I don’t know if the long-time readers of my blog remember me having a moan about snowed in clients wanting me to come out to them the last time we had weather like this back in January/February.
Well, the phone’s been ringing again with such gents again. I got the impression in a couple of cases that they had decided to take the day off work after deciding not to go in because of the snow, so have decided that to relieve their boredom they’d like an escort to come visit them. I’ve had to gently remind them that if they’re snowed and can’t get to work because of lack of transportation, then how would they expect me to reach them? I’ve yet to hear an answer that doesn’t tail off in a mumble because of lack of a suitable response.
I’m unsure as to whether I’m supposed to possess some sort of superpower where I’m either able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, websling my way from building to building, or if I should just go the old-fashioned way and dust off my invisible jet and fly over to Essex (in one phone call) in that. With it being invisible I could hide it from client’s nosey neighbours and still remain discreet.
And as predicted I’ve also had a couple of calls this week asking if I’m in Jersey. Well, apart from the fact that you left it a tad bit late matey, Gatwick Airport has been closed for the past couple of days, with major disruptions at other airports. It would’ve had to have been a bit of a miracle to get there. Blimey, thinking about it, that worked out well didn’t it? I was supposed to have flown out yesterday.
No, I’ve had a good few days off studying, reading and watching mindless telly. I haven’t seen the point of not going anywhere unless I had to. I also got a couple of requests for incalls at Victoria. But again, I would still have to leave home to get there and did anybody see the chaos at Victoria Stn on Tuesday? Yeah, I don’t think so.
Since the nightmare of the school pick-up on Tuesday I’ve made one other trip out to go food shopping and I wouldn’t have done that if I didn’t have to. And even then I went to Sainsbury’s instead my usual Tesco’s because Tesco’s car park was underground, which meant going up and down a steep incline. I tried going up a steep incline on ice once before, it didn’t work. Sainsbury’s car park is outside on nice flat ground.
Since then I’ve been ensconsed in my house under my duvet and nothing else is getting me out from underneath it. Well, until tomorrow when I do have a booking at Victoria. Fingers crossed that comes to fruition. It’ll be a bit warmer then and things should start melting. At the moment it’s -5deg where I am. How’re you all coping?
