Well, I suppose to some extent my plight isn't quite as bad as the 
project manager for the new building. We were supposed to take ownership 
on 17 March. However, somebody wheeled some heavy item into the 
recention area and cracked several floor tiles. This caused them to have 
to retile the reception area.

And of course, if you have people tiling the floor, or the floor is 
still drying, nobody else can be in that area. So you can't paint the 
walls, you can't do the electrics, you can't fit the internal windows... 
the entire schedule is ruined.

It's now nearly the end of April, and the builders are still frantically 
trying to get the build finished. Except *now* all us lot are wheeling 
in crates of equipment and trying to go about our normal work. This at 
the same time as inspectors are coming round to check that all the 
paintwork is perfect and there are no dents in the walls and the carpet 
is pristine...

The builders are *not* happy to see us! ;-)
