P-P-P-Pick Up A Porter
Quote of the moment:
"It's ok if you have something to think about, otherwise you'll fall asleep from boredom." - Supervisor describing my job for the day, Thursday 7th April.
I got a call from Bell about 12.30pm, just after Will and Kaz had left, saying I had employment from 2.30 until 11pm. Hurrah! That did mean abandoning Rob and Vince in my house, but they had the Cube and hopefully Vicky stopped them getting lost. I was working at AdAl Engineering in Witham, which makes small steel parts for various machines, I believe. My job for 8 hours, with half an hour break in the middle, was putting small rings of steel into a press, then pulling the handle down to bevel the top edge. Interesting. It was interrupted several times by the machine jamming though, which gave me at least a ten minute break each time while it was fixed!
The company, as suggested by the name still being on most of the boxes, was until recently called WHJ Fagg & Son Ltd. LOL.
Today I got another phonecall about the same time, saying they didn't need me back for that job today (phew!) but if I could work on the weekend, I could get £6 an hour portering at Waterfront Place in Chelmsford. Saturday from 5pm, Sunday from around midday (I can't actually remember!) and the prospect of more next week. Having been informed I'm busy on Thursday at a Camp America briefing in London, Bell still phoned back to say I'm on for Wednesday, Friday and next weekend as well, and that they'd get someone else just for Thursday night. I feel so wanted!

Hehehehe!! COOOLLLL!!!:D:D You've got a JORB Villy!!!!! w00t!! Does mean you won't be on MSN much. D'oh!! So £6/hr, and how many hours? 8 hours of portering? That's £48 a day! Sounds alright to me..
Course, if you became a doctor, and you decided you needed some money, the you could go work in A&E for the weekend, and earn £24/hr!:D So that's making just about £200 in a day!:D Of, if you work 10hr shifts, then it's £240! But then again, you probably need to do a lot more work as a A&E doc, than you do as a porter... Hmm...
LOLage!! WHJ Fagg & Son made me rofl, it did! [giggles]
According to the Rob theory of Prill behaviour, you're on a mental high before you pitch back into a depressed low.
Will's addendum: it's probably due to having tea with too much sugar in.
Yeah... the job. See post above as soon as I post it.
TEA?! SUGAR???!!! NEEEVVVEEERRR!!!!
