Sorry I have not posted in the last few weeks. It has been a time of being busy getting ready for my ETA qualifier. ETA is the St John, Ambulance crew level. And I needed to catch up on my reading and CPD folder.
I did requal for another year. Then that night, I did something a bit mad. signed up to be assessed for suitability for a course that will give me another qualification. not linked to the ambulance level.
The selection assignment for this is tough, I do think it is the illegitimate child of Satan. Next week I will find out if I made it onto the course.
Right now on to the title of the post.
There are two of me, Dave and Andy ,and no, I have not developed Dissociative Identity Disorder.
No, it was a funny thing that happened at work last week.
I was quickly grabbing a coffee before heading over to our Baschurch campus, when a parent came up, mobile phone to ear and asked me "can you tell me where the second glass reception is" and before I had time to answer she continued "Speak to my daughter to find out where she is"
With the parents mobile to my ear, "Hello, I am Dave, do you know what campus you are on" the reply was no. then i asked a question I already knew the answer to, "can you ask someone" after a muffled few seconds the reply comes back "Baschurch campus"
That is 12 miles away from my base campus where I am standing. So after giving her mother direction to the campus and the right entrance. I when on my way to pick up some bit and headed to baschurch campus.
I arrive at the campus offloaded my bits for baschurch campus in reception, then see the parents car arrive from the wrong direction. As she got out of the car she said "this look like it's the right part" She carries on across the car park towards me coming out of the Harris centre, where reception is.
"I just seen your Twin, Dave at the other site" she says to me. Keeping a straight face and mischievous side waking up. she continued " Nice lad, very helpful, even if we forgot he told us to take the first entrance"
That was it, my mischievous side got the better of me. "Oh, yes he is. apparently we are both nice lads. anyway it Andy" As i said this I held out my hand for a handshake " I will let him know, you found his directions helpful"
To which she responses "Just don't tell him I took the second entrance first" I said i would not. we said goodbye and I headed off to get on with my next job with a cheeky smile on my face.
I told my line manager that someone thinks there are two of me, so can i have two pay packets. he just laughed.
Till next time Dear Reader, Stay Safe.
