downtime due to weather
« on: April 25, 2012, 10:42:35 am »
hi guys hows the weather in your neck of the woods? ;D ;D ;D

its very windy and heavy rain here.....and cold!!

i was up at 6am,made flask and sandwiches,had breakfast,caught up on the news and weather.normally i wouldnt take much notice of the weather and go out anyway but it looks like a washout today.

i got a good day in yesterday and monday so im sacking it for today.try again tomorrow.

i very rarely text/phone the night before cleans(only the odd custy) so not a problem in letting customers down.less hassle all around although i did text 2 customers back last week to tell them i couldnt make it until the next day.

so in 2 weeks this in my second day of downtime.i can see me kissing goodbye to my saturdays off for a few weeks yet!! ;D ;D

take it easy guys and enjoy your "downtime"


regards
