i cant tell if he was jokin or not, but on thurs i got to do a 2-man job in longdon with a van driver, and my controller reckons he's gonna get me some bike jobs while i'm down there so i ahve to take my bike.... if he was being serious, shall i meet some of you geezers so you can take the piss out of me for being lost and slow?
and don't forget, London taxi drivers are always happy to give directions to lost couriers. Just knock their wing mirror as you ride by and they'll know what you want.
ANd, sadly no Eindhoven for me :( unless a miracle happens between now and next payday.... I'm on the lookout for some cash in hand work on the weekends though so you never know. And maybe if I fiddle my timesheet enough... I wonder if I can get them to pay me 6 weeks pay for one month by 'accidentally' submitting 2 weeks timesheets twice?
I was thinking, "why on earth would there be cycle courier jobs for me that were booked 2 days ago? surely they'd just get a london courier to do it?" but the boss gave me the job sheets today, and they looked pretty legitimate, with pickups like DLA Piper, Fedex depot etc. THEN I looked at the recipients: Ben Dover, D. Head, R. Sole etc...
BASTARDDDDDD!!!
Anyways, I think the van job is in Vauxhall, so if you see a big white van tomorrow with <deleted> on it in blue and red writing, be sure to say hello to the dreadlocked passenger, or call him a cunt.
