metal strands

Arriving at work at half past seven in the

morning

1st of July, 2020

, discovering that the work that had been announced

is not there.

Wait for work to materialise, and nothing happens. No calls, no computer missives, 

  

no normal mail

There is just the sound of the demolition workers outside, as they remove the remains of the old service buildings. The window

is open, there is the taste of concrete dust in the air. The big excavator is crushing the ferroconcrete in its jaws, crushing it to dust and metal strands.

Later on, the machine collects the metal strands with a very large magnet, and deposits them in a heap, and shovels the concrete fragments into another.

They are tidy demolition workers, The steel can be sold, the concrete fragments used for foundations.

All the while, there is the roar of the engines.

And there is no work today, it is

really boring. It feels like a waste of time,

a waste of life.

It is a sign of poor organisation.
