Thread: A day in the life of a punter.

  1. #1

    Smile A day in the life of a punter.

    I know others have posted similar posts recently, but I thought I would post this little storey in the event one other person had a bad day today and thought they were the only one.

    Waited months for the opportunity to get to meet this Lady, over PM’s arranged for today 11 O’clock, ring 30 minutes before for directions. Grand so far.

    I was like a small child on Christmas eve, just couldn’t get a good nights sleep, eventually morning came.

    7:00 Double Shower, better stop scrubbing or all feeling for later(with a bit of luck) will be gone.
    7:20 Big breakfast (I taught an extra bit of energy might not go astray)
    7:50 Checklist done, envelope at top of list. Checklist recheck. Recheck again.
    8:15 Shaking badly with nerves, I know!, Rescue Remedy somewhere in house, house searched top to bottom eventually found and large dose taken.
    8:55 Headed off early, drove through town 1, Rescue Remedy started to kick in.
    9:20 Coming through town 2 noticed a sign saying road X closed “Drive detour via town 3”
    9:40 On detour because of overnight flooding, another detour. Headed to town 4.
    9:55 Worried about time, the right foot got a little heavy, you guessed it Speed Cop!.
    10:15 Hit town 4, hung around for the 10:30 phone call.
    10:30 Shaking again, another swig of the Rescue and loads of nicotine, made the call, The Lady hadn’t reached town 4 herself yet and would phone later. Told directions for first point and to go get a coffee.
    10:43 Lady phones, key not where it should be, was going to get a key. Could I wait till 12 O’clock, Ah! Ok. I used that time to contact work to say I was going to be late. I had both windows wide open so I wouldn’t smell of smoke, envelope that was on dash with a gust of wind blew out the window, chasing like a man possessed after envelope down the street.
    Then another call from Escort, disaster in apartment, not liveable! No fault of Escort. She was considering going to town 5, maybe meet there, would phone me later. I had to keep moving around, pulling into different estates and then out the road. Was chain smoking now on top of the Rescue on top of the high dose of caffeine on top of adrenalin , The more adrenalin the lower the Mojo levels got.
    12:30 Not ment to be, decided to head for work but got a great idea to avoid the detour of the detour, go through town 6,7,8 and 9, WRONG, everyone else had the same idea. Half hour delays.
    12:55 Puncture from ditch earlier, fitted spare, got to town 7, new tyre required and because the next town was so far away got Screwed on price (I was hoping to be doing, rather than receiving)
    2:30 Made it to work, but client hadn’t waited for me. Another and another had also cancelled. The only one that hadn’t cancelled was fecking two county’s away.
    4:00 Made it to there and when I arrived I phone client, fecking voice mail.
    5:00 Headed for home with my tail between my legs.

    At this rate Santa gets to come more often than me.
    Loads of other stuff happened but I was trying to make this as short as possible.

    I hope if you had a bad day you feel a little better.
