Started the day with a power cut. Apparently the lights went out on the night staff at 05.15. Managed to throw off the 2 walk sequenced boxes waiting for me, in what little light there was from the entrance lights and the cleaners store room. An engineers eventually arrived and got the lights going at 06.40. 55 minutes after our start time. Needless to say we were a bit late getting the mail up. A bit of docket will be claimed in due course. :wink:

That's what I was wondering.
Although he knew his synchros and his tuners in a Warrior deck but I couldn't help thinking it might just be a way to meet children.
It seemed suspect but then I've never been into that whole Dungeons and Dragons role play stuff.

Nothing wrong with a bit of role play......................my personal favourite is my judges outfit (with stockings and suspenders) :nervous :nervous

But that's not your problem, RM wanted these put into workload and it was agreed with the CWU (whether we liked it or not) that they would be evenly over 5 or 6 days

The sad thing is he isn't going to understand why you find it so funny.

:nervous but in all fairness, it does take a while to work out that RM is not like any other employment out there and that the only thing you can do is 'the job properly' otherwise they will drive you into the ground and then disgard you when it's convenient to them. :sad:
