Re: 4 MONTH UPDATE
Well I had another interview yesterday
And all seemed to go well so fingers crossed
A BIG BIG thank you to everyone for the good luck messages
OK a few more laughs
By the way this is all true and a snap shot of my life.
Back to Switzerland:
Got on the plane at Luton and all went well until
I got to Geneva
I had to catch a train to Interlaken the lift had broken down and the only way to the train station was via escalator it was one of those really big ones like on the London underground
I couldn’t get on it very easy with my leg in plaster and carrying a rucksack.
So I stood at the top and thought that if a looked sad enough someone would help
No at chance
I noticed that people were getting on the escalator with there suitcases on there trolley then getting off at the end OK
I could do that
Just needed a bit of space to give it a go
I waited until know one was there then got on with my crutches on top of the trolley
OK this was the bit that I began to panic
I could see at the end you had to jump a little bit to get the trolley off
I couldn’t do this not with a full cast on my leg
So I tried to get my trolley at better angel whilst on the escalator
Not a good idea
The trolley went side ways and got suck jamming the escalator
I went over the top of the trolley well stumbled over the top really
Luckily I was near the bottom
The escalator alarm started to ring very loud
Someone came from the Railway station gave me a right bollocking in
German / Swiss
But didn’t even offer to help me get up
I think they though I was pissed or crazy.
( you really have to picture this in your mind to get a idea of the full chaos this caused)
I stumbled off to catch the train I was so glad it was in the station so I could get on it and hide
Hey we all have bad days.:

Today its back to the job hunt ( I am already doing it)

I have started to apply for jobs back in the UK as well as here in NZ
at least its getting warmer back there
