Nostalgia

18 January – What eventuated to be due to Mr Butter’s going for a job interview in the morning (which, it appears that he subsequently got) I expected an enormous amount of incompetence on the dispatch front.  There was a full hour of absolutely nothing after doing the two trip mail run but I was eventually pleasantly surprised to be issued with a couple of relatively well organised runs from the fillin.  Apparently he had the map out in front of him and was giving a lot of thought to it because of the recent complaints but if it works i’m not going to criticise.  All in all, a relatively dead January day – what i’ve come to expect for this month. Enacted the ancient courier tradition of the jersey swap with Mr Vo, sacrificing my beloved Vancouver Corporate Couriers jersey (which I only ended up wearing once but it was stretched far beyond even my mighty frame so I’d never really planned to keep it) for a couple of Australian ones. Well, when in Australia.  Bit worried about post-25 January life at Toll with the loss of Butters departure but apparently Shifty will have words and his complaints are a little bit louder in management’s ears than mine.  
In the evening had my rusty technical skills tested with a small project from a boutique plastics importing firm – was unable to complete planned task due to bureaucratic incompetence beyond our control but did a few little things that should help in the future.  Am sure all will work out in the end.
