boring at times,
clients being utterly useless,
not having all the info you need,
being told after you 'think' you've finished something that affects EVERYTHING you've already done.

Panicky site agents ringing you every five minutes.
Panicky site agents not signing over daywork variation orders.
Panicky site agents hassling subbies and putting other trades in their way.
Panicky site agents full stop.

Very dirty (Working in London Underground Tunnels)
Can get physical at times whilst working in a 30 degree tunnel, with cement dust in the air, making your hair stick up harder than any gel on this planet

i'm the youngest here by a long shot so people aren't exactly on my wave length.
there are too many blue shirt wearers thinking they know more about my job than i do when they really don't have a clue.
