Oh lordy I am so glad it's almost 4. I might leave early although I got here late so I don't know. Of course there have been 2 phone calls and no customers today. Maybe I will leave early. No point being here really.
The day you leave early a customer with a big order will find the shop deserted and go elsewhere: at least that is always the risk...and you know that or you wouldn't be making excuses in advance. I have not done much by way of commercial work but spent one summer in a shipping office...we had to turn round the documentation for goods on some of the ships coming into the port of Hull: some days were totally slack and there was nothing to do, and when I asked about this was told, yes but when the ships come in we need the number of staff to get them turned round and are prepared to have them there for when they are needed. I didn't complain...it was good money as far as I was concerned...and I can't say I didn't need it.
