Today the laundry is being dismantled. Builder rocked up at 7am (!) and had most of the existing fittings out by the time I logged in for work. Plumber showed up not much later, now our laundry plumbing has been modernised. Electrician popped by briefly to reposition the power points, didn't take him long at all

Better to be asked to build a fence than to be asked to act as a fence, if you ask me. ;)

In regards to being told to work in stores over xmas;

I think it's probably the "told to" part.
My own thoughts are that I'm paid to carry out a specific role, not "whatever the company says". That role is defined in my contract, and (in my case at least) is something I enjoy doing. I may well be able to work in a store, but it's not what I joined the company to do, not what I'm paid to do, and not what I want to do. If it's not within the scope of my job then I feel I am perfectly entitled to refuse if I am ordered to do it.

If, however, I was asked to do it as the company really could use my assistance then I'd probably do it.
