And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Best of luck! You'll get used to monopoly money type numbers being bandied about pretty quickly

Good luck with it!
There comes a time (fairly quickly) when £20M is just another number! Leisure centres are good though - I've been part of the project team for
a few and they were some of the more interesting in terms of seeing the end result.

Good luck, and have fun.
Don't get too worried about the big numbers being able to point to something a lot of people use and saying 'I did that one' is one
of the best feelings there is.

its amazing how quickly you get used to large numbers....
Good luck with the job and remember to smile, be polite and take lots of notes on day one.
Unlike me when i returned to my current company. Walked in the office, sat down, farted, belched, turned on my pc, moaned and asked who's
getting the drinks! The people who didn't know i'd worked there before and knew 80% of the staff / all the management where amazed at my
balls.

It'll not be long before all the architects hate you then Enjoy your job. They hate quantity surveyors as well so don't take it
personally.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Which just makes it all the more sweeter that QS's get paid more than Architects too!
