I bought a bottle of Spitfire beer tonight at the Co-op to toast a new job £1.59. Last week in Rugby HQ interview they seemed to like me for some strange reason.
So today was a driving assessment at UPS Northampton Depot (20 miles away) in the morning and H&S safer driving dvds and presentations this afternoon. The guy in charge said lets go to the hamburger van down the road at lunchtime (I still had to cook tonight), and as we walked he casually said right you start 7;30 tomorrow. So the 1st 2 weeks is learning the ropes devices and routes until they leave me on my own as soon as I feel ready.
I am pleased to at least be employed again. The salary is about the same as my last job the smoking enforcement officer. If it works out, I just need my money to be released from these bricks and mortar and start again. I seem to always be starting again every now and then. Where ever I lay my hat thats my job. Snakes and ladders, river deep mountain high, when all I ever wanted was a plateau.
I was earning 33k during the 90's but the age discrimination gets in the way of that. Not good enough that David Groome the barrister states Allan Sharpe is the best Trading Standards officer he has ever worked with, or TV presenter Lynn Faulds Wood extolling accolades as well. No. But then again most , not all , of the interviewers were wankers anyway.
Congratulations Allan! I had been wondering about your absence. I know that your really wanted to work and I hope all goes well for you. Don't get too busy that you cant play with your old friends. Again congrats and good luck with your new job. Stop by King and say hello, when you have time.
