Title: workload scheduling
Post by: dazmond on February 14, 2014, 12:14:54 pm
just sorted all my due work out for the next 2 weeks ending 28th feb on george. ;D

im not really behind as my workload consists of about 3 to 3 and a half weeks a month maintenance window cleaning and add ons as and when i can fit them in.usually when the windows are next due(existing customers).

some weeks we have 5 weeks in a month so i get "breathing" space at the end of the month.i work in most bad weather but not this current spell!!(short month this month as well!) ;D ;D

even on the days i work im often home for 4pm and start around 9am or 10pm.most of the time they are pretty steady easy(ish)working days.i have 30 mins for lunch and im well organised in regards to invoices,chits etc.

i have nearly 2 grands worth of work to complete by 28 feb to keep up to date.then ill take the first week of march off and schedule work for the remaining 3 and a bit weeks of march due to certain work(that will be cleaned in the next 2 weeks) being out of sync.

its very rare i get behind with work at all as most bad weather is workable and i usually catch up on a saturday or fit a few more jobs in my working days for a while.

obviously work gets shifted forward a bit from time to time but thats the nature of the beast.

still up on last years earnings wise and over 300 accounts are going up from april!happy days! ;D

im looking forward to the summer guys!new van with 500L tank and vinyl wrapped in april/may. :D


for now though im having a relaxing 3 day weekend!!


very best wishes to you all

Nice one Dazmondo! I always enjoy your positive, upbeat posts (especially heartening as I know you've been through a lot in the past).

Me? I am a few days behind and well over a grand down on where I expected to be at this point in my financial year. Never mind - it can't be helped. We had over 100mph winds here on Wednesday and it blew my stableblock (the one in this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlwelsby/8408498742/in/set-72157632593545198) 4 feet off it's concrete base!

I have some wet days built in to every month, so I should be able to catch up, but as i'm at the end of the year nearly anything that's rolled on will fall into 2014/15.

Have a great weekend with your girlfriend!

I'm up to date, can't believe it though with the weather we are having here.
Going away for 2 weeks snowboarding from 22nd Feb so hoping we come back to nice weather.
