As our workplace becomes more and more regulated by HACCP teams, H&S, production requirements, meeting PPMs (scheduled maintanance), BRC audit requirements, breakdowns etc etc etc..its becoming increasingly diffcult to actually get some work done. I was servicing a machine, left my toolkit open while i left to visit the toilet for a few minutes...To find the HACCP leader has (kindly and mildly) reminded me this is not acceptable, risk of unauthorised use of tools by others, risk of product contamination etc etc. All fair points...but I defended the point today by saying...
'Its fair comment, but what you're trying to do is nail us down, regulate the job , quite rightly, to the point where we do it absolutely by the book. Thats would be wonderful, but our world isnt like that. We struggle to get access to machines in the first place, once we're there, it may be we have to finish before the work is complete, if production is deemed more important, then on other occasions we are called half way through to another job, there's a whole myriad of ever changing circumstances and occasions why we cant work in a regulated way. We're not fighting against you...but there has to be flexibilty in the way we work....hehe, or the company have to hire another couple engineers'
Point was made, HACCP team leader is more understanding...and will compromise and modify the procedure requirements...
'But don't leave your tools spread around though, at least put them in your box before you leave the area temporarily'
'Its a fair cop, will do'

A trailer for Jurrasic World was on the TV with scenes of Tyrannosaurus etc ....no doubt the same kind of storyline to the previous films...
Me to the wife...
'Oh fer chrissakes, they've done it again. EVERY time they do this, some poor hapless sod gets eaten by a T Rex, the dinosaurs escape,......you'd think they'd have learned by now, but no, they keep making the same mistakes, when WILL they learn'

user: The system that you have installed is rubbish, every day I print this report off, I have to print off another page with the correct address on it., stick it on the report and photocopy it
me: Have you reported this to your manager so we can change the report
user: No I am to busy manually fixing all the mistakes on the reports this rubbish system produces

15 henchmen have the most psychotic, licensed-to-kill, badass British agent in history tied up, drugged and at gunpoint, but instead of taking the opportunity to kill him to death lethally in a quick, effective, and 100% fatal way, they decide to leave it to some bloody shark to do their job for them, or maybe try and do it using some particularly clunky contraption, which always fails!

Today, my cousin posted some really old photos of my grandfather and my cousin, who was a baby at the time, on Facebook. Among the bunch of photos was one of my grandmother with brown hair.
My other cousin (19) remarked to my aunt: "It's weird seeing Granny without grey hair."
My grandfather replied with, "Tell Callum that Granny wasn't always this old."

A while ago I was talking to a manager...a colleague from the office passed nearby and asked me something...manager turned to her and responded, he assumed she was talking to him. She looked at him and said in her no nonsense way...
'Im talking to the man that does, not the man that just talks'
Manager...
Me...

Stopped at the co-op in the village on my way home this evening. As I was locking the bike up, an elderly couple walked out, just as a car passed by slowly (too narrow to go at any kind of speed, even if you want to) with all the windows open as it was beautifully sunny.
A little but very loud voice came from the back seat: "Mummy! Mummy! They look just like my Nana and my Grandpa!"

My landlord's partially deaf and my hearing's not great so we often seem to get our wires crossed in casual conversation, but yesterday's was the best yet. I was wheeling my bike out of the shed when he came round the corner and asked if I was going to the Isle of Man competition. I couldn't think what he was on about so after a pause that went on slightly too long, mumbled something about wanting to go there one day. He looked confused. I felt the same. We went our separate ways.
I didn't think anything more about it until I cycled into town this afternoon and saw all the road closure signs for today's Exmoor Iron Man sufferfest. I'm not sure if my landlord misunderstood the name of the event or if I misheard him but when the penny dropped, it was as though it had fallen from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

PM: yeah sure I will bring you one, no one else wants to wear them, they think they look daft
ME: no, not at all
