Random things you see while at work

Post by Don Carlos »

Today, while looking out of the window in work, I saw The Queen. How very random.

sounds like you guys need to do more of the working and less looking out of windows.

I was walking back from a client's site in Covent Garden recently and saw a guy carrying a rabbit on a leash.

I am parked beside a diamond drill rig.
Outside my truck window I see the Sbuphiso "Sweety" the driller pushing hard for meters. I see my guys Robert and Twala hauling core boxes full of what I hope is shitloads of gold core into the back of my truck.
I see Petrus making sure our water supply is working.
I see Subiso and Delta cleaning and loading from the core barrel another 6 meter run of core into a new core box.
I also see Petrus #2 applying enviromentally safe lubricating grease on 6 meter Drill rod.
I can hear from my window the rock is soft since the drill is not making a lot of racket and the diesel engine is not working too hard. I think we will have a good 100 meter plus day drilling vertically. 130 meters left to do in this hole. From my window I see my worst worker Crowes digging a new sump amazingly by leaning on his shovel.
I can see from my window this is Crowes last day.

a typical day out my window

few times a month some fighter jets will take off and land, circling directly overhead. that's the best, but the most rare one was when an old F4 circled many times and finally landed.... we were all like WTF is that thing doing in the air??? It was pretty cool.

I live in Saint-John NB.

It was in May and my place of work is at the heart of city which everyone visits when visiting this place. My office window is a view of the harbor/downtown marketplace.

There's a ton of batshit crazy people out on the street doing various things at various times too. I once saw a chick curse and throw a full can of pepsi at some old guy. That was funny in itself but the response from the old guy was hilarious calling her and her friend bitches. You really gotta picture an 80 year old livid man calling out some 20 year old bimbo a whore and a bitch. That's a typical morning.

Seeing how this thread is about random things you see, I disagree.

Did a gang of thugs attack them, only to be thwarted by you and your Improvised Weapon of the Day?

Since "at work" involves me driving around in my car, I see all kinds of shit every day while driving around NH and VT, but not much that's particularly interesting. Except when Hurricane Sandy swept through a while back.

My Pajero Wagon was imported from Japan to Botswana then Namibia.
