Looks like I've missed my first day of work...was pencilled in for a 6.45 start, so set my alarm for 5am...only just woke up and my iPhone is stuck rebooting for some really really weird reason...

Ooops...

Anyways, I feel terrible about the whole thing!!

You'd better jump in a taxi and get going. Good luck!

The fine British workforce. You cannot beat it!

Better late than never. Better get your skates on.

Correction: You've missed your last day of work.

......and to be honest, it's your own fault so no sympathy.

Ooooops! Better crack on and make sure you power through the rest of the day

Good luck!

Indeed.

And at my company I've never heard so many people complaining about having so much work to do. Make efficiencies, work faster, and don't forget that every month we stick x thousand pounds in your bank account. Drives me mad, lazy buggers.

I'm a delivery driver, my job is safe-ish, they are in desperate need of me. Shame I can't go in today now as the last run from my depot is at 7.30. My punishment is the next 3 days off work...and I only get paid for what I work....

iPhone fixed, just reset it, forced it into DFU and went from there, no idea why it rebooted in the middle of the night...

FNGsam · 25 Jan 2012 at 09:00

I got to work early this morning... I hope you feel bad

Participant · 25 Jan 2012 at 09:00

I have two alarms, especially on my first day at a new job

How is it his own fault?!

His iPhone failed, probably crashed and tried to reboot. Well, I suppose it's his own fault for owning an iPhone in the first place.

Andriod f.t.w!

Get an alarm clock?

its not unreasonable to expect you phone alarm to actually work

OP should insist on working his lunch and stay late and say sorry to all the right poeple..

make a point of being at least 10mins early and leaving 10 mins late as well as chopping 10mins off your lunch for a while...

That's the other thing I love about Britain, people never take responsibility and accept blame. It's entirely his fault, as he did not take account of the possibility of something going wrong with his iPhone alarm.

Its not my first day at this job, been working for them since about May, then passed my HGV and been driving for them since about September. It's the first day I've missed working here, and I have never been later for them, bloody love the job!!

Montala · 25 Jan 2012 at 09:04

Never could rely on these Apple thingies! :eek:

Jay794 · 25 Jan 2012 at 09:04
