Application pending

I’ve struggled to access your blog - if I try from my Blogger blog sideboard I get a message telling me that I’m an evil spammer and that my card is marked.
Anyhow, good luck with the non drinking. It will make you richer - and then you will get pissed more easily when you start drinking again - which will also make things cheaper.
What are you escaping from? Bristol? Good luck with that as well.
Sx
P.S Your site hates Blogspot - it won’t let me enter my Blogger address.

Ah…Miss S, you deserve a medal for your persistence! I’ve removed b___t.com from the antispam blacklist. The people who designed this blog thing put b-spot on it because it is the number one source of comment spam on blogs.

But not to worry, I’ll just whack any individual moles that poke their heads up. I don’t want to make things difficult for people to visit.

I’m trying to escape Transport that Fails and its many problems, the main one of which is that we only find out our shifts a short time in advance – sometimes only a few days. They just treat you as skivvies who will jump to attention whenever they click their fingers. It’s intolerable.

You’re right about the advantages of not drinking. I’ll be under the table after three pints next month.

Thanks again for persisting through the thickets.

Ah yeah, the dispatcher’s finger snip.
I stand to short notice, but as some routes are more difficult than others (the one i drive right now needed only one half day for introduction; the one before needed three full working days, and still was difficult to navigate) they know that there must be some time to learn. all in all it is acceptable, and one can always cry for help - and gets help.
The non-drink days - ach, yeah, from time to time it is necessary. Not for the dosh only, but for the head too. And the body : Better sleep, better innards, batter all (no more blue pill) : There is still life in the bonesack !
I do not get the themtheys. My work environment is stuffed with strange people, so they would not stand out. It makes no difference who or what you are, as long as you are no asshole, but man, you will be told, no worries.
Great to see that you learn, or embetter, your French - I would really like to be able to do that, or master at least Italian basics.

I sometimes think how interesting it would be to come with you on one of your drives through deepest Swabia. I’d love to meet some of these characters – chief of whom is yourself of course!

I’m really enjoying improving my French. I feel like I’m learning a lot, and – I didn’t expect this – I find it puts me in a good mood afterwards.

I could be losing my situation soon and don’t know what I’ll do. I can’t retire but I’m too auld to be hired by any sensible company.

Oh dear, that’s bad news for just before Christmas. I’ll drop you an email tonight.

Oddly i thought i had left a comment on this awhile ago… hmm, maybe i should take a month of the ganja to see what would happen, lol! like maybe i’d remember shite not to mention the effect it would have on the old wallet, but it’s a healthy endeavor to take a break now and then so good on you sir!

The bit about women and moral character got a good laugh out of me as you are spot on with that observation…

As for the job, good luck my friend, i often wonder what i’ll do when i’m pushed back into the workforce, of course there is a lot of intricacies involved in that respect… do feel for Exile though, i saw it happen to my father and in this country ageism runs rampant, along with a lot of other isms… Happy Chrimbo my friend!

It’s the 8th of December today - if I calculated correctly in my chaotic cranium, the four weeks are over now.
Did you pull it through ? I really ask out of curiosity. I doubt that I could.
