blog

I got a right telling off from the boss about the village people blog." Really ' he said, "I have a good mind to stop this nonsense once and for all, If I had my way I would make some big changes around here, the financial world is falling apart, there's a new president in America and all you can think of are cars on bollards and YMCA" he stormed. "I want a blog that will touch people and make a difference, why don't you tell people about the wonderful new motorway service station we are opening on the M1 at Balbriggan." As the door slammed I was really regretting I didn't choose a different career path.

Maybe I could get a transfer from the complaints department to the new motorway station at Balbriggan. I've always fancied myself as a barista. I can see myself now signing my Lattes and Capuccinos with a deft flick of the wrist and delivering them to the customer with a confident "Enjoy!" Or, perhaps I could wear a uniform and greet people as they arrived, explaining the concept, showing them to the lift and helping people in general as they made their way to the wonderful upstairs seating area, showing them to their seats with a flourish.

The boss doesn't know how lucky he is to have me. Actually, I have a hell of a lot more in common with the new American president than he has. Barack Obama and I have a multitude in common. We are both left handed. We both use a Mac computer. Both of us take size 11 shoes and have 4 identical pairs in black. We've each read all the Harry Potter books. He and I collect Spider Man comics, love Bob Dylan and cook a mean Chili. Like I said the boss doesn't realise how lucky he is to have me.
I could have been the President of the United States.
