Re: The "How was your day" thread.
Went half hour over one day last week but forgot to book it. Cannot even be arsed now - after tax I'll get about £3.80 more, and I'm not sure that's worth the hassle of having to share the same space and time as the managers for sixty seconds of my life. Last two days have been very light, and thankfully I'm off today for what I expected to be a shocker.

I will own up to forgetting to book the odd 20 mins on a sat. I kick myself when i realise a few days after

Pissed down the entire time i was out. Got to the 1st pick up point to find that 1of the bags for the other pick up point had been dropped there in error, ditto for the other pick up point. That f*cked the walk up no end. No key for the pouching off point either. FML.

Re: The "How was your day" thread.
Normal day today which means finishing around 4ish. This is not unheard of in our office, in fact there are quite a few that finish around this time. It has been proposed that lapsing will return. Maybe those who continue to come in early and skip breaks will learn, but I very much doubt it.

Re: The "How was your day" thread.
Ill today. Inflammation of the abdomen wall.
Went to work hoping for light duties but they weren't very amenable. Sent me home. Suits me. Seems to me that you get treated worse sometimes for making an effort, though. The moral, I suppose, is don't make the effort.
This is my second absence (first was 1 day) in a few months. This will probably be at least 2 days.
Does that mean I'll get a stage 1?

Still ill but better than yesterday. Tried to ring in this morning but nobody answered. Nobody rang me, either.
Maybe they think I'm dead.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday added onto the previous sickness may take it over the allocation.P13 wrote:Notaurus88 wrote:Ill today. Inflammation of the abdomen wall.

I'm going in tomorrow. Didn't go in today more because of the effects of the opium (codeine, that is).DGP1 wrote:Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday added onto the previous sickness may take it over the allocation.P13 wrote:Notaurus88 wrote:Ill today. Inflammation of the abdomen wall.

Yes stupid as it seems RM include sundays and B hols as sick days until you report for your duty
If your not right tell them you have to take it steady and will only work up to your time and may not complete the delivery, then deliver what you feel up to half or 3/4 etc
