Change of life!!!!!!!

Post by BrianC »

Some of you may have noticed my absence - but maybe not !!!!!

After 40 years in the IT industry, the last few being full of mega stress and ever increasing and unreasonable demands, i chucked it all in!!!!! Made more sweet with a payoff!!!!!

But not wishing to stop 'work' i applied for a few droving jobs, and now im a fully fledged delivery driver for Tesco!!!!, and i love it!!!!!!!

So everything is settling down and when I get my latest shed built i can get back to getting storm 1 up and running

Anyway, best wishes to all

Must admit a change of role to something like this has been in my mind today, had enough of teaching and all the shite that goes with it, not the kids mind but the bloody management and the governments unrealistic expectations.
What's the pay like?
Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero
F3, 954 USD front, K Tech springs, Braced swinger, Penske shock, Six spoke Mockesini wheels, Harris rearsets, QaT, Flywheel diet!, A&L stacks, stick coils, K&N, FP Ti jets, lashings of Ti & CF

The pay isnt great but to be honest, who cares

I get a job where i get tp drive around, meet loads of people who appreciate what i am doing for them, great workmates, and once im out im my own boss.

Plus having a physical job will keep me fit.

My mrs cant believe how happy i am !'nm
