What a day i had ,went and priced up some work on a construction site,you know the sort of work they wanted done last week blah blah blah.Well it turns out i was going to be working through 5 contractor's lol .Bearing in mind it was pising down they tried to insist we start today 10.30 am ,we would of had to have an induction meeting [health and safety cr@p] first this lasts for 2 hours LOL.
The main contractor's were a french crowd,the workers came from Angola ,Portugal,Russia and god knows were else,put it like this no bugger could speak English.
We were also asked to bring a cat scanner and gennie along..
i thought this is strange we hadn't agreed on a price for works or anything,turns out they had some landscapers on site digging planting pits [holes for trees] and there was a gas main running under the planting area,they wanted muggins here to scan there holes,i told them i'm not a utility's engineer and why hasn't the planting gang got there own gennie and cat , turns out none of them are certificated to use a cat ,i smelled a rat! i think if they hit a gas main it would be blamed on my my cat scanning..all in all it turned out to be a wasted journey **** i don't work for a shower of **** like this ,what makes me laugh is they only called me Friday.
I SOMETIMES WONDER WHAT THE HECK THE WORLD HAS COME TOO !!!
WHAT MAKES IT WORSE, ON THE PHONE I WAS ALWAYS DEALING WITH A OBNOXIOUS 20 YEAR OLD GIRL,WHO DIDN'T KNOW HER ASS HOLE FROM BREAKFAST TIME !!
