Everyone has a line on their 318 that reads "or as directed". Unless there's a medical or training issue, managers can have us work in any section or do any type of work at any time.

:Applause Informative Post Leolion. My DO is warmer than my house, and becomes quite uncomfortable to work in after a while. Christ Knows how much RM is paying to heat Industrial Units, with tin roofs and no insulation, to these Ridiculous Temperatures :hmmmm So much for reducing Global Warming ... I personally think it's so the Guys in the Office can run around in their underpants while we're all freezing our butts off on Delivery. :cuppa
