Pink bits...


Okay, just a heads up, at the temp job, if you don’t highlight, with a specific pink highlighter pen, pieces of paperwork in the workshop, the mechanics can’t be expected to identify the vehicle concerned with flimsy bits of information on the vehicle like their name, the customer’s name, the fleet number, registration number, license plate number, car make and model, engine, condition, problem – and really how could you expect a trained professional mechanic to be able to identify what they’re trained in unless it’s in pink? Madness to think otherwise. They’ve been doing it this way since 1970. And having it on the computer? Well that’s just a new fangled idea. Mechanical things only work on paper with pink bits on it. These mechanics swear by it.

No really, wouldn’t you want to marry them all?

Ladies work...


So, I was working at my desk and, let’s call him Sam, the cleaner, came through to sweep and mop etc. He’s also one of the mechanics in the workshop. He’s a nice guy. As he was working some of the other mechanics wandered and Sam said to them, “Just doing ladies work.” I turned to him and said. “What was that?” His response was to blush and say, “Just talking tough in front of the boys.” The boys all then looked sheepish as men do when confronted by lovely, yet scary, women such as myself. I smiled and said, “It will take years for you all to be as tough as women.” One bloke nodded and said, “Yep, I just do what the wife tells me to do. I don’t want no trouble.”


Men – delightful souls when trained well.
