Yes. But the other way round    I showed the svelte redhead earlier and she nearly threw up 

You should have showed her your hand instead.

I'd imagine he is referring to Agency Worker Regulations

Correct Miss D.  The company is worried that because I basically do the full job (apart from pushing planes back and talking to the pilot) then under the AWR they will have to pay me the same as the permanent staff. But that wouldn't be for 12 weeks and they are already talking about taking us on permanently anyway. So they have decided to simply restrict what we do for the next 12 weeks so that we aren't comparable to th permanent staff. Utter madness

Penetrated deep into BA territory this morning - stand 553, hitherto the sole domain of BA. We were flanked either side by scowling BA ground crew - they hate us being on "their stands". The hatred is currently exacerbated as very strong rumours abound that we will be taking over all BA's ground handling some time in April; and that means lots of redundancies/early retirement for them. Oh - and it looks like I will be offered a permanent position in about 10 weeks time!

Sounds like a cause to celebrate

14 1/2 hours on shift is - it must be said - more than enough. But the weird thing is that the time seems to pass so quickly. I know that when I get up later everything will ache and that's mainly my fault for going at it hammer and tongs - those that have been there longer tend to dally too much for my liking - but I see it as a wage and a free workout, I think possibly I have a surfeit of energy as a result of the previous 25 years in an office job. And another thing - a cold beer tastes reeeeeal good after it. Oh, and I managed to nearly mangle a drug sniffer dog today; I lobbed a nice heavy bag off the lorry and whilst it was in mid-air I spotted the dog out of the corner of my eye, charging down the luggage belt. The impact made it yelp a bit!
