Title: I'm Bored!
Post by: Robspot on January 25, 2008, 02:00:40 pm
Jesus it's dull today. Nobody's posted anything for 34 minutes and I've got to sit here for another 4 hours with nothing more exciting to do than maybe some work. However I'm not in a work mood.

Any ideas to liven up the day or at least start some of you posting.

Im bored aswell. Just had a new windscreen fitted to my car as a nice stone decided he would crack mine yesterday :(


As for tonight I have a date with a girl who went to my school, shes now in the fire service and STUNNING! I cant believe shes even talking to me :lol:

Weekends actions are -

Saturday – going to fit new cam seals, cambelt, cv boots & oil change on the car
Sunday – pick my mate up in Manchester at 7am then drive to Northampton to pick up a car


Should be a good weekend really :)

I find that staring out of the window at all student totty walking past helps relieve boredom!

Off to ASDA now!

I'm in an office on my own and I hate all my staff (I'm the boss  :o )

Temporary relief of boredom though, the Anal Contractors Organisation have replied to my email to tell me they sent my allocation letter yesterday. Still won't f**k*ng tell me what the allocation is though.

I'll have to wait to see which delightful immigrant the post office entrust with a half arsed delivery attempt some time in May.

Previous 4 hours now cut to 3 as wife is away for the night and pub attendance at 4pm has slipped into the equation.

Oh, and for all you people who work for someone else.

If your boss appears to be hard at work in his office he isn't. He's surfing the internet like me and probably looking at porn.

I have done my shopping and managed to find a "site visit" to do.... "site" being drivers seat of the Chavalier and "visit" being my local for a 4pm sherbert or 2.

Marvelous! ;D

I'm in an office on my own

So am I, and have been since 7am. 3 phone calls & 1 email received. Don't know what the bosses are doing as they at head office miles away. Nothing to look at outside, except for the mosque.

Just sat surfing & listening to music, waiting for more info so I can carry on working.

For the last 3 months been paperwork at home and visiting site fairly regularly.

Really getting pissed off doing 'As Builts' and final filing. So been working part time and visiting my 'local' at lunch time. Every working day! Basically, we have been delayed on phase 2 and I'm trying to spead the time so to speal.

But today was different. Yes, today I went to 'local', then home for shower prior Chiropractor (my back). Have to have XRays on Tuesday (booked).

Walking back home, called into offy for a bottle of FG when I got a call!!!!!!!

Client needs all paperwork. Client needs me to take 1-3 month 'holiday'!!!!!!!! before phase 2 and aint got any work or 'funds' to pay me for time away. Being a contractor, I have no option.

They have 7 big jobs and every one has been delayed.

They do this at their risk though. Once I sign a 3-6 contract, I will not terminate early as I do not 'Burn Bridges'.

Am I Right or Wrong in that?

But what the F***, I am enjoying life.

Im a recruiter myself - I look after construction PM's, but used to look after surveyors, main contractor and PQS, I still know a few people so if you need a new contract it's worth dropping me a PM, the least I would do is put you in touch with a couple of people (non monkey type recruiters who won't fling your CV forward for an administrators job or anything) and take a look at what I've got going on at the moment for you.

Construction companies are calling upon flexible resource more and more as economic uncertainty leads them to keep thier options open so that they can "dispose" of staff when necessary - contractors give them that option.  If your client has no more work for you, you have to look after yourself - tell them one of you is giving notice, and that if they want you back they can either find you something to do, or risk you not being available when they need you - you're a flexible resource, not a flaming call off consultancy.....clients wind me up sometimes :)
