False start...

Decided to do overtime today which meant another 5am start but had the rewards of double pay attached and I could do with the money. Co-worker set the deal up and we had a list of tasks to complete in the 8 hours allotted.

The foreman came up at about 6am and said that because co-worker had a day off without a medical certificate during the week that he had to go home... "no overtime when you have had a day off without a medical certificate."

As I was an innocent party to co-workers absences I was to be paid for three hours and then go home. I don't think it was fair on me though. Anyway I have a few errands to run so I won't be wasting the day. Free at last I can put my hard hat away for a few days. I may blog later...
