Can you do your duty within it's time? If you can't then leave enough behind to finish on time :Very Happy

We've got to get it out of our heads that a day is heavy or not, our days are whatever hours RM want them to be and once they're over then we finish.

I've come to despise tuesdays.
When you have an IWT and Delivery Methods revision you will understand.
Not enough indoor work on a tuesday is the major problem.

I like fridays.
Some fridays my delivery span shrinks all the way down to 3hrs.
It's like 1995 all over again. :nana
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

every day I now cut off , if we finish before which is maybe once in a blue moon its a bonus.
Before Park and Loop I cut off maybe 4 times in 8 years
Since Park and Loop I have completed 4 times in 8 months.
Sickness and injuries have increased significantly ,2 have left one has been suspended for swearing at the manager , 3 longterm sick including broken collarbone, shin splints and achilies problems and that is out of 38 and they havent replaced any and they want all the duties covered :left: :left:
