On Friday 21st February, where I work is having a theme night for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. I will be wearing my ‘Some People are Gay. Get Over It!’ t-shirt but the new Russian version. Which I ordered yesterday. I feel as a gay man, I have to do my bit for the gay people living in Russia.
Below is photo of myself wearing the English version of the t-shirt. You can order both the English and Russian version’s at web.stonewall.org.uk/public/shop/default.aspx.
Here are two photos from my last evening at work in 2013! I am sure that most of you, know that I work at the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium. I am the main restaurant bar supervisor, in control of three bars (two in restaurant and one in the corporate suite). The restaurant has 400 reserved seats. The doors open at 6:30pm with the first race at 7:30pm.
Now you all know what I do :).
Greg and myself showing that we can look happy even at work :).
Every year at the Peterborough Greyhounds we dress up for Children In Need. This year we are did Cops and Robbers. I believe we raised £874.29. I will leave you with some photos from the evening.

I can’t believe it. Yet another great member of staff is leaving work. This time it’s Emilie! Now who I am going to get all my hugs from?? 🙁
Good luck with your job BTW Emilie! xx
Why, oh why is job hunting just so boring??? Don’t get my wrong I love my current job. Just I really need a job with more hours. Can’t really live on just doing 15 hours a week. Yes, you heard me right just 15 hours! Even if I could get my hours up to 25 hours a week. I would be more than happy. But I already do the maximum number of hours I can at my current job. Since they are only open 3 nights a week.
As much, as I love my current job. Which is a bar supervisor at the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium. I have been working at the dog track for just over 10 years. I only started working there, while I tried to sort my life out. 10 years later. I am still there.
So it’s about time, I move on and try to set myself some new goals in life…
This time next year. I want to have another job, even if it’s another one on top of my current job.
Oh and I have been looking at www.syha.org.uk/about-us/job-vacancies.aspx a lot for jobs! So yes, I may even move back to Scotland!!
Yet another great member of staff leaves the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium. It’s getting very sad, lots of members of staff are leaving. Some of which, I have worked with for 4 years. Which happens most years in September, when they leave to start university.
When they do leave, we of course have to give them a great send off!
Well pleased with myself. Just got back from cycling to and from work (Peterborough Greyhound Stadium) for the third Wednesday in a row! So really hope that the weather is good next Wednesday. So I can make it four in a row!
I will now leave you with the route statistics. No point in posting the maps again. Since I used mainly the same route as the last two times.

At long last I have gotten around to cycling to and from work for the first time this year! So in other words a 46 mile round trip! It’s taken so long to get around to it this year. Mainly due to the fact, I did not have a pannier rack, fixed to my new bike. Only got around to installing it last Saturday for the Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle.
So now I have have to hope we have great weather for the rest of August and September. So I can do it many times and save lots of money! By not having to use my car so much!

A “backwards race” at The Peterborough Greyhound Stadium. Three lads tied to each other, running backwards. Needless to say, they just about all fell over and get cover in sand.
