More recent than 5000BC. When I was on the tools, I took great pride in what I did - that included leaving the worksite (be it a factory, office or home) in as good or better state than I found it. Cleaning up is part of the job, it's just that too many now have no pride in what they do and don't give a toss as long as they get paid.
Last week,my guys went to an office to dry core a 70mm hole in a concrete filled besser block wall.They did the right thing,took the trusty Vax and held it below the hole while the other drilled.Had to do it from inside the office as outside the hole was to high up to do without trestles,etc.
So one is drilling,apprentice has the Vax nozzle under the hole,catching the dust.They also put down drop sheets over the computers,etc.
Then the fire alarm goes off:mad:
They stop and find there is dust everywhere.
Someone had forgotten to put a bag in the Vax,so it just blew the dust all around the office.:o
That turned into one BIG clean up....
