Title: What you do when you go on holiday?
Post by: David 'Duck' Clare on April 21, 2006, 03:19:42 pm

Ive been thinking (dreaming) about my summer holiday.

What do you lot do when you want to go on hols? get another W/C to cover for you? make it up by working 6 or 7 days a week either side of the holiday?

No, just carry on as usual when you get back.
Might have to work hard to make up for lost wages if you wanted to.

Don't worry about the customers though.
So you're a week or so late?
Who's going to care, or even notice at all? ::)

if your good and regular any way they wont mind to much you might get one moan but then the same customer will moan if your 19 & 1/2 hrs early!! ya get me!  if they say anything then just tell them and they should be fine, as squeaky says if they notice!

I normally tell them if im away and there window cleaning is going to be late.

Think i will stop doing this though as you don't know what half of your customers are like and i would like to come back and still have a tv.

I do try to get a little bit in front before I go but nobody ever seems to notice anyway.  They know it's about 6 weekly from early Spring to early Winter and that my schedule goes pear shaped in the Winter anyway.
