So fucking TIRED! I’ve slept plenty but still. I did a horrible job yesterday, which took all day. I have to move the van twice. Keep walking back to it to collect stuff….

I was asleep by 1930.


Anyway, today was big meeting day. For the big job we are taking on. 4 floors, a couple of thousand cables, etc…. It may not seem big for many, but for us, it is.

I’m going to be project managing our aspect of it. Got a team on it. Induction Thursday morning.

Another eternal sleep with no benefit.

I got a load of clean ups added to today. It looks like I’m gonna be travelling about London somewhat.

Hopefully, I’ll get them done. One is a pig.

Typical. I’ve been let down on the staff front already..It’s only 06:45!

It’s gonna be a long day!

The pig job wasn’t so bad in the end. I managed to get home around 3pm with no lunch.

I had another call from the housing association accusing me of noise, etc….

It’s just getting boring now.

I only have 5 minutes until I need to walk to Pilgrim Street from Queen Street for a site induction. I’m meeting the team that I’ll be managing. Hopefully, I’ll nick a couple of them afterwards to come back with me and help push this job forward.

Christ. That was laborious. 3 different inductions. Now I’ve brought a couple of the lads to help me, and they have to have another one.

End of the week. End of the month. As much as I enjoy the freedom I have when my boss is on holiday, I can’t wait for him to return and take some weight from my shoulders. At least it’s Friday. No extras tomorrow. I can turn off my alarm.


I had my eggs benedict and Guinness, as is the normal for Friday. Alone. Watching. Waiting.

The time we need. All of us.

The sweat salt from the day.

Saturday tomorrow.
