Finished bang on finish time. Sun was shining and it actually felt good to be out and about, even though I was working.

Crap! Moved to a duty from my normal float, as that duty holder was allowed to work his day off! How is this allowed when his round is covered by a floater (ME)? If he wants docket then why can't he come in and do a duty that is on o/t :mad. So there I am, shunted onto a duty i've never done (with no training, as usual). Had a word with the guvnor and he has promised it won't happen again :whistle

Rant over.

p.s. Lovely sunny day :wink:

Same as yesterday. Out later but managed to make up a bit of time. Major problem in the office was having to sort mail AND packets into the IPS frames after break time because they weren't done earlier. :roll:

Great day - 3 packets in total - no signed for - no pouching off.
Started at 7:10 finished at 9:40 - went home to make some hay. :cuppa
