I had the good fortune (initially) to be taking a flight from Glasgow on Thursday. I rose at ridiculous o’clock (4.45am) to make my 8.30 flight and ensure Edinburgh and Glasgow traffic were safely negotiated.
I left my car at Glasgow airport and went off and had a very productive day, returning into Glasgow at 7pm. After paying for my car parking I went to collect my car, only to find my keys were missing….
After frantically searching through my bag around 5 times, I finally admitted defeat. BA helped me establish that there was nothing found on the plane and suggested lost property……which was closed.
My wife was supposed to be meeting friends for a very rare evening out and was obviously delighted when I called to tell her the keys were lost. I finally rolled home at 10.30pm with no car and no keys!
Car has now been reclaimed, via a hefty £26 parking fee, although keys still evade detection. I’ve contacted every place I went to on Thursday but no joy. Life throws the most wonderful ‘curve balls’ at you sometimes.

You showed tremendous initiative in getting home without a car. Also, tremendous foresight, vision and planning to avoid those pesky traffic jams. That SQH qualification is great at bringing out these latent leadership skills. No wonder your wife was delighted. You are going all the way to the top. Bring on more of these stories of heroic derring-do! You are the man! Did you hit the curve ball?

I am truly impressed by the high level of initiative demonstrated during this experiential learning opprtunity.
I believe there is mileage in preparing a proposal for the SQA in terms of developing a new Skills for Work Course in Crisis Problem Solving!
Glad to hear you got the car back.
