From CAD Manager to Paper Boy: A Tale of Humble Beginnings

Oh, How the Mighty Fall!

Once upon a time, in the bustling world of UK consultancy, I reigned supreme as the CAD Manager of a renowned Built Asset Consultancy. My days were filled with blueprints, deadlines, and the occasional office drama. But little did I know, my destiny was about to take a whimsical turn.

I returned home one fateful evening, envisioning a tranquil retreat in my garden with a chilled bottle of wine and a captivating book. Ah, the simple joys of life, or so I thought. Alas, fate had other plans for me.

A Sudden Twist of Fate

As I stepped through my front door, ready to embrace the serenity of my evening, I was met with an unexpected predicament. It appeared that my middle son, usually tasked with the delivery of newspapers, had encountered an unfortunate mishap at A and E, rendering him incapable of his usual duties. And who else but his dear old dad was summoned to fill his shoes? Yes, you guessed it, ME!

The Reluctant Hero

Without hesitation, I found myself transformed from a high-ranking professional to a humble paper boy in the blink of an eye. No time for relaxation or leisurely pursuits – it was straight into action. With a heavy heart (and a heavier cart), I embarked on my newfound mission, armed with papers and leaflets aplenty.

Ninety minutes later, my cart stood empty, and I stood triumphant, having conquered the streets with unparalleled efficiency. But why did it take me mere moments to achieve what my son struggled to accomplish in hours? Ah, the answer is simple: I am none other than Super Dad!

A Question of Wages and Wagers

As the dust settled and the reality of my evening escapade sunk in, a pressing question lingered in my mind: should I claim my son’s wages as rightful compensation for my valiant efforts, or should I graciously relinquish them to him? Perhaps a compromise is in order – a couple of pints at The Bulls Head, perhaps?

The Silver Lining

Yet, amidst the chaos and the contemplation of parental ethics, there shines a glimmer of hope. With the paper round completed and my duties fulfilled, the weekend stretches before me like an open road, beckoning with promises of leisure and relaxation. And with the weather forecast promising sunny skies, the stage is set for a weekend of blissful indulgence.

Farewell, For Now

As the sun sets on another eventful day, I bid you adieu, dear readers. May your weekends be filled with warmth, laughter, and the occasional unexpected adventure. Until next time, stay charming, stay cheeky, and above all, stay fabulous!
