SKIP CHICK – January 2009

We’re an open-minded bunch here at The Skip, so we weren’t phased by the stubble or the Adam’s apple when we received this latest Skip Chick entry. However, we were rather concerned by the bride’s choice of gloves and undergarments for the big day. Not to mention the location! This is Stephanie (aka Stevie) from Buchanan Skip Hire, in Livingston.

Q. Hi Stephanie, please can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do? A. Hi there. I’m a JCB driver, working in the waste transfer station.

Q. So what do you enjoy most about working at Buchanans then? A. The people are the best part of my job – my workmates are great.

Q. Is this your normal attire then? It can’t be that easy to drive a JCB dressed up like Richard Branson? A. Well, I just saw the dress, and my partner and I hope to get married this year to Gemma.

Q. Wow, that sounds like a liberal arrangement! Presumably at least one of those two is the pants-wearer then! So what do you get up to outside of work then, Stephanie? A. I help look after my baby girl, Kasey, when I’m not working.

Q. Balancing motherhood with work is always a truly commendable achievement. So what do you and your colleagues think of The Skip mag? A. We all love The Skip magazine here at Buchanans.

Q. Woohoo! Finally, what’s the best thing you’ve ever seen in a skip? A. Most definitely my wedding dress! Well Stephanie, good luck to you and your partner in your triangular wedding to Gemma. Thanks very much for being our first Skip ‘Chick’ of 2009. Does anyone else get the feeling this could be a strange year…?
