What to watch out for? All the skuldudgery going. Never mind it's 100 pages, remember the 2010 modernisation agreement? You can download a copy or ask your branch - any excuse but to actually give you a copy you could handle. Tell him you need the hard copy to refer back to AFTER the presentation and to prepare questions based on the content.

100 pages/
Read a page/day for 5 days/week.

Tell them you'll get back to them in 5 months.

Or give it to a CSS operator on a 4 day week and come back in just over 6 months (allowing for A/L).

They are probably still here - they're just moving silently thorough the forum barely disturbing a thread - silent those Ninjas are.

just an update on the issue of the duty manager system

i tackled the planners today and they are going to send me a link to the program by friday

i even got a compliment by being called columbo in that i never ask a direct question to get my answers

slowly slowly catche monkey and all that

they were intrigued when i started asking questions on the resource controll system and put them on the back foot.

now the planner has stated that the duty manager system was abandoned 18 months ago and it is now just called the duty manager, rcs codes along side with an explanation of the codes

i cant confirm as i still have not see the duty manager but need confirmation that the new duty manager is an agreed tool that replaced the duty manager system
