Employee Director & GreenRoad Fleet Elite Award

For those that know me I can be a bit loud and opinionated. I always try and make my views known I also try and do the best I can at anything I do.That is why I have decided to stand for the Employee Director job. I will not say to much about on here but I do have a page on Facebook.
Also this week turns out I won an award. This time as a GreenRoad Fleet Elite Award. Green road is the system which is used to see how well we can drive a bus and indicates sudden braking turning etc and produces a weekly score. The target score in 20 and mine is usually below 10 and as it seems it was below an average of 5 last year I win an award. Have to say I am still no real fan of Green Road/Drive Green but it does at least give me something to keep me amused and motivated during the day.

Never happened before

After my winging about people saying 'never seen that before' I have had a 'first time that has happened' moment. On the 13 route today and for the first time in 10 years, had a puncture. These are very rare and think I have only ever seen a handful. Anyway managed to get it to the depot and appears it had a foreign object in it.

Pearls of Wisdom

Sitting on the bus today I thought of all those 'Pearls of Wisdom' that people tell you and you find out from, sometimes bitter experience. Just for my own interest, here are some of mine. You may find it interesting.

• Never burn your bridges. You never know when you may need a friend or find yourself bumping into an ex boss.
• Never turn down a kind offer. You may not get another one
• If it seems too good to be true, IT IS
• No matter how bad you are feeling or how bleak your situation seems, you always find somebody in a worse situation. The reverse also applies!
• If you don't want it to rain, take a coat.
• The screwdriver you have is never the correct one.
• No matter how many nuts and bolts you have you never have one that fits.
• Never have any regrets. the decisions you make are the correct ones at the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
• Prayer works.
• God never lets you down. Can seem a bit slow,but he works to his plan, not ours.
• Always be first at the bar. Its always the cheapest round.
