What is thy bidding, my Master?
That is a phrase I can use now.Earlier today, I went for an apprenticeship interview at an international mover, based around 30 minutes from my home. Well, 32 minutes, to be exact.
On my way home, they offered me the apprenticeship, which I accepted!
That means I will have to leave home at the exact same time I am used to, and take the same bus as I usually do, which is absolutely perfect!
"But Philipsen, which countries do move stuff to?", I hear you ask? I'm glad you did. The company has established a van-line, which operates fixed services between the Scandinavian capitals and London every week. Scandinavian capitals means Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo. That means that once I have acquired my truck driving license, the company can ask me "Are you up for a trip to Oslo?", to which I say "sure, let's go!". During the interview, they also talked about a few trips they have had to Scotland, which, as you know by now, is one of my favourite places ever!
So now we just need to finalize the small details, like the start date and such. I am determined to make it there. I will work harder than ever to make sure, that I finish my education at that company.
The next step for me, in 11 days, is my Category B license. I am SO excited for that!

Hey congrats!
Just be careful if they offer you a drive to London. It may not go well.

I would suggest (as a middle aged person) a key thing is consistency. The balance of getting things done, and doing them properly. Always take a minute before starting a job to think about safety and what could possibly go wrong. Be aware others may push you to cut corners or rush, also be aware if you do they'll probably say "I never said to do that" if something goes wrong.
If you go mental trying to prove yourself, or compete with other employees, you may have a fatigue issue later in your shift. Accept it may take a little time until you are comfortable with things, you gotta walk before you run. You seem to have a level head so I think you'll be right.
But again, well done.
