Obama Get Me Out Of Here

‘Obama get me out of here’


If some of you read yesterdays post you will know I was at home most of the day after an early run into the yard.
I took the chance to visit the Dr because its pretty difficult to get the time usually .

The Dr was a Locum and he was very Interested to hear I was a Lorry driver. He asked me if I had taken my medical at the surgery.

I was wondering if my dodgy internet medical had something to with the state of my health. The Dr, sensing my alarm explained he was looking into offering them privately for professions that required them.

I was relieved and told him I didn’t have a medical at the practice because they wanted £90 and that was two years ago.
I told him about the website sticky on Trucknetuk and how I went to an old rugby club and paid £30.

The Docs eyes lit up and wondered whether any one would pay £40 and I said probably yeah.
He was going to look into it.

I left with my prescription in my hand and the Doc thanking me for his consultation.
Ill have to look out for him in the newbie’s section on the forum.


As regard today’s lorry day, here it is.


Friday.
3.15 am woke up got in the lorry for 4 am .
I had a nice drive ahead of me up to Hull.

I decided to ditch the radio because I was sick of hearing about endangered chimps ,over fished cod and wannabe shock jocks trying to make a name for themselves by patronizing early morning or late night callers, either too dumb or too drunk to notice.

I decided to move the dab dial out of the talk stations and found GOLD it was brilliant. There wasn’t many adds and I was swamped with hit after feel good hit over and over again, it made the journey fly by and I was running underneath the Humber bridge before I knew it.


My blog is written as stuff happens so this morning I was out of the information loop and wrote about my day off, but by the time I was finished in Hull it was 8 am and on my way to Barnsley. Gold was playing more ads and it was getting on my nerves so I switched back (Kid Jenson turned up later so I escaped lightly I think)

I heard a news report about the CIA and how President Obama had released all the details of the Torture techniques, It involved putting people in enclosed spaces with scary insects and let them be bitten, pretend to drown them , sleep depravation and generally throw them around, bully and intimidate them.
I thought it was the details of the new ‘Celebrity get me out of here Show’.

I had one flooring drop and four food drops today and the thing I hate about food drops is the amount of paperwork they have.

I have a pallet of mustard and four pages of paperwork. They all need signing and copying and counting and stapling.

I had a drop in Barnsley that was at a Netto store.
Netto have this policy were you drive the lorry, you unload the lorry and you load (if applicable) the lorry.
Their staff smile and open the doors for you.
I had to drop the tailift onto this bay and then unload my pallet and then collect a return pallet full of Pickled Onions, The paperwork was sent separately on another pallet for that one! (joke)




I was expecting a nice simple run back from The Netto store and drop a pallet into Chesterfield on the way down the M1 and then the Cab computer went off and Im sitting at the mustard makers factory now waiting for 13 pallets to go back to my yard.
Its 4:15 pm and not a site of a forklift.


Ill leave you with this weird sticker I saw on a truck that was in front of me.


Its Friday so If I ever get out of here tonight Ill be delivering mustard on Monday.
Update I got out with and Ill post an update later . its 5 pm now.
