Whitby

A few days off in Whitby with the family. Shays-long in the bed room should make for some discreet mucky fun!!!

She looked really hot in her leggings and little vest top when I got home.....could have fucked her there and then!

Will need to get her in a new outfit sometime soon...,,

Ice reports

This evening draft versions of my ice experience and project reports were sent to 8 chartered civil engineers.

Tim commented to me on the phone today that the first 6 pages of the project report were a bit 'clunky' and will need some reviewing. However, he did also comment that it is evident that much work has gone into them and I shouldn't be too worried.

Heres hoping that our 5pm meeting on Thursday yields some constructive advice and realisation that I can do much more than is currently being asked of me!

Attitude towards money

We are almost into the 12 month run up to my wedding......attitude towards money has to change!

There has to be a fucking good reason for me to separate myself from my money....already given a rant on buying lots of drinks and getting completely pissed on nights out....now it's time to start thinking about every day things.

iDisks go to Phils wedding because it would cost too much....I have ignored Otley runs because they cost too much money......today I didnt buy screen wash because I was sure I had some at home in the garage.

Tight to start justifying all expenditure and planning expenses and not breaching the budget!!!!!

First draft reports submitted

Today I gave a draft copy of my experience and draft reports to the senior project manager. Feels like there is a weight off me.

I've also got my man room tidied up which has been depressing me for a while.....I think I'll have two separate work areas....painting and studying. Week after next I'll get the garage sorted....

Pay rise / senior engineer

Gareth suggested that pay rise details will be delivered some time this week....eagerly awaiting.

I am listed as senior engineer on hq job....actual grade within the company doesnt reflect this. Can't help but feeling that icl are getting something for free......however at lwa I was kind of senior engineer as well as graduate engineer, at least now I only have to be a senior engineer

Overheard a telephone conversation today...I wonder what 'w falls off the back of g' means...particularly when discussed between a com ad and a od.

Paid for bike

Today I gave rainbow motorcycles permission to take the remaining £1800 out of my account for my motorbike. Rainbow will store it for me but they didn't seem too happy about me not having my test booked!

Two days back at interserve. Atmosphere seems a bit frosty....maybe they don't thinking as good as they used to think I was...maybe balcony steel has something to do with it?

Good progress this evening on my project report. Just got the summary section to write and the first draft will be done. Goal is still to deliver the first drafts to readers on Monday. Will be hard going but I think if I stay as focused as I did this evening I'll be ok....appendices, diagrams and figures won't be quite there but everything else will.

Still quite tempted by a fishing seat box but am not quite sure that I actually want one....may be it's just the 'look' that I'm after?

Next time at Aston

I think next time I go to Aston I'll fish the lake with the island. Short range float work will do me good. Next pay packet I will invest in a new float rod and some 6lb line for feeder fishing. A good reel would probably be a sound investment but today has proved that my little cheapy is up to the job.

The tungsten rig weights made fantastic float stops. Much better than dragging split shot up and down my line.

Biggest fish ever!!!

Today I set out with the objective of catching a carp. I got the biggest I've ever caught!!!!!




I didn't fish very well.

Didn't plumb depth correctly
Didn't cast well
Didn't feed sensibly

However, the change to the feeder from the float really made the difference....and I got the reward!

Next time I will plumb up effectively, do it first without adding a single split shot to the line. Then I will mark that depth on my float rod using a rubber band. With this datum set I can bounce around over depth / under depth all I like.

Pellet rigs worked well to hair rig some sweet corn...I think they little White maggot I also added may have helped attract the carp.

Boillies weren't up to much but I kind of expected that.

Aston feed pellets worked well when they were melted down with some water and blended with some method mix ground bait.

Incorrect post

The list below is actually incomplete and therefore incorrect....I missed out black libraries dead men walking!!!!

Well over ten read!!



Chickenhawk
Micheal macintyre
Alan sugar
Roadside crosses
The day of triffids
Shantaram
The man who broke into auschwitz
Memoirs of lt winters
Pig island

And currently 100 pages into Simon scarrows book 'the gladiator'

I have reached my target of ten books with the completion of pigisland but my ice progress is not going as well as could be. Hopefully this week will bring it back on target!

Good morning

This morning I was up at 7:30 and have dragged my project report up to 2804 words with 5 sections still to write. It isno where near a finished article but I do get the feeling that there is enough in it to be worthy of ceng standard....this may bite me on the arse later!!!!

My plan is to get the project report first draft complete for Monday....I'll then give it screw days rest whilst I go over my experience report.

When the reports are finished I need to through them and try and identify potential for questions during the interview.

I think my reports are now back on track but my 'ice syllabus' is way behind schedule.

First 550cc day

Yesterday was my first attempt at the 'big bikes'. Kyle mentioned that I actually rode thebigger bike better than the smaller bike....
However, riding the backs in the afternoon was on quite an easy route. The day began on the 125 bikes and I made a few fundamental errors riding these!

1. Changing direction on junction after other guy went the wrong way...test fail
2. Pulled up in a bus stop....test fail
3. Stopped at Amber light, locked up back wheel and nearly through myself off....test fail
4. Got lost going to smc and drove dangerously to get back with Kyle...test fail

Next two lessons are booked and should now look to book my mod 1....but getting a week day off to book it will be a bitch!!!

Arup update

Only one week left to go at arup and two of those days are bank holiday.

Then back to construction site work...I believe I will be the senior site engineer but I don't think anything in my role will change since my last three years. The only difference now is that icl can fully hold me to account for all the fuck ups made in the command chain above me.

New pm is a man if procedure and policy. GL seems to believe he is a parerwork guy with little thought for getting the job right...I don't doubt GL's thoughts but am not sure I trust his ability to form the judgement.

I believe the procedures and paperwork can actually be used to strengthen site activity. They are but a means to an end to help you do your job properly and prove that you have done your job properly.

There is a place for all the paperwork provided that all the shitty site coordination and headless chicken work is done beforehand.

Keep net

Picked up a keepnet this morning from backside tackle, £35 but looks to be good quality. Got a net bag from Aston park fisheries £20....added bonus is that it fits my bloody awkward chair in!

I wish I had bought a pint of maggots from either of these shops....maybe will have stopped me clanking in my first match this morning!

I think I need a trip to Aston park to get a carp under my belt.....maybe a a good quality reel loaded with 8lb line and a new float rod (but what's wrong with the kingfisher classic I've had for best part of 15 years....)

1st ever fishing match

At syndicate lake this morning. Complete disaster, not a single fish!

Got some bites on the feeder but nothing at all on the pole float. I dont think I Plummed the depth right on the pole float.....next time I think I need to plumb the float without the shot having any effect on the float. Must be plummet hard on the bottom and float in the water (not the plummet in the bottom, float cocked by the shot and a heap of crumpled line between shot and plummet!)

Not confident casting the feeder with a load of other anglers watching.....or holding the pole at a comfortable angle when fishing.
