    • I actually do a lot of work when I'm in the office.

      In Court I do less though it depends on the day. For example, I got very stressed this morning until about 12 when it went quiet and I sat down with and chatted to legal peeps.
      I also chat up women a lot which kind of backfired today but there we go.

      Just messin G :)

      Warning: Wall or ranting text resulting in waste of alcohol incoming.

      Today, a day I dont usually work, I walked in to find I'd been given the stupidly long run, half my stuff wasnt picked or consolidated, I had to load most of my van on my tod and got a right sweat on, all the deliveries were all over the place and to make matters worse the time slots for delivery were all over the place so I couldnt really work out a decent route.
      Finally leave 15 minutes before the first delivery slot to do the 45 minutes to get to the first drop.
      To add to this every fucking farmer in the north-east was out and about on every fucking road and a combine harvester was slowing shit down on the A1.
      Got it all done on time bar 1 technically as I got there at 3:59 and she signed for it at 14:03 (the slot closed at 14:00)

      So I finally get back to the store to find I'm last back. Not surprising thanks to the run but it's been a while since it's happened.
      So now I need to re-load for the night run. In their ultimate wisdom to stop water getting into the loading bay doors (that have a slope on the other side that goes AWAY from them) the builders put a large metal lip on the floor.
      So I'm pushing the trolley with the stuff on over it as usual being careful about it, and guess what, 3 boxes full of 20 large bottles of cider and a couple of bottles of vodka go flying as one of the wheels jams on the lip.
      3 bottles of cider get pierced and spray one of the vans, John and me a little bit and a bottle of vodka lays smashed.
      Not happy.
      Still I was first back from the night run. Every cloud...

      This is actually the first job where if I don't do it it gets everyone else behind and its great at the same time as the workload is generally fine except for the Thursday deadline, I really like the way things are at the moment!

      Nope a barrister very publicly told several other people about one of the the women I have a thing for, when she was sat about 2 seats away. I played it cool but it could have all gone wrong.

    • Or tried to save yourself from embarrasement by red-facedly blurting out: "It's not true, I think you're a minger!"
    •  GarethGareth
    • Apart from jokingly feigning ignorance, I think there was a wink involved.

      I didn't get too embarrassed, though I think she may have gone to be physically sick at some point afterwards.

    • In the cinema if/when i get time to skive I wander up to Bar & chat with the missus, or Loretta or Frankie. That or walk around in circles in self serve & eat bits of food that have escaped, like nachos or pick n mix.

      With Usual Suspects its usually hanging around & having a cuppa or a fag if I can scrounge.

      Dunno about asda yet as its been a faff starting. Because i was working on the day of the first induction I now have to wait till after the 10th sept to organise another one! the woman who arranges them is abroad till then. Which is shit really.

    • I am very jealous of all you people who actually GET free time at work. I currently have to sit in a call centre 8 hrs a day, arguing with morons on the phone all day about things I don't even care about!

    • Waargh waaaargh, stop ringing me, waaaargh.

      Get a different job.

      I used to do all that call centre BS. I am officially finished with it, no matter how desperate for money I am.

      As for passing time. I don't really get much free time, but then again I don't work long hours. My spare time is usually spent chatting with people in the shop, eating/drinking/smoking or driving between areas listening to some fine tunes or Radio4.

      Nothing, she wasn't interested though.Far too polite about the whole thing. On a completely unrelated note, what does it mean if someone wears a ring on their right hand ring finger?
    •  CareyCarey
    • nothing, as far as i know. what kind of ring?

      I didn't wrestle her to the floor to inspect it. Or ask. I thought that was the engagement ring finger?
    •  CareyCarey
    • no, that's the left hand.
