Thoughts:
It's back to work today. Fresh and raring to go, my homework is up-to-date so I have no worries that anyone will crash down on me asking me for a work-piece that should have been finished. The drawings that I constructed over the weekend have been copied into the project directory and although the deadline for the return of the quotation was last Friday (or so I was told, it's always the same; the date of the deadline that I am told is never the final date, the engineers use that as a form of pressure) I have been told that the drawings will have to have changes done within the next two weeks. At least he praised my work.
Bye,
see you all tomorrow xxx
