Worse than I thought, baptism by fire perhaps?

I would advise against taking the Kalms. I took some herbal calming pills once and I could have driven into a tree and not cared about it, I was so relaxed!!

I am sure you will do the trip with no problems at all.

I agree about the worrying beforehand being the worst part of the whole exercise, usually! As you say, phoenix, you have the driving skills and experience (even if a while ago), this organisation wants you, and it won't be as bad as you think!

Just imagine how good you'll feel about yourself at the end of it all...smile

You will be fine once you are up and running - I always worry about these things beforehand, then just get stuck in when the time comes.

Enjoy this new chapter in your life.

Thinking about things is worse than the actual doing.

Don't touch the Kalms. #asleepatthewheel shock

Afternoon all.

I have just received the schedule for the induction period for my new job.

When I first spoke to the HR person, it seemed as if it would be to Manchester by train, then to Nottingham, by train, then to Enfield to collect the car which I would then drive home. (Devon)

I was more than a bit worried about the drive home (longest journey in a goodly while, plus motorway, new car etc) but now I'm .......shock

I'm going to Enfield by train on Tuesday, then driving to Manchester for 2 nights, then driving on to Nottingham for 1 night, then home on Friday, and back to Enfield again on Monday.

I've also been advised that I may have to take another new starter with me on the Enfield to Manchester part. Not sure if this makes me feel better or worse confused

Mr P said I can take his Satnav, which will help. I'm considering investing in a packet of Kalms.

I keep telling myself that not only do I have a licence to do this, but also I have done longish motorway trips in the past, and therefore can do them again.
