Day 188, levelling skips

The toughest job in the world.

Levelling skips.

Don't know about you but the poor folk that have the task of levelling skips have my sympathy.

Here's a toughie, I guess they gave up and went away after a quick phone call to the boss.

"Hey boss"
"Yup?"
"Hey boss, I done the levelling"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, it was kinda tricky, had to put an old dead dog under one end to get it nearer the horizontal"
"A dead dog you say, that goes against normal procedure, but hey, as long as you got it level"
"Yeah sure boss, it was hard work but it's done, soooo er, bye now."

A not completely convincing attempt there by the zero hours contract employee.  That isn't going to get them very far in their wish to become an apprentice to a skip painter.


At another skip levelling organisation the sun is shining and a temp calls in.
"Yo, gaffer"
"To whom are you referring?"
"Don't shit me bro there's a skip that's levelled and I'm calling it in"
"I see, good job.  Hopefully it really is on the level?"
"Waaaaaay, abso-mondo-luterly, you couldn't skin a chicken with the angle I has it at"
"Well let's see once the supervisor has checked it to sign it off"
"Ha ha hahaha, looooser, ain't no problem with my levelling no way, seeya, wouldn't wanna eat dinner with ya"
"(Sigh), honestly, the influence of the Teletubbies is still with us for goodness sake"

Slightly less toss than the previous attempt but this new member of the skip squad has made more of an effort. 


Further west, another skip organisation is at work.
"Base.  How do you read"
"Five by five, remote worker.  Standing by for your skip report.  Over"
"The skip was on time.  Residuals before levelling: (garbled)"
"We've lost all data with remote worker.  Please reacquire on the high gain.  Over"
"Yeah, residuals before levelling, all resolved, only a slight declination which could be rectified with trim correction.  Over"
"Good job remote worker.  Throttle down and return to base.  Over"
"Copy that.  Returning to base."

A much more organised levelling attempt by the outfit from Houston.  With skills like that in abundance they should have no difficulty in quashing all competition in the area - as long as they retain the high-gain S-Band antenna and private comms channel their secret should remain secure.
