    Unhappy #$@£, I think I'm getting Fired tomorrow

    I was incharge today at work and I really, really messed up big time . I'm not going to be surprised if I loose my job tomorrow, I managed to screw up and run approx an hour late between 22:30 & 00:30 . There were also account holders stuck in the mess and they will be surely making complaints in the moring.

    Whether or not I get sacked is maybe not the case but I will probably pay in someway for this .



    Let me use this chance to appologise to anyone in Newcastle/North TyneSide that suffered because of my major screw up .

    I had hardly any cars working and I overbooked for those cars. The thing is I shouldn't have let cars leave earlier. Mind all the ones I did were cars that were allowed so I should really have check which cars I knew would be staying before booked for that amount of cars.
    There was really big back log of jobs in Tynemouth & Whitley Bay but I didn't have cars travelling to those areas and I had a few cars tied up with long jobs taking them out the area. All this added together caused an absolute screw-up, with only me to blame .

    Well thats what you are payed to do. When you are climbing the ladder, you get more money, but also more responsebility. And a human will always fail some times...my boss at work has a great "saying" on the wall. It says (transelated to English):


    Where no mistakes happen,
    no work is done...


    And it is realy true...

    Thanx, I have also seen my manager get into a mess alot like I did and even seen him just give up cos its been so bad, the thing is I have had this position for a week and a bit and he has for years. See the point though .

    I don't think i'll really loose my job but I do wonder what will happen now. They don't really have the staff to replace me is the thing. BTW I spoke to a couple of drivers before I finished (expecting them to hate me) and they said they didn't think I did too bad. They will have been put out by it (like people not being there and stuff alike) but they seemed to not mind as bad as I expected. Ofcourse thats not all the drivers but hopefully the rest will think along the same lines abit.

    They are probably not the guys that will hate you. The persons that ordered the cabs might do that....but you are probably never going to meet them anyeay,,,.....and maybe your boss will hate you...but it won't last for long. There is always a new day with new blank pieces of paper that you can draw your new day on....

    What a stupid name for a taxi company.

    Would you like me to erase the memories of everyone in the Whitley Bay area for the for the last 48 hours? I can do that you know with my new Acme Brayn-Away 3000. Make them forget all about it.

    The name comes from the "Foxhunters Trading Est." which is the place the first office started off from.



    As for the memory thing I would be glad if you would expand the range to the whole of North-TyneSide.



    BTW venerable bede if you were in town then you'd have been ok anyway, I managed to get all the town work running ok it was mainly Tynemouth, North Shields(Not too bad), Whitley Bay, UCI Staff & Work from the Hospital that I was late for. Which is practically the whole of the local areas because all the other areas there wasn't even any work to be late for (The ones that did come up went straight out, just about) .

    OK, done. I did the whole of Britain north of Nottingham.

    By the way Electroman, you still owe me that £7000 from last night, when you borrowed it to pay that ladyboy hooker for his/her services. Must have been worth it judging by that grin on your face this morning.

    What do you mean you can't remember? I'll send bodwad around to collect the cash.

    D'oh, I now expect some dodgy phone calls tonight .

    As for that website its rather dated, hasn't been updated for at least a year or two. I say that cos it says the fleet is only 100 vehicles and its advertised at 135+ now . Also the Cars in the picture are rather crappy, all the photos used for advertising nowadays are of the nice silver supurbs we have, which about 50% of the fleet practically are now. We only have a hand full of black cabs like you see in the photo .

    Yes it was me. Hope you cleaned it up I want to pee in there tommorrow and I really do not like dirty toilets its very unhygenic

    The reason I peed in the taxi was because it took so da* long to get to me. A road with no tree's and lamposts is not a place you want to hang around.
