On the seventh day of Christmas.....

"On the seventh day of Christmas, my line manager gave to me?..seven quantity surveyors.
Six pointless phone calls,
Five managerial appointments,
Four ways of contact,
Three dodgy taches,
Two fantasy makers,
And a presentation in a systems tree."

Training all day and the end of the training sessions for this year, thank goodness! Commercial in the morning and then Quantity Surveyors (Q.S.s) in the afternoon, seven of them in fact. What do you call a group of Q.S.s? A couple of suggestions include a Work in Progress, the Department of Make Believe or an Ego of Q.S.s. A difficult session and some highfalutin talk going on, it was almost a jackpot session on Buzzword Bingo. But that's it now for this year so I am now going to retire to the bar for a nice relaxing drink.

The weather has been dreadful up here today it has been blowing a gale, and the rain has been lashing against the windows so hard you were worried it was going to break the windows. It's amazing to see that the star on top of the hotel still remains intact. With that star and the time of year it is do you think they've ever said the immortal words "there's no room at the inn"?

Apologies as well for not commenting recently it has been difficult to find the time but I promise I will try to catch up, I enjoy all your journals so much.
