Not much going on

How do. Not much to say this week. But I promised an update so here it is goddamit.

Had the weekend off to collect my new insane car and a friends insane dog that my parents are looking after. He's lovely, just a bit mad, and greedy!







As you can see I've 'Lukeified' it already with new numberplates, my lorry driver sticker and rally tags.

Got back to work to find that some driver decided a good way to park is to ram his lorry into the back of mine! No damage though apart from a mark on the airtanks.



Saw this old lady this week in/near Purfleet. Does she still work? Was taxed and looked like a worker. I know of plenty of drivers who have a wet dream over this old girl!! She'd be worth silly money in Ireland.


And an Astran trailer, pulled by a Seymour unit. Astran have such a high profile name they don't make enough of it. After all here I am posting a picture of, let's be honest, as scabby old trailer just because it's Astran. Doing the Middle East was my big dream growing up a kid in the 80's and I had a big Astran poster on the wall. Unfortunately I was born a bit too late. Hey ho I've certainly no complaints about the career I've had so far. (Can you imagine how good this website would be if I was doing the Middle East?!)



And finally waiting for the train yesterday. I'm heading to Vienna for Tuesday morning and this will be the subject of a video, if your not too bored of them yet.



ONWARD!

Is It OK To Be Unambitious?

Is ambition essential? Should we always strive for more? Some of us just don’t want to.  In my office last night bopping away to music writing a PowerPoint Driver CPC course and I just realised how happy it makes me. I never expected to find something that would switch me on as much as driving did but somehow I have. That's key with an ADHD addled brain...stuff needs to switch you on. If it doesn’t it’s pointless trying to make it as it never will. It's why my brief period as a transport manager was a disaster! That & fact I don't want to manage anyone. I'm the opposite of power hungry, I'm power allergic, I don’t want to be in charge of anyone, ever. Unfashionable to say in this modern world but all I want from my little business is a comfortable happy life. No ambitions to grow it, no ambitions to employ anyone, no ambitions to get rich. I’ve never actually had any interest in money at all. Happiness is my currency. Also explains why I’m usually broke! It’s ta
