Mr. Grumpy

My little mechanic is now officially fed up with work experience. He had to clean up all of this sludge yesterday from 11:30am until almost 5pm. Angus was covered in dirty, smelly brown gunk! He didn't want to go today complaining that he had a headache (an almost fool-proof way to get out of work) and that he had sore legs. Guess what?! He still went. He was told to suck it up take some paracetemol and go. If you were out in the real world you can't take the day off because you don't feel like going in today. It doesn't work that way!

Of course Mr. Grumpy was in a terribly foul mood when I dropped him off this morning. I truly do hope that he has a better day today.

My Little Mechanic

We have a little mechanic in our midst this week. Angus is on work experience. He's working at one of the businesses in town. Yesterday he had to clear the bins, sweep the floor, wash cars and helped take a gearbox out of a car (I believe they're finishing it today). He's having a ball! There was only one complaint and that was his feet were sore. Angus is so used to sitting on his butt at his laptop that he doesn't get to stand around all that much.

Today is day two and he was very excited about going to "work" this morning. Let's see how he fares by the end of the week (o_~) when his feet might be ready to fall off.
