whats pissed you off today?

Having a conversation on site today that went Like this.....
Client 'what level is this concrete base at?
Me ' 150mm down'
Client ' why the @@$//&**/$#/^ did you do that?'
Me ' because you told me to on friday'
He then rang my brother( my boss) and proceeded to call me every name under the Sun.....
Then he decided to try to pick fault with some footings we'd been pouring and accusing me of screwing them up, even though I explained that they were low as we couldn't get enough concrete until today to finish them..... so he rang my brother again to have a go... so we pulled our blokes off site and stopped his £2m job. Then my brother went on site and proved to him that everything is ok....
I hate it when some tit thinks they are an expert in my line of work yet know feck all, and they think my 20 odd years experience stand for nothing...oh and most architects couldnt draw curtains let alone a house

so I went back today.. he redesigned the spec again and all my concrete levels from last week are wrong. So I told him to redesign it back or pay me 2 grand to break it out, then I left.

Finishing work at half three today and being told I'm taking the old van tomorrow (which chucks out clouds of smoke and makes me wheezy) into Newcastle as it takes our other part time driver (my stepdad) too long around town, so they're sending him to Manchester and expecting it to be an 8-9 hour day for him, sometimes wish I'd never got him the job here as he really struggles to lift the casks.

Plus I like the overtime, gives me well over £300 a week instead of my basic pay of under £270

Because the BBC won't willingly show anything the working British man wants to watch.... footie, f1, top gear, music shows, big movies etc... even though we are the people who pay themm
