.. Which is what I could do with.
Why is it that when an Engineer comes back to work after a break, rather than a gentle get-back-in-the-swing-of-things that many other professions enjoy, we get hurled straight back in at the deep end, with seemingly more to be done now than ever before.
Actually, that's probably unfair, as I've no doubt many professional people find that to be the case, but it does seem to me that Engineers get the worst of it. Phone call today to one of our subcontractors was very clear in that respect. Speak to the sales guys: not a care in the world. Speak to the contracts manager: fresh and breezy and insisting on telling me what a wonderful christmas he had in barbados (ohjustbuggeroffwillyou), but speak to the Engineer (which is who I wanted to speak to in the first place: absolutely run off his feet already, and unable to make a meeting for the next 3 weeks. Three bloody weeks? His diary was empty before christmas.
Mind you, so was mine, and it's rapidly filling up....
Moral of this story? either don't be an Engineer, or don't go on Holiday.
