A horrible day on the first week at work

The story of my first week at this company I’m with now .

I had been to the renault formula one team headquarters and was buzzing at what a good job this was when I was sent a collection through on the computer.
I was told to go into Market Harborough and collect, I didn’t know what and I didn’t know where. I had a postcode and that was it. its a tiny market town and was a one way system through the centre. I found the place , A tiny bookshop up an alley and spoke to the owner regarding making the collection.
It turned out our company were always collecting from there. I was directed around the back and it opened up to a much bigger road and I was fine parking up outside the car park area at the rear. It was going to be a bit of a walk and I had to handball the boxes on but I wasn’t bothered. The customer at the shop said we always go into the car park , and said she would direct me, I was cool ok with that and being new I felt obliged to try , well I reversed in ok , it was very tight and I had a few inches either side of an iron gate and a 2 foot high post t worry about but I managed it. I loaded up and was all set to leave but it was a public car park for the church and a van had come in and parked up as well , I had to come out at an angle and kept getting two close to the post , no matter what side i went to it was too close.
The shop owner was directing me and telling me how close I was to the post with my passenger step , I was keeping my eye on the rear , She told me to go back but I had lodged the rear curtain strap under a coping stone on an old wall and it was lifting ... ... I was stuck.

I moved forward and the whole wall started leaning onto the truck curtain, I was now the only thing holding the wall up and it was stopping me pull the other side away from the gate post , I pulled forward and by now a crowd had gathered and a school had just finished ,I had sweat running down my back.

The wall came down around me and it went down , from around 6 feet tall to about a 2 foot wall, (I took pictures of the damage for work , ill dig them out and post on my blog one day ) . I was also wedged onto a Suzuki vitara chrome spare wheel cover , I mean really wedged , the more I moved back or forward I made it worse . We found the owner of the Suzuki , he was the landlord of the pub , He didn’t want to swap insurance. don’t know why he just moved the car and said cant be helped !! (It could be helped, I was an idiot) There was around 150 bricks in the road and a massive gap in someone’s garden !!!!! . I lost my bonus for that for 6 months , :( But my lesson learned was you’re the driver and you park and load where you feel comfortable not the customer. The best lessons are the ones that cost you money , Im at Stevenage in the morning at john Lewis so Im going ,Ill write some more diary Tomorow
