Seriously ill,been took into hospital,comes back but not well,light duties,operations/operation to follow 
And he’s took over the longest run,maxing out his hours 15/15/15/13/13 and now he’s asked for night outs on the job 
probarbly the last thing he wants to do, but maybe he has no choice its hard out there at the mo
depends on the job Light duties could be he cant do lifting but sittin on arse all day could be easier than pushing trollies at Tosco or co-op
Chrimbo is coming dozy he might just be wanting extra pennies to make it a good one for his family
