hot work


It's never a good sign when you arrive at your university building and find it plastered with Warning Safety Notices about HOT WORK.  Hot Workers might be one thing - but hot work?  To add to the hammering?  When I saw these guys outside my room, heading into the ceiling, and lots of thick vaporous something billowing out, I said that I hoped whatever that was wasn't toxic.  Oh no, said they, it's nitrogen.  I have absolutely no idea if that's good or bad (though I have had nitrogen chilled Japanese ice cream, which doesn't seem to bear any relation to hot work whatsoever).

We are promised that this building work will be finished by Friday.
