I always argued that a office job just wasn't for me. The prospect of being behind a desk, 9-5...
But...
I love it.
I does help to have some pretty cool work colleagues and compare to the high stress and anxiety of running around looking after customers in a pub restaurant or being the vomit responder in a major theme park. Its an odd feeling, people are honestly happy and grateful for my time and help, and no one so far has been horrible, homophobic or drunk.
On my 3rd day they asked me would I like to extend my 4 weeks to 7 mnths.
So I'm now on the helpline 9-5pm, helping customers with faulty tools, lawnmowers, dremel and Skil, Bosch, Atco and Qualcast. As long as you have your receipt and its within warranty BOSCH will repair/replace free of charge (courier inclusive).
So please don't bin those reciepts! Its a standard 2years warranty from date of purchase on Dremel, Bosch Green/DIY, Bosch Garden, SKIL and Rotozip. 3 years if registered on BOSCH Blue/Professional and on Qualcast its 5years parts and 2yrs labour.
If you do bin your reciept, its your fault! Lol.
Oh and a quick side line - there is someone who is making my life and those nearest a misery. We both agree that counselling is a massive step but without it you will keep being nasty, aggressive and a arrogant wanker. Unless you help yourself, I can not help you. As my readers know I have my own issues. So until you start to help yourself and you book that appointment, I don't want you in my life - which is your fault because we both know I have tried.
Sorry to end on a low.
Much love.
Matt

-----Original Messaage
Before my first day I got nervous, I mean mentally: yet I had met most of my co-workers and knew the building as I've been here so many times.
Suffice to say I pushed myself and I really enjoyed it. It pays a lot better than pub work and its no where near as stressful.
After my first day I had another first, yoga. Now I went in with a 'I'm gonna be a idiot' mind but actually I impressed myself. It was fun, relaxing and most of all I had no idea my body did those things. (And I don't mean fart)
Anyway, back to my desk. Its time to bet loose on the general public as they return their tools, shredders, lawnmowers, pressure washers, laser guides and much much more.

Sandra Corcoran is our hero!
Below is the press release from HiQ. Sadly our Chairman didn't win but we are thrilled she got the recognition she deserves.
A selfless ‘hero’ from Iver Heath has been praised by Olympic legend Sally Gunnell after narrowly missing out on winning a prestigious UK community award.
Sandra Corcoran, one of the longest serving members of Iver Heath’s community drama club, was one of 10 shortlisted people to win the coveted HiQ Hero accolade from the respected fast fit network, thanks to years of tireless work in her community.
She attended the final award ceremony in Birmingham where she was given a huge ovation, and some words of praise from Barcelona gold medalist Sally Gunnell.
Sally said: “The HiQ Local Hero campaign set out with the aim of unearthing a number of selfless people in local communities up and down the country, who work tirelessly for others and are not always recognised and appreciated for their efforts.
“As I look at Sandra Corcoran, it is safe to say that it has well and truly achieved its objective, so congratulations again.
“I have been privileged to receive recognition for my success on the athletics track, and it is wonderful to now be able to champion the work of Sandra, in a project that I have taken to my heart.
“You only narrowly missed out on the overall award but the work you have done – and continue to do – is just wonderful and I’m thrilled to be able to see you today and congratulate you.”
Runner- up Sandra Corcoran, whose nearest HiQ branch is in Slough on Bath Road, said: “It has been such a fantastic day and one I will never forget. Meeting the other finalists was a great pleasure, they are all so inspirational and I couldn’t believe I was there beside them.
“It was a shock to even have been selected so I’d like to thank everyone who voted.”
HiQ’s retail director Peter Tye said: “We are all delighted for Sandra. When we launched this campaign we wanted to honour the selfless people in our society who give so much time and energy for worthwhile causes, yet never wish for a thing in return.
“Sandra embodied this and we were all delighted to see her here.
“Our HiQ Hero campaign was huge for us and we were staggered by the amount of entries and the quality of those that entered.
“It has helped us position the HiQ fast fit network as a network of trust, with community heroes at each of our 150 centres nationwide.”
