Serves you right for f**k**g off home on Monday and Tuesday then doesn't it? Because you were hung over too depressed.

I'm only doing 40 minutes today but that's because I've got fcuk all on.

Few half days this week all fiddly little jobs that need bonding and sealing and stuff that has to go off before I can do anything else to it.

Couple of full days next week and then fcuk knows.

f**k I need to get back to UK.
 
Actually....I know Jess's USP is girl plasterers, but do you think if I put a bit of slap on, we might get past her customers? She's a man homo pair of hands down, isn't she?

Cheerful sidenote...Jordan lived in fear of Alex Ried getting the horn. When he did, he'd wheel that monstrous thing out and chase her about the house with it. It's called Roxanne if I remember right. She said it was terrifying.

It's logistics. Though most people in UK don't consider Ireland abroad, it is. So I will in fact, be emigrating which is a substantial undertaking. You need a job and a place to live and some money and you need them all together at the same time....with work being so thin on the ground here, it's very difficult to get ahead. Nobody is building or renovating. Plus, who I can work for is ...put it this way, to a jobbing builder I'm a f**k**g Godsend because I can hold my own on site in all aspects of, say, a small extension.
Footings? Sure. Consider it done.
Brickes got a question? Steve's the foreman, ask him. He'll have the plans.
Base? No problems.
Pad...float it up today, Boss.
Did you do the drains? Of course I did, you f**k**g mong.
Board it, skim it, render it...no problem.
Roof it, fit the fascia and soffit, fit the gutters, lay the paths.

Goddammit, with me around a jobbing builder can more or less walk off site when we break ground and come back just in time to collect the money.

But for specialist trades, I'm not much more than a jumped up labourer. Which is awkward when it comes to applying for jobs and not many people who desperately need a guy like me advertising for one.

Bada bing...there it is.

Well I know a guy that could do with someone like you here. You’d either be best mates or kill each other though. But he is one of the good builders you come across

That happened with the guy who showed me around the world of small building contracting...damn near killed each other...the trouble was that as I got better, he just wanted more and more and more but never put the money up.

We didn't fall out though. Not in any meaningful way. I came back up to give him a ladder back a day or two later, then I saw him on the boat a week or so after that and he bought me a pint and asked what I was doing now.

Speak to him by all means :) thanks.

I've just been let down massively, actually. There's a fcuk load of maintenance to do where I'm working just now but there's some bloke swaggering about like he owns the place doing some of what I was hoping to get.

Too long a story for now bu tit looks like the Irish mafia has been at work.

Very funny....Two people controlling money. I got one block but the main management company have four more and I wanted all. Management company got someone else in at same time and because the fella I'm working for is a QS and wants to be involved in everything, even though he's in Dublin.

Now, this makes things very slow...I don't mind that because I bill him by the day, even if I'm only there for an hour (Don;t do half days) But it means that this other prick has been able to get more done by going direct to the mangement company bloke whereas I have to go through the QS guy.

f**k**g pain in the arse because I really needed that work.

Ten f**k**g phone calls and 'can you send me pictures?' and on and fuckign on this guy goes.
The last problem has been him agonising about the insurance involved in using a hoist. About a week he was thinking about it. The other fella just went and got one and did his.

Have you ever worked for an engineer?
