Good luck for the Xmas madness week.

Post by cyberheater »

I'm told tomorrow (17th) is likely to be the busiest this year. This is the final week before Xmas and it's going to be utter madness and chaos.

Good luck folks. Keep warm. Keep safe.

Pretty sure our busiest days are behind us, last Wednesday thru Friday was crazy.
Last year I recall the week before Christmas wasn't as bad (though people were told to order early then so to avoid a repeat of 2010).

It's certainly heavy but it's relaxing working to your time if you're on P&L and get to offload everything that requires an attendance call :dance
