Spread your wings and fly away

Looking at sixth forms.

Went to the main one in town, a sixth form college which on first impression is filled with idiots.

Why did I come to this conclusion?

Directed to a carpark.

yellow jacketed man speaks into his radio, hears crackling then 5 spaces so directs me to where these supposed 5 spaces are so that I can park the car.

However the morons who parked their cars there, did so that they took up two spaces on either side, hence being unable to park my own car without inducing injury to oneself trying to get out of a gap in the door of 1/2 an inch.

So go round car park again, being directed by yellow jacketed guy until I eventually come to a woman who is in a smaller car than mine trying to get into the space I was originally shown to.

She struggled and eventually gave up.

"Park, Park" says the yellow jacketed one.

Woman driver tries to tell him she can't get her car into the space, he still shouting at her to park at which point I wind down my window and tell him that it is no good trying to get people to park in spaces that are far to small because of the idiots who are unable to park their cars in a straight line!

Please note at this point I am very very calm.

So he gets on his radio, there is some crackling heard and eventually he directs us all to another car park, smaller than the original one, this time manned by a woman in a yellow jacket.

At this point I have to say, put a yellow jacket on and you become the biggest moron that anyone has seen.

Why?

She tells me to park in a space but leaves it to the last minute to do so, so I cannot drive into it. Not a problem because I prefer reversing anyway.

However there is a car, as there always is when you try and reverse into a space trying to get into my boot. So I calmly wait for him to back up a bit and I start to reverse back, then forward to avoid hitting any parked cars and straighten mine. So what does moron number 2 do? Stands right in front of the car so I cannot move forward and tells me to move back, which I can't do otherwise I will hit the parked car. So I politely tell her to move out of the way, she eventually gets the message but not without me being firm, and I move forward only to see her allowing several people to walk behind the car.

How bloody stupid is that? She knows I am going to reverse!!!

By this time being calm has fled the nest. I start to reverse, she is still behind me waving her arms. i straighten the car out and am pleased that I am going in straight, she still waving her arms and shouting "back a bit, back a bit" by which time I lose it and tell her to get out of the way, ever so politely, because now she is just distracting me.

She eventually moves I park up and then have to walk to find where the entrance is.

As if that wasn't bad enough, going home was hysterical.

"do you have any deicer?" says some woman standing at her car as I reach mine. "my car has iced up"

"No sorry" I reply, "I don't use it, had a bad experience with it once so won't use it"

"Oh ok" she says and starts to head off back to the building which we are parked quite a fair distance away from, leaving the car door open and the keys in the ignition!

And my son is thinking of studying there? God help us all!!

It was so hard getting out of bed this morning. I was wide awake early, yet when the alarm went off it reminded me that yes it is the start of another week of work.

I went to bed early yesterday. Pain in neck and shoulder giving me a headache. Feel as though I take two steps forward and three back at the moment. I have to realise I cannot do as much as I normally do and to be honest it is getting me down. But then again it could be because it is November and I do not face the start of winter well, I hate the cold.

There is ice on the cars outside this morning, but there is a lovely looking sky out there - which has reminded me I have no batteries for my camera otherwise I would post a picture or two of it.

Of to look at the sixth form college this evening with eldest, to see whether he will want to go there or not.Then there is the decision of which one he has seen that he wants to apply for. He is so laid back about it all, wish I could be so calm as I know where I want him to go but the decision has to be his really.

Right enough rambling on, just to keep y9ou informed of the news today, Madeleine McCann, Heather Mills, oh and someone called Chelsy who has split with Prince Harry are apparently mentioned in the papers (groan!). Has nothing of real interest happened in the world at all over the weekend!

Have a good day

Hugs
