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.

On The Road Again

I am down in Worcester at the moment. Scottish and Souther Energy (the company I work for) is a great company but sometimes has some crazy ideas. Each year the company declares 2 random months their employees are not allowed to fly on business. This year they have declared July, August and now September as "No Fly" months.

As a result I have had to drive from Perth to Worcester. Fortunately I have a decent car, well at least I thought it was. This time I am driving the new Vauxhall Insignia. This has been voted one of the best cars in 2009. I am not sure what model I have but it can't pull the skin off a rice pudding and when I look in the rear view mirror it looks like I am looking through a letter box.

Not sure what Jeremy Clarkson would say but I would like his job.
