Title: WINTER MONTHS
Post by: wrighty on June 13, 2004, 02:59:57 am

Dear All,

Do you manage to get all your work done in the winter?

How many days work do you have?

How often do you not get all your work done?

What hours or how many hours do you work?

Regards


Craig

Do you manage to get all your work done in the winter?
Yes, you just dress differently to suit the climate.

How many days work do you have?
Five days a week for the three of us.

How often do you not get all your work done?
VERY seldom - we leave enough space in the week to catch up and occasionaly work a Saturday if we're really behind.

What hours or how many hours do you work?
Monday - Friday 7.30 - 1.30

What's the matter Wrighty? Panicing already? - It's only June.

I think he read about Ben Giles cleaning the olympic dome over in Athens, and he's thinking about putting in a quote for the Winter Olympics ;)

lol I like your sense of humour chaps.

I am buying additional work so I was wondering what the professionals do in the winter and how you manage - but it looks like I will be ok with 4 days a week don't you think.

By the way i love the banter its good to see some humour instead of a lot of seriousness.

Thanks

Its nice to be able to ease up a bit in the winter but actually I find the baking hot summer days are worse than the cold.
