Job Changed

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
This is my 'booth' in what is commonly known as 'Meerkat Manor' due to all the heads popping up now and then

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
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

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....

I just got out of Aberdoom (well, Dyce), and am heading to Houston.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire

This morning I traverssed Anderson Drive on my Diavel and saw a very tidy red R1100S heading north.

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

Love the Manor title.

Well, the windows don't open up on this floor, maybe that's enough to stop any deluge

To be honest, they seem a fairly cheery bunch, or maybe that's just the intravenous Starbucks
As for debt, I know the 'shire isn't in the top ten debtors, but Aberdoom City definitely is at £619m
