Yeah, never get my edig surveys done if not. It's a bog company and they can't trace the calls as it's all directed through one number. My co-worker spends hours chatting to his friends.

I could do my job part time, but afraid they won't let me do that on the off chance i need to do something so spend time doing my 'other' work. Don't know how i would manage if i didn't lol

Can I just say that GR have been fantastic with the snow :T they have moved ALL of my jobs unlike some other companies who have been quite snotty! I know who I will be going the extra mile for in the future. Actually to be fair there are only two who I wont be bothered if I dont get much work from, all of the others have been good :T

-13.6 here last night (I know tropical compared to you really northern bods!) but hoping that please not too much more snow tonight! Have spent another 4 hours today digging snow and actually am getting a bit bored of it now if you dont mind.

OMG!!!!! Next week is looking really busy for me already. I don't think I'm going to accept any more MS work now for next week. I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet and I'm starting to panic. Not only that, I have relatives to post to in Australia and the cut off date is Monday. Looks like they're all going to be getting something off the internet! :eek:

Check the post first though MG
I'm posting to my daughter in Japan, ordered on the internet but nothing has arrived with me yet due to the snow!
I'm not taking new work for next week as I'm getting stressed enough as it is!

I echo that. I've been snowed in all week and GR were lovely and postponed all my jobs for me without any fuss. Some other companies were less helpful and de-allocated the jobs from me because they insisted they must be done that day.

It was a record low of -17 here last night but at least there hasn't been much more snow today. I'm really hoping that can get out on Monday to do some jobs as the backlog is huge.

I did try starting to dig my car out yesterday but there was just too much snow and nowhere to put it. I think I'll have to spend all weekend digging out a path for my car if I want any reasonable chance of getting out on Monday. All my muscles are hurting with all the digging It's cheaper than a workout at the gym :cool:
