Beard. Green golf shirt, shorts. (I had been playing golf by the way, I don't just go out like that!) I walked right past you, on your bloody tablet, picking your nose casually! Why/how long you there for?
I'm here for quite a while, actually. I'm doing some consultancy work in the city. I'm staying in the University halls. I take the bendy bus into work in the morning, then back to campus in the evening. I go home on Fridays. I'm here for at least 6 weeks. Next time you see me, come up and say hello.
Do you have the green band for breakfast then? Very nice full english too, had one on Monday. Happy to meet you for an coffee, just say the word. As your bendy bus leaves the car park through the temp traffic lights, there's a construction site on your right. I'm in there. We finish the project end of next week.
I don't wear the band, just carry it. But, yeah, great buffet breakfast! I'll be there at around 8:30am tomorrow. Then again on Friday morning.
So, Chief, you working for the construction company that's doing those major works? What's that going to be? More halls of residence?
No, a new School of Management building. We've done the enabling (infrastructure) works and a two story basement. Quiet now, just finishing up. Another contractor comes in in Sept and builds a five story faculty on top. I do Civil's works not buildings. I'm the PM. (aka the one in a tabard, carrying a sweeping brush, obvs). I take it you're living the dream in The Quads? I stayed there a year ago when we started the job. @Skylarker has a favourite bar there but it's not open this week.
Cool. It's a massive site. Yep. I've gone upmarket with an ensuite room. I can just about swing a cat in it. One of my main men is here, too?!! This is too ****ing much!
