RE: The business of travel

Oh yeah, I can relate to your Heathrow story, not at Heathrow but elsewhere.

Although, come to think of it...When I flew from Heathrow to Helsinki in 2018 I was just finished doing bag check and was confronted by a poor lady who was very confused (couldn't see her flight on the board.). She asked me and I couldn't help but I found her an airline help lady and connected them. I stayed to listen...As it turned out her flight was in an hour, from Gatwick. She was in Heathrow. Not a good day for that lady. Your story reminded me of it.

Work sounds ok, seems like they are organised. They'll want a fuck-ton of productivity out of me though - I'm pretty sure I can deliver.

Sort:  

Traffic to either airport is always chock-a-block, so going to the wrong one is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

They'll want a fuck-ton of productivity out of me though - I'm pretty sure I can deliver.

Of, both, I have no doubt.
Go on!

I've never been to Gatwick, but yeah I can't imagine the traffic being any better there than Heathrow.

I'll give this new job a crack, see what happens. What's the worst they can do? Fire me? Lol.

I think I've traveled from Gatwick once, and I prefer Heathrow anyway.

What's the worst they can do? Fire me?

Haha! That's a good way to look at it...they can fire you, but they can't spank you, right?

I think you're entering the job fully equipped with experience, and knowledge, and I think your brain is still sharp enough to grasp the specifics of the role within your probatory period. Therefore, I see you sailing on and being there once you are content:)))

We'll see how it goes. They're making all the right sounds and moves and if that continues it'll make what I bring to the table more effective. I've done a lot of things in my life that have helped me gain skills that they'll benefit from.

Yeah, pulling out all the stops on both sides should be a win-win situation.
I bet you're super excited to start...
I think it's remarkable for someone at this stage of your life to embark on a new career, instead of sitting in the comfort zone of something you did for the majority of your work-life...so kudos to you:)))

If I don't make it I have a promising career as a donut and coffee tester ahead of me.

Yeah, that's true...and there are so many other things... except a gigolo! Unfortunately...Shame you missed out on such a coveted life.
