Well after yesterday mornings posting, I went to bed. I slept from 10am to 6pm, and then from 11pm to 6am, and then I STILL had trouble getting out of bed!
The day itself was more enjoyable than I thought. I was based at Woking for the day learning about the new Public Address announcements that I will have to adopt on South West Trains. In my opinion this means that I am going to have to robotically read from a script, tell more "half-truths" and run my train based on a "bible" which is so riddled with errors, if you rely on it for certain answers could get yourself or a passenger killed. (NB: If you are concerned what I mean, please PM or E-mail me asking about Micheldever - especially if you are the South West Trains Head of Guards or their snoop/representative)
The trainer, Nicki, was actually quite cute, shame about three things: shes married, shes older than me (so probably does not care), shes cute (and I never end up with a really cute partner). With this in mind, she obviously kept my attention all day, and we even talked about certain social activities as Poker.
I also actually learned something... South West Train's brightest minds have decided that half of the truth we use to tell, now has to be told in a different way, which makes it sound like a lie, but is actually the truth. Let me give you an example:
If we are having problems with the signalling equipment, we are no longer allow to say that its because of the signalling equipment, but and operational fault. Apparently if we say its a fault with the signalling, people think we are in grave danger and start screaming and crying that they are going to die...... Do these people actually think that we would be so poorly regulated to actually risk peoples lives with problems that occurs literally hundreds of times a day over the whole of the UK's rail network. No? Nor did I?
So now I am going to enjoy a pepperoni pizza, have crude dreams about sexy workmates and "have fun" thinking about them, and then decide whether to post again with some random thoughts on the news and stuff.
