Under the impression I was wanted in on my day off - arrived at 063hrs to be told "We don't need you" ...

Went home ...
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

Black Friday deals have kicked off early at a lot of online shops this year, for instance Amazon started on Monday 14th and Chain Reaction Cycles released their "week 3" Black Friday deals earlier today. Hopefully means the madness will not be quite so bad on the parcel front from Saturday 26th onwards.

Very longer and busy day yesterday. In fact the whole week was really heavy. Six people went sick this week, a phone call on Friday to do a walk, lead to a really long and tiring day. I can see quite a few going off in the weeks to come.
