New Rule Book

So today was the day when staff were supposed to refuse to work on the grounds of Health and Safety due to the start of useage of London Undergrounds brand new rule book. This is a much simpler document than the last one (which if laid end to end would have stretched about 1km apparently).

I got a call from the acting Performance Manager as I was on my train home last night asking if I minded coming in for the start of traffic today! Of course I bloody mind! Ask me if I could and the answer to that is "yes, of course" I could!!!!!!!

So the alarm goes off at 0230 this morning and I stumble out of bed into the shower, throw some clothes on, jump in the car and arrive at the depot at shortly after 4am!

All I can say about it is that a couple of my Duty Managers need to learn how to make tea! As for my drivers - You bunch of uncaring so and so's (I know some of you read this too) - not even a question, just puzzled looks as to why the boss is at work at "silly" O'clock and questionably witty remarks about what else may have been between my bedsheets to make me be up so early!!!!!

As for the rule book - well same shite in it just in a different package and not as long winded!

The only bonus is that I was home indoors by 1300hrs and have got plenty of chores completed!

I am now, however knackered!!
