Easter Saturday

Post by new26 »

As I've only been with RM since last summer, I am unsure what to expect.

I need to finish on time on Saturday as I have things planned in the afternoon. With there being no collections on Friday is Saturday likely to be busier or quieter than normal??

Busy or quiet mate, it doesn't matter if it's busy you can cut off

In my experience it's usually a bit of a stinker - if you've got stuff to do then work to your finish time and cut-off.

Easter saturday is normally a bit of a bitch in our office, but then last Saturday, Monday and tuesday this week were really heavy and today was light so perhaps ours was pushed through to make sure we have cleared it all away, but maybe thats just wishful thinking on my part.

But I am off saturday and our DIM ( who is away for 3 weeks ) has overcooked the number of people off and we are 3 members off staff light for saturday. I was asked if I wanted to work but I will let you guess at what I said :)

jesus -- get a day off, and all you can do is post on a forum complaining about people doing the same. On balance which is worse. :hmmmm

I don't have a day off tomorrow.
Can I moan about everyone with one moaning about people moaning about people moaning about it. (or not)

Agreed.
Perhaps we should try and bring the rest of the UK in line with Scotland.
I'm sure you'd enjoy free prescriptions as well.
