Maps

Last Friday we had the day off, which is just as well because we had been to a wedding reception the night before had a lovely time and stopped at a bed and breakfast for the night, a lovely place, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Wales.
So by 9.00am we were off into the heart of Wales, Snowdonia is beautifull at this time of year.
Not long after we had set off a couple of hours maybe we found we were not far from the coast, 28 miles from Porthmadog I said, lets go to the seaside so we ended up at Criccieth there is a nice old castle and a couple of good pebble beaches.
So far so good we decided to get on our way back home, we had no map but me being a man thought it's not that big a place be back home in no time.
so ok I said lets follow the coast and swing a right to get us back to the Midlands, by the time I had reached Anglesey we were well north and Debs was well pissed off, We are only 30 miles from Manchester she said trying not to get hysterical, its ok I said I will run down the M6 some 70 miles from home is all we are.
Run down the M6 yes it would have been quicker, solid traffic nothing moving, of course the nice afternoon lunch we were both expecting was a sandwich in a motorway services, and the motorway was still jammed up.
Never again will I put my partner or myself through that, the bloody map is going in the car and stopping there.
We finaly arrived home at 5.30 pm and I had driven about 300 miles in the day.

A Crossroads

Or could it be that I should just remind myself of my place.
I am at work, a superviser,I have considerable knowledge of what goes on and I think and as far as I am aware my boss does too.(this place is a steel stock holders filled with tough black country men and steel)

We have not had a works manager at our place for some 4 years it has been left to me and 2 other supervisers to get on with the job.
then the other night my attention was brought to an advert in the local paper
operations manager required blah blah blah and all the rest, and they are looking for a Graduate to do the job.

My immediate reaction was what the fuck is going on.
So I saw my boss its quite clear to me now I will not get the job and having thought it over I really think I don't want it.

However a graduate?????? to come in here and tell us how to do this stuff.
I think this person may have to have a big S on his or her chest and start to wear his Y fronts or knickers on top of their trousers.
