Well thats the first day over, only 154 days left.

Was a totally knackering day and I did practically bugger all, for those interested this is a breakdown of my first day.

Arrive 20 mins early to find a huge que outside reception, spend 30mins queing to sign in.

Get taken to a room where we wait again.

We're then taken into another room to que and sign declaration form and get posting.

Join another que to get warrant number & class details.

Join another que to register for class and get ID badge.

Join another que to get locker key.

Goto canteen, get coffee and wait.

Get taken to get first lesson notes, paper, etc...

Goto class room, get given lecture on dress code, time keeping & general conduct from tutor.

Break for lunch, take stuff to locker then make way to other side of estate by which time 15mins lunch left, get pack of crisps & twix, scoff quickly while smoking.

Go into lecture hall and listen to lecture on dress code, time keeping & general conduct from head of training.

Get welcome speech & lecture on dress code, time keeping & general conduct from Chief Inspector.

Get welcome speech & lecture on dress code, time keeping & general conduct from Superintendant.

Get sworn in.

Quick fag break.

Get speech regarding physical training.

Get speech on the support foundations available.

Finish for the day.

Tomorrow is the start of my IPLDP training, to say I'm nervous is a bit of an understatement.

It's all my fault though, leave everything to the last minute as usual then have to run round finding somewhere with a passport photo booth open on a Sunday.

I will be revamping this blog over the coming weeks/months, I havent decided yet if I will keep it with blogger.com or move it elsewhere so until I decide the template will stay as a basic one as no point changing it if I do move the blog.
