Could ya?
Could you do a 9-5 job now,or rather 7ish am to 7ish pm,i know i couldn't.
I'd have to be offered serious money to go back to that,my last job like that was after i'd left school.
Left home 1/2 past 7 got home 7ish.
Despite the moans and groans from us,how many of us could do it.
After having lunch with the missus the rest of the day is mine,not like some that have over half a day's work left.
This,despite the shite we get is a big attraction for me in the job,which is why i,and i'm sure a lot of you stay in it so long.
Yes there's the early starts,but i'm sure after another 10 years on,i'll get used to it.
Well at times we're doing a full day,well 8 hrs.
I like our times which i presume most of us do,if it changes too much then a lot of people could reconsider the job.
But as for leaving to go to a 9-5er now, no damned chance.
A couple of times a week I go docket mad and do another full delivery after mine, if I can agree a good deal with the manager. A lot of the time I do the odd bag (and why not do a bag for two hours docket, esp on Tuesday). If I do two rounds and a bag it feels like a day job. I once came in on my day off to do two rounds. Mine, (a full time round) and a part time. Threw them both in and delivered and got the full 14 and half hours. So on paper I started at 5 as normal and finished at half seven in evening. In reality it was Saturday and I was home by 11.
