Started my new Job tonight as a fork lift driver at TPN. Managed 2 1/2 hours before i blew the truck up :p Overheated it. So they managed to find me a spare truck, which lasted all of about 10 minutes before the gas bottle fell off and split the hose. So they filled the previously blown up forklift with water again and sent me back out, 15 minutes later, guess what...pissed it all out onto the floor again. Overheated lol So, as the warehouse is COMPLETELY forklift work, they had to send me home lol And to make it worse, on my way home i went the wrong way up the m6 toll, so had to pay £4 to get off, turned around and then had to pay another £4 to get back on!! :death:

 

So in summary, 3 hours work, 2 dead trucks, £24 earned, -£8 toll charge.

 

But on the bright side, they definitely want me back again, i'm better than most of the guys there ;) ;)

:lol: sounds like a mission

Not to mention petrol...

Still, at least you got a job!

Yea, hopfully i'll do a full night tomorrow haha

a good first day for you then :) i have to drive a forklift at work sometimes and i find it daunting to drive if i havent driven it in months and your carying £thousands in a crate and everyone is watching you LOL

Sounds like you are indispensible already mate!! :) Better luck tomorrow lol

Don't worry bud,

 

When I first started on the tugs, I sank 2 of them in the first 3 months. Anyone who lives in Cheltenham may remember my second effort (about 8 years ago now). But anyway, they never sacked me and I know for the fact it cost em freakin thousands.. Just depends on your personality I think (i.e - if you're trying to do a good job and act like you give a sh1t).

Hey Rob

 

Least you were not as bad as this guy!! I bet he got his P45 rather sharpish!! :yes:
