What do DOMS do between our start time and when we go out on delivery ?

Is "not a lot" the correct answer ?

Ours is normally pacing around trying to look the big cheese with his clipboard and air of self-importance until the IPS is done. Once the slaves have departed the office and his subordinates gather in the canteen I'm sure he retreats to his sanctum, turns on the illuminated 'interview' sign on outside his office, closes the curtains, lights up 13 black candles spaced evenly around a pentagram and summons the dark forces... :evil/mad
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.

A plethora of stupid reports for people down in Cardiff who want to know down to the littlest details some shite or another. "How many Yorks are on hand at 05:00?" How many Yorks are on at 07:00?" "How many roads must a postie walk down... before you can call him a postie?" etc etc

Once they've finished making those figures up, they probably go on ebay or something :chuckle

So they can make sure the D.O.s aren't hoarding them. I mean, we have looooooads of room at the D.O. and love to hold onto them don't we? :crazy:

They ask all sorts of shite on these reports and then you'll get an "ad hoc" report with some other random shite questions that piss you off.

"How many D2D have you got to send back?" WTF?! I'm not bloody counting them!

Very rarely see my DOM. He turns up about 7 except on a Saturday when he does'nt turn up at all. Spends about 10mins making sure the Lineos are standing at the end of the aisles watching everyone doing IPS. He'll then go for a smoke then f**k off upstairs to his office. Whenever hes out of his office he's either got a mobile phone glued to his ear or smoking, sometimes if he's feels he needs a challenge he does both at the same time :shock:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

:crazy: Well, they won't answer the phone under any circumstances! Normally in out office, as soon as the slaves have left, they send some mug to the nearby Mcdonalds.
If any member of staff approaches them, they suddenly remember 'important meetings' and move with some speed in the opposite direction. Funnily, the only time they have a smile on their fisogs is when they are carpeting someone they have it in for. Yes, (Me) sometimes, I have sat there and watched them ring their hands in glee!
Some might push a york up and down, with a bemused look on their faces, others may bend down and pick the odd band off the floor.

I've heard that RM is short of equipment like perstops and Yorks....cos loads of it is being hoarded by our great DSA competition, so not only do we have to subsidise them for stealing our work, nor subsidise them for finishing the work they steal from us, we have to subsidise their equipment, by giving them ours!!! :crazy: That might by why RM demands York counts from DOMs - can't keep hold stuff going to TNT, so pressurise DOs to keep hold of theirs ( and blame them if they're short! )
