my ASC swansong
right, as some of you may be aware now i'm leaving ASC a the end of the week for "bigger and better things" well that's my story and i'm sticking to it! but anyway as a bit of a swansong i said that regardless of what happens with me leaving i would assist in every way possible, falling short of sexual favours, in getting the centre a better score in it's recent QUEST audit, our previous score had been 62%, this was done abou 2 years ago and about a year before i started at the centre. haveing been through the process a few times while i was at the wave (btw if you know these people or work there please tell them that they info on the website is out of date as Nick Guiry hasn't worked there for a while and nor has Laura Bray) anyway seeing as i'd been through it a few times i was asked on ways to improve the centre and all that type of thing...I'm not saying the score that we have got is my doing, ubt i like to think that i had some input into us doing so well...well i came up with a plan and read and re-read the various reports and action table that had been given to me over the last year and when it came round to the audit which took place thursday and friday last week we scored a massive 72-78% (final score to be confirmed). my boss nearly fell off his chair, he had to leave the room as well...i think the score came as a bit of a shock to him...and to be honest it was an awesome acheivement for the centre and the staff and it goes to show what a great team we have there and i guess now i'll be a little disappointed to leave, but i know it's the right thing for me to do now and i can leave this score as a bit of a legacy knowing i played my part even though i had days left...the best bit for my boss though was being able to say to everyone else in the company that although our centre is probably the oldest in the company and isn't in the nicest of areas and really is a bit of a dump...we're the best in the company so FU! (obviously he didn't put it quite as well as that, but he did have a little gloating session via email when we got the result and it's still going on now)
needless to say after working my arse off the last couple of weeks making sure everything was in place for quest and for my leaving and getting stressed with the boss stressing everyone out over the whole quest thing (he know's he does it now and he has promised that he will sort it for next time) a bit of a session was needed on friday evening...the boss bought a couple of pints for us on the way home, i say us but it was only really me, him and Kay (the gym manager) and 3 people from H/O or other centres...but still it meant that i managed to get a couple of beers in before chunk and his bro appeared, we hit a couple of pubs in didcot, the waterwitch where i bumped into a few people from the wave which was cool and then broadways, the first time i've been in there for ages, well over a year...and bumped into a few people in there too...it was a good night, well what i can remember was good, acually i can remember pretty much everything, including dropping the pizza i'd cooked when we got back to the flat (we being me and chunk, not me and some random woman that i'd met...and no woja, chunk isn't a random woman either!) still i managed to salvage most of the topping and put it back on ready to eat, to be honest at that time i didn't really care what it looked like, it tasted ok and we ate it while playing GT4...although it was more like lawnmower racing as we were spending more time on the grass than on the road!
saturday lead to more GT4 in the morning while i tried to lose the headache from the night before...followed by the cup final at chunks place, after which i left in the vague hope that i might get an early night so i could go out with chunk on sunday to watch chunkie's other half and her mate run while we babysat...but for some reason i woke up at 4.30 am and started puking my guts up and didn't make it back to bed until around 8am...spent the rest of the day trying to keep some food down...not good
well that was my weekend
this week i'm working out my remaining 3 shifts and i'm going to attend training tomorrow and that's my excitment over and done with...then from friday i have a glorious 10 days until i'm due to start my new job in germany, during which time i'll need to sort out a few things and get drunk :D
laters peeps
