ParticipantWhoo hoo!
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been working like a Japanese POW lately!
This week, I was intenting to spend my time tying up all the loose ends, and putting customers off until new year. If the phone rang like previous weeks, I’d still be working Christmas morning 🙁
Come Monday morning, and it’s complete dead here! 😀
It looks like I’ll be able to finish by Wednesday at this rate.
Can everyone make sure they’re finished by Friday at the very latest, and also make sure they have a really good and relaxing break!
Happy Holidays people!
PS Saturday is banned as a workday this week!

When I worked for Hotpoint I used to always try to have this week off. otherwise I found myself sitting in the van waiting for calls allocated over the radio. You ended up going back and forwards from one end of your area to another for the odd call here and there.
This last six weeks have been the busiest I can remember at this time of the year for many years, still booked for next three days, not done any present shopping yet. 🙁 Still seven days work is better than one. 🙂

Tis dead again!
Who else is working this week? Hello?
I phoned up Electrue technical yesterday, and… they answered the phone, straight away. 😯 It wasn’t enagged for 2 hours! 😀 Then the guy on the phone was chatting to me about random stuff? He must have been really bored! 😆
OK, if the phone doesn’t ring before 10am, I’m going back to bed!

Had Tuesday & Wednesday off. Full day booked today and most of tomorrow already booked, the roads are nice and quite so getting around is great. I think I will start a petition to make schoolchildren work nights. 😉
It is rather cold out though, car temp gauge was showing -6° this morning.

That’s what I should have done, instead of two half days, when I half work, and loiter around the forums trying to beat Martin to a post 😉
ps. iadom, the weather forcast says we’re going to get it colder and deeper with snow tomorrow 😕

So I said to the wife, “I’ll do a few jobs between Christmas and New Year”. 10 yesterday, 12 today, 8 in the book for tomorrow…….
Which bit of “a few” was the problem I wonder?
Chris.
