TMR's all new "Tales from the Underworld" thread

[Miss Creant Commander of the picklement and baking BAb(Hons)]

Two causes for celebration then. Excellent news on the job front.   I will make you a nice cup of tea.

14 1/2 hours on shift is - it must be said - more than enough. But the weird thing is that the time seems to pass so quickly. I know that when I get up later everything will ache and that's mainly my fault for going at it hammer and tongs - those that have been there longer tend to dally too much for my liking - but I see it as a wage and a free workout, I think possibly I have a surfeit of energy as a result of the previous 25 years in an office job. And another thing - a cold beer tastes reeeeeal good after it. Oh, and I managed to nearly mangle a drug sniffer dog today; I lobbed a nice heavy bag off the lorry and whilst it was in mid-air I spotted the dog out of the corner of my eye, charging down the luggage belt. The impact made it yelp a bit!

Was the sniffer dog onto you...?

Or what they get given as a reward when they find something.

"Clever Snoopy for finding the bag of heroin, here's the squeaky TMR to chew on"

Oh good grief if the experience  is anything like the clip from a different thread I will be having nightmares again tonight...

Dog and Helium Voice

 

On the other hand a squeaky TMR being chewed on would clean the dogs teeth in a very through and eco friendly way.

I am now on a "permanent weekends" shift, which sounds terrible, but isn't; Friday and Saturday 05:00-15:30 then 15:00-01:30 Sunday and Monday. In effect I work 2 days, have a day off, then work another 2 days and have another 3 days off. With the easyJet "Summer Schedule" now operating, it should be easy to pick up overtime on all those 4 days.

And as I leave at 15:30 on Saturday and am not back until 15:00 Sunday it means I can still have a good belly full of Young's on Saturday night and still have enough recovery time for Sunday's shift.

On Wednesday we start our new contact with FlyBe. This should be fun as we have had scant training and the aircraft are different - Embraer 195s and Dash-8 400s. Horrible shitty little things that even "a dwarf" ( ) like me will struggle to squeeze into the holds. I predict utter chaos - we barely coped today and the FlyBe stuff if another 35 flights per day, going up to 61 per day within 6 weeks.

And then there's the BA 737s to come...

I am  flying out again on the Mon 11th June ...but 14.50 so a bit too early for you then

Oh yes - to Bodrum 

[The Moan Ranger]

My last flight this morning was from Bodrum. It had only 20 bags on it :-). There'll be a few more than that when you go. I'll put in for overtime, so I can make sure your bags are looked after. 

[Miss Demeanour]

Oh , you don't have to earn extra money on my behalf honey
