CITB/ICE/SETPOINT will the abbreviations ever end?

A rather dull day, even by my standards. I need a new challenge at work! Setting out tunnel form has become rather boring! Steel erectors are foolish as normal, I jsut wish they'd listen rather than having to be told 4 times to do something, then not doing it because its hard and they'll have to undo what they've already done. All I can say is "if they'd listened in the first place".

My committee meeting tonight went well. Managed to make some good contacts and also understand more of what is going on in the ICE, as well as getting a say now. If anyone listens, thats a different matter. I did get the feeling that I was one of the more dynamic people in the room, but then thats what happens when engineers gather, always promised myself I'd at least attempt to stay vaguely interesting! Made some good points and got some useful info, will have to see where the next meeting takes us, but at least I dont have too much work to do for it all! On the bonus side I wasn't the only new person which kind of helped as it meant that I didn't look like a fool when I wasn't saying much on things. Overall they appear to be a nice enough bunch, will have to drag them down the pub and find out if they have personalities or not.

Other than that, the days been fairly uneventful and on that note it'll continue to be, as I'm quiting whilst I'm ahead. School kids to deal with tomorrow for CITB, so I'm guessing I'll be needing the sleep to up my patience threshold!
