"Big Picture"

Post by arty_morty »

Eight of us had our Big Picture meeting today ahead of our revision. It was a struggle to stay awake.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

I'm not looking forward to that, mostly because I'm worried about who I'll get paired with!

But you'll get paired with lots of people.
A regular partner, the rest day cover(s), annual leave reserve(s), sick cover.
Just think of it as a gang bang.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Its worse when you get a 24 hour part time partner, your expected to prep and bag up two rounds for 9.50 a.m. You're knackered before you leave the building.

Funny how you said 09:50am when first letter is 9:45am so you should be ready by 09:10 and have your 20 minute break then leave at 09:30 for your 15 minutes conveyance. I'm 25 hours contracted and what I find is the full timers can't have it boxed in and the letters/packets are all over the place in the wrong streets etc, good job I'm quick at putting things right otherwise I'd be there all day.
