Things have got so bad that now when I cut off my lino needs another manager as a witness
I had one too though. :nana

Part seven of my cunning plan involved taking my other phone to work so they can't call me when I'm outside.its bliss,I tell em I'm working to time.

Then come back on time.
They now have to arrange the walk to be covered.if it looks like going over.

0905 start tomorrow and 1335 finish.

As a five hour shifts break is down to local agreement I've been told to take it at the end.
OK says me.calculator in hand. And a handy photo of the part time shift planner
:shhhhh
I won

Well,today was really light and that was after a very heavy Wednesday and Thursday.
Can't help thinking that there was a hold up in the system somewhere.

Found a mobile on my walk, in its wallet, lying in a puddle. Had a look to see if I could find a mum or dad number but no. Carried on my way until a bloke off the round stopped me and asked if I'd found a phone on my travels? Gave me a fiver. :Very Happy How lucky was he? :chuckle Cold and windy most of the day and booking an hour.

No D2D to throw in
No 30mins national standard work time learning (on 318)
All indoor work finished before the walk's 1hr40mins listed for Tuesdays on the frame's 318
Someone was asked to throw IPS mail into frame while I was doing indoor work
Finished with <30mins of contract hours remaining, having had ~60mins of delivery taken off me
Found stuff to keep me busy until official finish time

The planners that did our Delivery Methods revision a few years back have a lot to answer for, too many walks need "deals" (no indoor work despite 318s and/or delivery cut offs) from lino to reduce chaos.
