Every job becomes routine overtime. You do the same thing everyday whether you are a stay at home mom or a Ninja Trainer. There is a range of events that occur at work that there are not many deviations from. Every once in a while there comes an event that is going to make your work exciting. It is going to deviate for the better. When I first worked at a bank, we were in the middle of working until midnight every night to get out a project to the SEC. In the middle of this they needed someone to fly to London to get a member of the board of directors to sign something. The trip was to leave NY at 9 at night out of JFK, land at Heathrow at 6AM, clear customs, go directly to the office, have the guy sign the document, and then get on a noon flight out of London returning to New York around 2 in the afternoon. Company policy was to fly first class. Now that may seem like a lot of no fun, but when you have been working 23 days in a row 9-midnight everyday including Saturday and Sunday, the thought of being able to crash in a first class seat for 6 hours and then 8 hours sounded like a vacation. I was 22 and had a passport and was tapped to do it. An hour before I was to leave for JFK, we found out that the director was flying in on Concorde that night. So instead of relaxing trip to London, I got to ride a Lincoln towncar to JFK and wait for this guy until midnight, then had to return to the office to drop off the document. Anyway what made me think of this story is that there must be some inspectors in England that feel the same way this morning. Look Here
