What is it with transport, everyone seems to take an unhealthy interest in what everyone else is doing, whinge bleat moan what’s hard about sitting on your arse and looking out of a window, I get my keys and paperwork and get on with it.
I particularly like the one’s who regularly shoot from the lip and when the gaffer appears they go strangely silent.
In the past I hated the thought someone would get a hour more than me,I’d often look round the car park when I got back to see who’s car was still there ,and if they got a o/t shift and I didn’t I was like a bear with a sore head all w/end.
I would even try and look at there finishing times on the time sheets when the clerk was filling it in!ive even rang mates from home about football ( when really I was trying to hear if I could hear the truck engine to know they were still at work.)
I got so paranoid about someone getting a hour more than /a poundmore that me I’d end up talkingto my self at home( much to the amusement of the mrs),I’d struggle to sleep some nights as I was so wound up they’d got a hour more than me/ a o/t shift I hadn’t.
The strange thing was I didn’t need the money,in relative terms I was well off and could live off of flat money fine,it was just I hated with a vengeance the thought they were getting something I wasn’t.
Now I hate my job, I hate the work I do and I just want to get back to the yard and go home as quick as possible,they can have the long days,long runs,I really couldn’t give a flying ■■■■.I still talk to myself but now it’s how them ■■■■■■■■■■■■ stitched me up with a 15 again.
But like the mrs says there never a dull moment when your around,she often tells her mates he’s fine,don’t worry he’s always talking to himself 
In my experience, TM’s like drivers that they can put on any run and not have to worry about. If I was constantly being put on ■■■■ easy runs all the time, I’d be questioning whether it’s because they don’t think I’m good enough. Maybe thats just me. Being put on the tougher runs all the time at least shows that they hold your ability in some regard.
never did mind where or when but what got my goat was a rim licker that had the Romanian runs etc as he would do it off the cards to cheat the csa. not for kids now but moved on every time the csa caught up with him. but they just waited now all kids grown up and he pays 400 a month in arrears. squealing like a stuck pig and trying every way possible to get out of it. he should have paid while they needed the money.
I used to get the cream,but then Unigate closed the dairy at Kidlington…
