Should have been flying at 9.30 tonight. Not the weather, which accorsind to the radio, is causing major disruption to rail, road and airports. No, my sister who I booked the flight with, didn't get the details right and flew off the handle at me when I asked her simply to sort things out. She has a lot of pressure on right now but that was well out of order. So now I wont be travelling the luxury of club class for 280 and was freaking out that I was literally going nowhere...
Still, after 20 minutes of verbal abuse from my dad, he tells me he will book me a flight - just to get rid of me I don't like being indebted to anyone, especially my parents but I have to say I was so grateful. The difference was 800 quid and I wasnt going to come up for that any time soon. So Im flying tomorrow, via Dubai AND Bangkok. Total travel time of 32 hours. I'm going to look great when my good lady picks me up at the airport....
Wrote my resignation letter for the bakery yesterday. I wanted to put something well thought out, witty and full of parabel, after all the loser who ran the shop threatened to punch my face in when I came back. Oh I'd have liked to have seen him try..... I think he realised I couldn't take it seriously and was not in for the long haul. So I wrote the following... cheesier than a cheddar sandwich! :-
Please accept my resignation, with one weeks notice effective from the 8th December 2010. This will run concurrent with my sick line. I feel there are better ways to earn my crust, and I would rather remain on the bread-line. Id like to say its bun fun but that would be a pie in the sky. I found it difficult working with donuts, and the confectionary wasnt that great either.
Incidentally you may wish to consult the company on what management training opportunities they may be able to grant you. It may have not come to your attention but calling members of staff obsessively outside of work hours, and threatening them on the phone arent really admirable qualities for someone wishing to advance themselves.
So I'm looking to the future with open arms. I don't wan't to look smug, as there are many roads to cross, and it could all go wrong for me! I think Australia is going to work though.... Hell yeah!
