The disadvantage of Park and Loop

Post by Mr Blonde »

Is when you get paired up with a nutcase.

Silence in the van :(

Does RM have to take on it's quota of care in the community graduates?

The way things are in our office at the moment, it's quite common to have various P&L partners over the course of a few weeks. Some I get on with, some I don't, but I find silence is the best policy with the ones I don't. So that nutter who doesn't speak to you probably hates your guts :shock:

Our van has done 6,000 miles in 2 years! 8-10 miles per day in total.


I saw the big downside to p&l a mile off when the repick came and paid no attention to what duties were available, only to who I would be working with.

The way you're saying that it's as though you believe that he is the full ticket.
