Bit of an up and down week at work, quiet some days others rushed off my feet. Late Tuesday was asked to take a trip to Riccarton in Edinburgh. Me and a co-worker had to take three machines up, install them and come back. Long day, not helped by the fact that the van rental company cocked up and decided we need the van Thursday and not Wednesday so we had to rush round trying to find a rental from elsewhere. That meant we didn’t get on the M56 until about 10.30. Journey was suprisingly good, some roadworks but no hold-ups. Muchos snow up north. Tried to get all three machines up and running only to find out that one appeared to be broken. So set up the other two and left the third. Got back to Chester about 12.30am Thursday so both of us were shattered. Had my usual bi-weekly meeting with the boss that afternoon who asked what I was doing in (to which I replied "I work here.") and told me to take some time off - so may have this Friday as a work-free day. Had a bit of a bust-up with some staff over at one of our US plants (the one that was our sister plant). It’s ended up with me having to do twice as much work for one bit of a project because they’ve decided they want something completely different from us, despite agreeing to harmonise several months ago. I’m going to start looking at robots - something I know nothing about (anyone here know anything?) Was going to go and have a few pints of Guinness on Friday night, but couldn’t be bothered. Watched the first three episodes of Firefly yesterday. I wonder does it get any better cos I didn’t actually think they were that wonderful
