So the last person into the meeting today was the PM. He's a contractor. Arrived 10 minutes late looking like he'd just crawled out of bed. Disappeared after half an hour for a 20 minute cigarette break.
He couldn't join a conf call at 8am (before coming to the office), claiming his computer wasn't working. He brings it in, the ClientCo manager switches it off and then back on - lo and behold it works.
11.30am, PM is currently on Tinder. Still hasn't plugged his laptop in, so will wait until the battery dies, then claim he can't do any work.
Meanwhile I am tired, bored and not sure the direction the project is going in.
...in other news, last month's invoice has been paid already, so it's not all bad.
I'm feeling a tad better today. The vague grumbling from my guts appears to have subsided for now, and no excessive degree of snottiness has yet manifested itself. Fingers crossed, and so forth
But have heard from ms#4 who is visiting textile factories in Bangladesh and she was "pleasantly surprised" by them - so that's good; I'd imagined they'd be grim. Perhaps things really have improved since the building collapse a couple of years back. She's enjoying celebrity status, photographed everywhere she goes. They see very few westerners, and I'm guessing even fewer female ones.
