Kept in today and........

Post by ashadd »

......and for fecks sake, you would think it was the end of the world for some people, my god, all the early starters moaning and whinging about having to work until their finish time. We had to make up all our d2d, tidy up all the excess boxes and then we had to have a manual handling brief.It was a waste of time, but the entertainment value of all the runners and early starters trying to make up excuses as to why they shouldn't be there was priceless. :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana
I married my wife for her looks, but not the one she gave me when i said i was going to be a postman.

I don't see any point of coming in early at work. I only do it if I got to be somewhere ie football match or catch a flight.
