I’ve been back at work for over a month now but realise that I’ve been far too busy blogging about family life to add anything amusing from the daily (un)civil engineering happenings…
For the past two days the office has been pretty quiet. Don’t you just love it when technology fails? No phones for two days. My boss has commented on how much work he’s managing to do now there are no interruptions.
Only there are interruptions. Mobile phone interruptions for those fortunate (or perhaps unfortunate) folks have the things for work purposes. And for phones meant to be used for work purposes there are some very annoying ringtones - which means the rest of us are definitely “unfortunate”.
One manager has an alarm-type tone that gets louder the longer it rings. Which wouldn’t be quite so bad if he didn’t keep leaving his mobile on his desk while he vanishes off to have meetings with junior staff. This morning I’d like to take a sledge hammer to the thing. Or maybe just superglue it to his hand so he can’t leave it unattended ringing for so long!
