Job Changed

Post by Bikerhoss »

After nearly 25 years of being 'out and about', I've landed at job (still with the cooncil) but up in Aberdoom at Aberdeenshire Council HQ :shock:

This is my 'booth' in what is commonly known as 'Meerkat Manor' due to all the heads popping up now and then :lol: Heaven or Hell depending on your view :?:

6 weeks in now, and it's still taking a bit of getting used to. Shirt and tie a bit different than worky troos and boots, and I can't nip home in the van for a fly cuppa and let the dogs oot! Still, I got two screens to play with, warm and dry office, and I can look at t'internet when I get a moment :wink:

The only problem is, I'm going to give myself a heart attack raging at lane hoggers on the commute, either that or get reported for undertaking a'body every morn :evil:

In fact ..... after checking your photo from Cairn O Mount .... I think I did see you on the BCR last Wednesday morning about five past seven, I was going south on Anderson Drive in my car.

Yes, I also saw you filter off Anderson drive onto Westburn road this morning. I was in a car so didn't wave :-)

I also became an office wallah earlier this year back in Aberdoom and its taking a lot of getting used to....

Out of the frying pan and into the fire :shock:

LOL, Where are Aberdoom in Scotlands LA Debt list? We are well down it in the Borders with only a Debt of 193 million which costs us 19 million a year to service. Our Council is SHxte :!: nefarious, deviant, rapacious bxstards.

Bikerhoss, how many suicides do you have in your department? Looks more like cell block H :wink: Love the Manor title.

Well, the windows don't open up on this floor, maybe that's enough to stop any deluge :lol: To be honest, they seem a fairly cheery bunch, or maybe that's just the intravenous Starbucks :shock:

As for debt, I know the 'shire isn't in the top ten debtors, but Aberdoom City definitely is at £619m :!:
