It has rained a fair bit but still managing to get a tan regardless.

Despite being the lowest rung on the ladder they have given me a desk in the site office so I can skive there when required in return for sorting IT issues. Sorted.

The workload is fairly light and mostly done in the evenings anyway so I was getting a bit bored with daytime TV and trying to find the motivation to get on the bike or go to the gym. A mate of mine is the project manager for a new health centre build near where I live and suggested coming to work for his company as a labourer on the building site.

One month on and a fitter, leaner Cliphead is enjoying this complete departure from IT. It sure ain't a career change but it's a great way to get fit, shout at subcontractors and feel like I've earned a pint or two at the day's end.

I'm sure that it will be fun provided that it doesn't rain too much where you live.
