackwall Tunnel that is. Another week of stupidness, the grills don't fit the channels, the access panels are to big, and the underfloor heating team forgot that there are lights to be core drilled, so left no 'blank spaces' have been left. It has been one hell of a week, the labourer didn't turn up on Tuesday, when the next delivery of tiles was arriving, as he had 'toothache' ...my a**e. So the apprentice, was left with lugging the whole lot down into the dry berth. This morning I got a text from the labourer saying he needed paying today as he had no money to get in tomorrow! ....I paid him two weeks money last week! That was it, I was on the warpath, another return site visit, do I look like I have MUG tatooed on my forehead? I flipped my lid, kicked a few buckets in various directions, and welded the spirit level, at which point he legged it.

Tonight I had a text, low and behold he's has now suddenly got the money and will be there tomorrow. Yes he will be there tomorrow, and so will I to do the dirty deed, and throw him of my site.

What is wrong with some of these kids?
