what a waste of money...

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)
1

…did a shift for Royal Mail yesterday, it was one of those ‘contingency’ shifts

so I sat on my arse 7.5 hours doing absolutely nothing in the office/waiting area

oh yes sorry forgot, I moved TWO trailers from bay x to bay y :unamused:

yes the waste of money is theirs not mine, I got full pay for doing nothing, which is great for many but I actually do agency shifts for the fun of driving so I was a tad disappointed not to drive :stuck_out_tongue:

Your moaning because you had a shift on pay with no work, just enjoy it

I know how you feel, used to have shifts like this when I was on the buses.

You were there in case someone missed a shift or similar. The first hour or so is alright but then the boredom sets in, would much rather be out on the road.

I was busy helping my elderly father who has been ill in hospital in Italy Evil, I have now ‘kidnapped him’ and brought him to live in the UK with me :wink: hence I was ‘out of action’ for a while, but ‘back in the driving seat’ now (or back in the ‘boredom chair’ of Royal Mail?? :smiley: )

I had 3 days on the trot like this last year at Yodel.

Went in the 4th day and they gave me a run :frowning: Gutted !

Multiple images of that clip were doing my head in, hence the edit! :smiley:

Hope he’s recovering, or feeling the best of what can be expected…
Is it too bold to say he’ll now probably need to? :wink:

As for you post…
I can understand, or sympathise with someone who faces day after day of bordom, but for a single shift, you haven’t a hope of even an ounce of sympathy from me! :grimacing:
We both know you’re ticking down a clock at RM, and you had the opportunity to get in 7+ hours of knitting! :laughing:
So the question is; did you take your needles? :open_mouth:

Patronising enough? :wink:

no, 'fraid no knitting needles on me on the day, ‘■■■■’ got to remember to put those in my agency-driver bag of mine :grimacing:

my dad loves living with me as I work all the time so I’m never there hahahaha :laughing:

my 20 yr old son stays home with him, them two spend all day every day watching footie and movies on sky while I go and earn the bread :wink:

as my dad is too unwell to fly I hired a motorhome and went to get him with that, it was a fun trip (not for him though he hated it!)

I would love a day sat on my arse doing nothing and getting paid for the privalage, no ■■■■■■■ chance in that though! :grimacing:
