so far this year, i've worked 2640 hours

i "should" have only worked 2080 in the whole year as a total

so i'll have clocked up around 800 hours worth of overtime on my basic, and that's without the 200 odd hours i've done over the weekends

i start at 6 everyweekday, 7 on a saturday, and then work till i'm finished, be it 2 pm or 12:30 am like it has been in the past

the other week i did 75 hours, putting in 15 hour days plus the weekend

and what do i do? i sit in an office, making sure that everyones got what they need to get out on the road in the mornings, then i go out and do a round myself, then come back and make sure everyones finished what they are doing before going home
i've got to make sure the vans are roadworthy, all the paperwork is up to date, everyone is in uniform, check the vans every morning for new bumps and scrapes, etc, etc

and i'm also on 24 hour call out if the fridge packs up
