We've Got The Builders In
Finally, after months of anticipation, work has started on the refurbishment on the 麻豆官网首页入口 building in Inverness. It means the car park is out of use for all but two of our news vehicles and we've had to beg and borrow spaces from friends, neighbours and local hoteliers.
The work will take about nine months and when things really get going the majority of staff will housed in Portacabins at the back of the building. We're being asked to minimise the demand for extra accommodation by clever use of flexible hours and homeworking. I broke this news to Mrz Z last night.
"You mean you'll be working here during the day? In our house?"
"Well, " I said, sensing the need to tread carefully, "that's just an idea at this stage..."
"But you'll disrupt my whole day...you wont be able to work with me hoovering...you'll hog the telephone...you'll be in the kitchen making cups of tea.."
"So...you're not keen?"
"I didn't say that."
Oh well, it's good to know I'm always welcome in my own home. Later Mrs Z was talking about the imminent arrival of our new puppy and discussing the detailed plans for its sleeping area and external pen."
I was going to suggest that we could build a pen for me too...but I was already in the doghouse.
