3 days to go!..................

I was going to do a blog on christmas but bah humbug! to that. Got back last night from a few days in Bristol and seeing family, bumping into a mate I haven't seen for quite a while and worrying if I was going to be snowed in after a heavy snowfall and more forecast. Still, made it home without too much hassle, the main problem being frozen washer jets on the car so it was difficult to see with on-coming traffic. The snow up here isn't as bad as I was expecting but it's now freezing over and is like glass.  Doubt if I'll manage another blog before the big day so ...MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY!

Isn't that just typical................................................

Well what do you know?......12 hours before I leave for Bristol it starts to snow.....isn't that just typical of the British weather?.... I didn't want it to snow until I got to Bristol in the hope that I'd get snowed in and would not be able to make it back to go to work on Boxing Day.....Oh well! c'est la vie!.... time for a nice warming cuppa!...... ANYONE????

Why do I get the feeling?................

Attended the last team brief of the year last night, yes I'm on holiday but still expected to go.  Anyway, we were all told of how well things have gone in the last 2 months since the Operations Team Leader had been appointed and how sickness was zero until last weekend, the airport H & S  director and his counterpart in Compliance were well impressed with our record keeping, reporting and rectification of H & S issues.  Customer complaints were down to 1 up to Monday morning when he had received a serious one, he looked straight at me and said that he had 2 interviews to do and if the complaint was found to be true that the person involved would be sacked and never work at the airport again.  Why look at me? I don't know! nothing happened that I'm aware of that would bring that sort of reaction but then my shift were on that day so it MUST have been one of us.  Like the one he tried to pin on me last Friday from October 8th, my shift were on days(06:00-18:00) and the incident happened at 21:40 but we got the initial blame.  Am I being paranoid when I think this guy is out to get me? On a happier note I have 11 days holiday left and I intend to enjoy them regardless, having another trip down to Bristol , 18th-21st, feeling like Santa as I will have a boot full of pressies.

I hate to say this.........but!...........ROLL ON THE SUMMER LOLOLOL

Had my first taste of a quiet winter season Saturday night last night...... The last flight was 21:20, and it came in 15 mins early, the PoF  (Pay on Foot) machines were emptied, the cash was bagged and put in the safe all the tickets were collected, we'd done god knows how many security patrols and it was only 00:20! What are we going to do for the next 5hrs 40mins???? we're there to work so we can't grab 20 winks, Car count? DONE!  car parks are less than 20% full All together!  I'M BORED! what a carry on!

Long Blog ago in Bethlehem............

Gawd! doesn't time fly by ?...... doesn't seem like that long since my last blog.  Well what's happened?  I passed my PCV/HGV medical on Tuesday gone .... which really surprised me..... was expecting the old blood pressure to be off the scale but it wasn't.  Got some Clim-Air wind deflectors for the Fusion... had some on the lorry a few years back ,they're great, stop the rain dripping in when a window is open and also stop a lot of buffeting from the wind at speed(when the window is open) so easy to fit but a sod to get out again, which is good.  Can't wait for my time off after the next set of earlys.... 12 loverly days with no airport ...bliss!  Plenty of pressies to pack in the car for my visit to Bristol.... shame I can only stay 4 days but there some people will be glad to see me come back to Sunderland (hopefully,  lol)
