Dutch term or phrase: in x is geen lijn te trekken
This multi-tasker works for a courier company.

In de agenda van deze piloot/trainer/safety coördinator is geen lijn te trekken. Elke week, elke dag en zelfs elke nacht ziet er anders uit.

Examples on the web suggest it means there's no discernible pattern, nothing in common. Can't quite find the right phrase here - staff magazine article so friendly, informal style preferred.

Ah yes, routine was the word I was scrabbling for. Good idea to switch to "job". Thanks.
