Worked At A Place, Once ...

[Ken's Deputy 4,463]

Basically, an abandoned factory. It was being knocked about and turned into a new facility. Crew of agency staff labourers were brought in to do the smashing, banging and digging.

Firm doing the conversion, we'll call " Argon ". They had about twenty agency lads in. Tons of skilled tradesmen came through. Doing their things. I happened to get on nodding terms with a few of the labourers though.

One guy; No idea what his name was, now. But, I can see his face like he's standing before me. I happen to be wandering past the site, a while after I'd assumed it was all done. He's up a ladder. Fiddling with something about the wall.

I greet him and ask how shit's going. He says the place will be opening for business any day. I say 'Good'. And ask about the other lads. He says they're all gone. Put on other sites by the agency.

'Oh.', I say. 'So, you're the last man here? Scratching about?'

" Yes. " He says. " But, Argon have made me Foreman! "

And I'm like; 'Wow!'

I know that sounds funny, being the Forman over no one, but if he's getting foremans pay, gets a reference letter saying he had been employed as a foreman, and gets to put "foreman" on his c.v., well, good for him

Cheers.
