So like I was saying earlier, I have had a really challenging week - a few weeks ago I was persuaded at work to take a training course to drive the two fork lift trucks, I was apprehensive when I started but even so I can honestly say that I underestimated how difficult I would actually find it. The first three days were spent learning the reach truck which lifts higher and basically moves sideways. I gave it my best shot, but absolutely hated it!!!! I just couldn't get my head around the steering and the more and more I was getting frustrated with myself then I was forgetting how to carry out the maneuvers. It didn't help, either, that our training was being carried out in a delivery yard that we share with a Pets at home, Carpetright and also a PC world store, so it was all very stop, start anyway! Midway Thursday I hit a wall - mentally, not physically!!! - and had a bit of a meltdown. It was agreed with by boss to terminate the course, and that was that. I don't like giving up on anything and still feel disappointed, but sometimes, I guess, some things just are not right for you.....maybe the go-kart in this image would be a much more suitable method of transport for me
