If your thinking working for RM as a part timer - the dread of having to work on the day before is epic ... especially since you will probably have to sleep early (yh i know, a minor niggle but significant in my mind)

But it depends on your workload - okay as your about to finish, you feel relieved that you can finally relax and slow down --- the feeling of finishing before my hours :nana But during xmas and times where there are millions of packets --> :evil/mad
