Yes totally. It's the latest I've been back to the office since Christmas. Let's hope it's a better day tomorrow!

Xmas parcels reloaded! Only took out half the walk, still needed to claim o/t, as I pre-warned lino this was likely before leaving office.

Another very busy day but not as bad as yesterday. I wonder why this week has been ridiculously busy, surely people aren't buying for Christmas already lol

Day off today, mostly spent putting up some Ikea bookcases and shelves.

No pay slip or any mail today for some reason? Looks like I missed a very busy day as I saw the van which does my street head drive off at half 3, when it normally is done for 2pm!

Glad I was off today!

Another Busy Day in a Busy week. Four Trays of Mech, plus two from a late last wave yesterday. :sad: Only saving grace...not too many packets. :cool

Ironic that after a WTL covering NOT being able to claim Pressure OT on Mon & Tue (and only 30 mins a day for the rest of the week) we've probably had one of the Busiest Weeks since Christmas. :crazy: All prepared to cut off on Weds if given the "Only 30 mins OT" BS.....DOM pissed on my bonfire by saying "It's OK the Computer says it's busy you claim for as long as it takes you to deliver"!
Now wasn't that what we were after in the first place? :arrrghhh

Hammered. They begged me to cover half a walk on overtime. When I drove back the other lad was still going, his van was parked behind mine. Cannot understand the boom and bust, quiet Monday, Tuesday, hammered the rest of the week.

Well that was a heavy couple of days on the spin and rumour has it, we have the joy of high call rates for the next few days, because of Council Tax bills... Yay! :shhhhh

In other news, you might want to sit down for this... No work time learning... Dun, dun, DUUUUUUUUUUN!
