Well i wrote got the idea of this update at the weekend, but never got round to writing it. I am now going to write it, with more added and in a lot less jolly mood . . .
People that you should not live with
1) Liars
I lived with one for most of last year and you get to the point where you don't want to talk to them anymore. They make up stories to try and impress you and as soon as they open their mouths you start not to listen beacuse they are lying.
2 People with No Money.
When someone is told not to come back to work until after the wet (mid march) and they arrive second week of January and then complain that they have no work you do get a bit frustrated. We have had this happen this year and are now sharing the quarters with a 72yo Grader/dozer driver that is unable to work because it's too wet. He sits in the quarters all day watching tv and does absolutly nothing else. It really pisses me off.
3. Dirty People
See number two for the person I am talking about. When I fiirst started at Jessievale, we used to lean the quarters about once every 10 days. It was never spotless, but was always pretty clean and tidy. Now we are cleaning almost everyday after work, even though there is somebody here all day every day that is quite able to pick up a brush and sweep the floor. We are having to clean up his mess and he doesn't even seem to notice let alone care. You have to tell him not to wear his boots inside the house. He rolls his tabacco and drops it on the floor never bothering to pick it up. I swaer I will sell the f++++ng stuff back to him one day.
4. Smokers
They spend more time smoking than doing work, they drop their tabacco on the floor and some of them smell. The one we currently have here arrived while I was away and started smoking inside. I asked him not too, even setting him up a chair on the veranda with an ash tray at the side. He now closes his door and smokes in his room - he must think I am stupid. He stinks when he comes out of his room and even when out are near the outside wall of his room you can smell it. The last one used to leave his tab ends all over the place - plant pots on the steps, by the phone. Tney are just dirty.
Well thats enough whinging for one day.
