Many years ago - Friday morning a boss 2 up from me phoned at about 9.15ish - I was walking the last 200 yds to the office.
His opening gambit was that he had something important & I was late for work by say 20 minutes.
I listened and asked if I could call him back in 5 mins as the noise of traffic made the conversation even more difficult. In to the office I sent him a summary of the diary for the week
Mon - left house at 5.45am to go to HO for monthly meeting - returned home 8.30pm
Tues - Office 9.30 - 5.00
Wed - customer calls starting 60 miles from my house at 9 ish, finishing 5pm ish then drove 80 miles home
Thursday - left home 6 ish - drove to Aberdeen 1st Customer 9.00am - several calls finishing about 5 pm & driving 130 miles home
Roughly 46 hours + Friday - in office 9.20 - will leave around 4.30pm. =53 hours (37 .5 hour week)
He never acknowledged the above but asked a few questions which I answered.
