Default Got up at 5am for nothing.....

The agency phoned me yesterday and offered me a 6am start I had the usual anxious nights tossing and turning due to the likely lack of sleep, got up had a coffee left the house at 5.40 am only to be told on arrival that he'd cancelled and the agency hadn't told me

It's the first time to be fair, but also the first time I've been asked to start so early, Rachel has got up with me and made me coffee and samwidches and then gone back to bed.

She said I frightened her half to death when I came back and knocked on the door

Thats alright, R left as usual at 5 am, about an hours drive, its been torrential rain here all night but the principal contractor likes all the men to turn up at 6.30 so R as the boss can offically declare its too wet to work None of the workers get paid, no body complains amazingly its just the way its done Good job they dont employ me

Just spoke to the agent who says they didn't contact her, nothing else for me today and I was hoping to get some of the $250 back that I spent on tyres yesterday.
