yeah!! I've got another job!
well the last job was sh^t, lasted 3 weeks and I'd had just enough of the folk I was working with! I'm usually very easy going but their
attitude to me was abysmal so I ended it. Then thought to myself I'd really had enough of working in these bloody office jobs and guess
what...
I'm starting at Volvo trucks as a mechanic tomorrow!! OMG I'm soooooo super excited  never done it before but I'm sure I'll
do just great. The guy was really good and after I'd told him what I do as a hobby he was happy to let me start. I’m having another donut just
to celebrate (had 3 already their yummy)
Happy days

Congratulations on the new job. Hope your narrowboat is fitted out better than the other truck mechanic i've seen recently

was a operations project planner, not nice people to work for though. I was a bus driver for 4 years so know how to take abuse....
Thanks guys for the support even bought myself some new work boots (which I'm off to the garage to get dirty  )
Best bit is it's just 10 mins walk from my house!! going to use pushbike to work, wow
