Title: Not looking forward to work this week ...... Anyone else ?
Post by: spudboy6 on 22 July 2012, 23:30
Most people on here would love to have my forthcoming week but it sucks this week honest .....

Monday - spark plugs on a Aston Martin DB9 . I want to kill the bloke who stuck the inlet manifolds over the plugs 15min plug change turns in to 6hours ....

Tuesday - ABS module on Ferrari 360 another pain right under the front , wiper motor out scuttle off ect ect 3hours of back breaking pain from leaning in the boot

Wednesday - cat converter mk5 R32 something decent !

Don't even get me started on the exhaust I've got to stick back on the Austin Healy :(


Anyone else not looking forward to work ??

Think yourself lucky you've got a job.

Good, maybe advertise here then.

Its a pity you are 6yrs too early, as I'm tied until 2018 and plan on settling in Benson.

im in work and have been since 7. even though i have a days holiday today....


my fault though, couldnt remember if today was my last day on holiday or my first day back at work, so going to try get it off at some other point this week...hopefully so not too bad, however, first day back at work after 2 weeks of drinking cheep spanish beer is a right killer. also having no sleep sat night didnt help...

I rather liked today, had a little walk down to a client site early this morning to fix his computer and setup a new one. We talked about the most random things in his office over looking a nice spot in Oxford. I then took a stroll over to another client site to show them how to use a printer :rolleyes: and a stroll back to the office at which point it was about 2pm so time for lunch, next thing you know it's almost 6pm, ended up leaving after 7pm helping someone else with a problem they reported at 5:58pm. It was a good day and lovely weather to be strolling around a posh part of Oxford  :cool:

Tomorrow's forecast looks to be another scorcher and another trip or two out the office  :cool:

I spent 6 hours working in 50 degree heat working on a hot oil system and was soaked though with sweat and the other 3 hours I was sat on my arse having a heat stress break outside  :cool:

But on wednesday and thursday am working on the roof on a monomer extract fan while trying to get a tan and avoiding dive bombing seagulls  :grin:
