A new year, same idiots

Well the new year is finally and I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and a good new year, by the time the 3rd of jan came around I was completely bored and going out of mind, I needed to get back to work, I needed to start earning some money, The thought of not actually seeing any money going into my back account that week was horrible, luckily I kinda of budgeted for that, I saw budgeted, I mean I had enough for some cigarettes and lunch.

The first week back after the holidays was always going to be a quite one, The first day back I done 8 jobs 10 on the second until Friday when it began to get a bit busier. It took a while for everything so start moving again, including my body, I was pretty much a slob for 10 days over Christmas, eating to much, drinking to much and generally not exercising.

My second week back started with a bang, quite literally, I was minding my own business mid afternoon riding through Oxford circus when a tourist decided that because they cant here anything coming then it is safe for them to walk out giving me all of half a second to react.

Not really to much time really, I had no where to go apart from into her, both of us ended up in the middle of Regent street on the ground, and of course, the tourist is the one that gets away with out any kind of injury, me on the other hand ended up with a nice bit of road rash across my knee.

The new year also saw a bit of a change for me in the fact that I was handed the responsabilty of opening up the office and spending the first hour dispatching, I quite enjoy the change, taking bookings, ordering people about, I could see my self dispatching in a few years or so, when my body has finally had enough abuse and cant take any more.

The week got progressively  busier and on Thursday it got extremely busy seen as I was the only push biker in work that day, some of the motor bikes took some of the pressure off me, but it was still a day that meant when I got home it was eat shower sleep.

Friday was another strange day, I spent an hour at a clients waiting for a job, luckily this was whilst the heavens quite literally opened and dumped a lake on top of London, then after a few more delivries including a urgent direct at 5:30 from Soho square to Westminster bridge. I get back to the office crack open a beer and im just about to leave when one of the bikers that is supposed to take the overnights down to the depot decides that his bike wont start, that means that its up to me to take them down to new kent road rather then going home, was not best pleased, eventually got home at 8 30.

Thankfully the weekend was here though and I had some beer in the fridge chilling for me

Another week will be here soon and more dispatching for another couple of weeks.

until the next time
