  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I could have had more work at times. Sometimes I would be given 2 or 3 tasks but I was quite often left with not enough to do. Despite this, people were conscious about my workload and this is difficult to manage when doing your own job at the same time. Overall I could have had more work, but it wasn't a problem.
