No not a nosher, just alone in the word with a mental health problem so if my routine changes it unsettles me.
No outside contact out of work and i cant find the point of hobbies, so i just sleep, work,eat,sleep each day.

Wow that never happens at my office. No one gets back at that time, even just after Christmas. Lots of us struggle to finish before our duty finish time.

probably to do with the crap computer program they implemented to structure the duties, it can make easy walks look like monsters and the opposite too.

I have just been told there could be huge differences between different step measuring devices eg iPhone or fit-bit

Yes i think thats true, my iphone seems to be quite conservative in its measuring compared to my van partners huwaei phone which often gives way more steps etc than my iphone despite us working together everyday.

I just googled that date. I was expecting it to be a Tuesday but it was a Saturday. Nevertheless years ago in RM it wasn't uncommon to get finished earlier on a Saturday. Also interesting to note that posts just before this mention managerial bullying and imminent local strikes so some things never change in RM

On a separate note are you connected to the Matt who was recently banned from this forum for trolling?
