19th April 2012
I was due to be working with the electrician again today, and he set me a task yesterday to complete before he got in (I arrived at 8am, he would stroll in at ten). It was very very cold where I was working in the old office above the workshop and what I was doing was extremely dull. I was sticking velcro to LED strip. Yup. Exciting. Oh - it also transpired this guy thought I was about 17 and doing some BTEC at college... which I didn't appreciate.

| Possibly the most boring thing ever. |

| Oh no wait; wrapping them in bundles was more boring. |
Then commenced the PAC testing. An important job I understand, but whilst I was not a trained electrician (of which there were two) it was my job to pick off bits of LX tape, old stickers and write new stickers. It was at this point that my patience was being heavily tested by this bloke who was condescending and presumed I was some kind of idiot. I don't mind doing menial tasks if I am benefiting from them in some way, but this really took the biscuit. It was the point where he was
telling (not asking) me to make him and this other guy cups of tea that I walked downstairs to the workshop and made myself look busy till I left.
