Hi,
Well I'm a bit rubbish at this blog thing. I must confess I forgot my password. Oops.
Well what has changed since I left wrote? I'm now working in Newcastle after being told that I had to relocate to Cheshire or take redundancy in November.
My new job is ok but very corporate. We're expected to do things like ethics training because obviously we don't have nay and need the company to teach us. Also we're expected to do unpaid overtime every night although they won't give us that in writing ;-)
I've just been working on a horrid project. Basically the site is surrounded by designated sites (and is also realaly nice) but the client wants to extend their site. I doubt it'll ever get planning permission but we have to humour him. I did get a ride in a private jet out of it but don't tell the boss, I'm not sure riding in jets is on the Risk Assessment!
I'd be interested to know if any other environmental consultants get perks from their job. They seem to be few and far between. Also another job I'm working involves working on a police dog training field, that is quite exciting although the Risk Assessment is about 100 pages.
Also I would like to know any good corporate speak that's turned up in people's offices. A friend at another consultancy told me this week that they aren't allowed to use "brain storming" now, they have to use "thought showers". WHY???
