One of my bad traits is that I can get quite impatient with people who are slow and uninterested in their work. When I’m at work this isn’t normally an issue as the people I work with know what they’re doing. It does however get to me when another provided is using the same load out route and holds us up from getting home.
This is what happened last night when the caterers were taking an obscene amount of time to shift their equipment. At 2am after a 22 hour day, the last thing you want to do is wait around, so I decided to help push things out of the lift.
My toe to the left is the result of me attempting to push an oven over a cracked bit of concrete. They’re a little top heavy and when I tried to right it, the wheels rolled the other way and it landed on my big toe. I suppose that will teach me for being impatient, and more importantly, it’s a sign I should never help caterers!
Surely then Dave you also learnt the value of steel toe capped boots…?
Maybe. The way I see it at the moment is that if I wasn’t touching catering equipment, it wouldn’t have happened! The day Merrell bring out a steel toe shoe, I’ll wear them regularly!
