The way the job is these days, your DOM will probably notice you have freed up time for him to give you and your partner either an extra loop or more indoor work.

Long busy day ending with a stint in the callers office. Crazy in there, even with 2 of us. People coming back off their walks really late. Doesn't look good for tomorrow either.

Horrendous. Non stop from 06.30 until 3pm when I finished. No time for a break, but then that's nothing new as there's never time. Totally cream crackered, thank god it's my day off tomorrow.
