April Fool's Day today and I believe I am finally over the lergy I brought back from Bristol. I ended up working two days whilst on holiday last week, not that I mind as overtime has been a bit on the short side this year, the only problem, as usual the wages department have messed up again and still owe me 9 1/2 hrs pay. Managed to get overtime this week too, even better when you remember Friday is a Bank Holiday and we run a Sunday service. So instead of a 9 1/2 hour shift I'm only doing a 6 hour shift but get 9 1/2 hrs pay plus a twenty quid supplement. The Ops Manager also said something about me working Easter Monday, so as that's a rest day, that means more overtime and a lieu day. Still waiting to hear about the Malta position but life has to go on. Still can't believe I've been at Arriva for ten months already it doesn't seem that long at all.
Had a good laugh at all the motorists panicking and spending time in long queues to fill up with fuel, don't they realise the sooner you fill up the sooner you have to refill so you do not benefit. Glad I got a diesel at least there was plenty to go round and for the amount of petrol Pauline uses if push came to shove I could use her car for work.(now-now Pauline you know you don't mean it!)
