Workers Start Young

Today was take your child to work day.  Cameron cam with me to Scottish and Southern Energy for the day.  While signing in we bumped into one of my friends in reception.  I told Cameron if he worked hard he could have a job like Craig, who now works for the company in China.

If Cameron did not work as hard he might end up working in a “call centre”.  On order to demonstrate this further he spent the morning in SSE’s Home Services call centre.

The afternoon was spent with our corporate team who were letting them know what SSE do as a company and explaining our company values; “The SSE-SET”

• Safety
• Service
• Efficiency
• Sustainability
• Excellence
• Teamwork

Cameron was not too impressed that he was at work until 5pm rather than finishing school at 3:30pm but at least he was not at school.

Child Labour

Today was “take your child to work day”.  This is an event that is run all over the country and gives school children an opportunity to experience life outside school.

I took Cameron to SSE where I work.  Currently I am working in Energy Trading but he spent time is this section last year so I had arranged for Cameron to sit in our Home Services Call Centre.  I thought this might encourage him to work harder at school so he does not end up working there after he leaves school. 

In the afternoon the company arranged corporate activities for the children and shown below is that event.

Alasdair at Aerodrome

Last weekend Alasdair, along with 200 other cubs visited Perth Aerodrome to gain his Air Activities Cub Badge.  The afternoon was spent having a sports day.

Cameron at Craggan Camp

Cameron and the other scouts are building a bridge across the river.  Most of them ended up falling in the water.

Boys in Bedford

Last weekend my Father and brothers decending on Beford. Dad was showing us all where he grew up. The whole weekend involved lots of fun and a bit of alcohol. Saturday we visited the farm where Dad used to work and in the afternoon had a lazy time along the river in Bedford.

In the evening we were eating at the Mannor Coutry Hotel and got invited as personal guest of the owner to Sunday lunch.

On Saturday evening we educated Dad by taking him clubing.
