worset working day in my life!!!

[Hitch]

Not at all pan, just when you are told one thing, make plans around that, turn up at the job, only to have the goal posts moved while you were not looking.

Theres no one worst, but theres been a fair few like that!!!

Like turning up, and the ground workers had burried all the pads we were working from, under 2 ft of wet clay earth

No lifting equiptment on site.....

Raining....

No access to get near where we needed to unload....


Its a familiar story, but somehow, it get overcome every time.

had a job booked in for yesterday and today, easy job paper a room and gloss the wood work. customer said that she'll get the room ready for me coming, got there, she tried to strip the wall and got feed up, so she left it to me, i told her straight away that it will take me longer to do, theres one thing i really really hate about decorating is stripping wallpaper, drives me nuts, i wont even do it now, if i get a job that needs wallpaper stripping i get a labourer in to do it, i forgot to take my pain killers on the morning and forgot to take them to work with me so my hips and back were killing me all day i couldnt even eat my dinner! theres was four layers of wallpaper to strip off! i was working away thinking i fecking hate working like this, i was even thinking about changing careers!!!
just wondering what has been your worse't day at work?

Next time feva send for me, I love stripping paper.

I am a sad bint really, as I really enjoy stripping paper, you could leave me in a house, and as long as I have tea facillites, my radio, I am over the moon.
Like I said, I am a sad bint.

This is one of the reasons I hate it when client says they will do all the stripping, taking down rails, pics etc.
I go in, and they havent stripped behind the rads, or left bits of paper on the walls.
Left rails up, curtains, light shades, and loads of those picture hooks things that you hammer into the wall.

you must be sad bobbie if you enjoy stripping wallpaper, drives me mental, it just bugs me when you get your mind set about what your doing that day then it gets changed, if i know that theres wallpaper to strip on a job, il bring a labourer in to do it, then at most it only takes me half a hour going round getting rid of all the little bits they have forgot.

I was driving into Sarajevo one day and saw an attractive young woman walking quickly along the pavement, I was stuck in traffic, about 10 younguns (8 to 14) were throwing half bricks at her, she was bleeding from the face, head, and the bricks continued, I thought what should I do, Sensible Jason said stay in the car, I did, now experience has told me,

dont argue with tradesmens quotes.



No actually, there were probably at least two Fuc$ing marksmen waiting to take out any c**t stupid enough to help her, she was albanian in the RS sector

When the men in white come for you Jason, go quietly and don't argue.

[Wood Magnet]

And there where a few of our lads waiting for their marksmen to make a show.
