People have moaned about their job since cavemen chased bears for a living.
We used to moan to the other half but now both work there is no fun left in that.
We used to moan down the pub to our mates but nobody goes to the pub any more.
We used to moan at work to our colleagues but now there is no time at work to moan.
This is simply an evolution in moaning opportunity.
Embrace the future. :chuckle
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Still love the job,I dont stress about it,the lino's dont try it on with me as I dont need docket,so if they give me any s**t I cut off.
It also helps your well being if you have your full break in the middle and dont panic when they try to nick prep or delivery time with extra ips.
The answer to enjoying the job is not letting line managers bully you,just because there to lazy to manage the job properly.
The majority of the main wingers in my office are the ones with no backbone,who insist on running themselves into the ground to get home before there finishing time. :cuppa

Think the job is better now, but still doesn't like the demand on the body especially on knees / calf for me. I would like new job, but not looking for one, as it will be hard to get better paid job and keep floating week off perks.

After 6 weeks in the job I'm really enjoying it, I love being outdoors as well as the office banter! The only bad thing about it is the manager, who's a c**t of the highest order. I nearly walked out in my first week because of him, but am glad I didn't now as this is the most enjoyable job I've ever had. There's no way I could go back to sitting on my arse in an office for 8 hours a day.

Absolutely loathe this job now.
If it were not for the fact that Britain's talent lies not in job creation, but destroying what few jobs are left, I'd be off like a shot and get myself another. As it is, I'm trapped and it makes me seethe with anger.
Royal Mail is a crap company that treats it's employees with barely disguised contempt, and I for one, will never enjoy any aspect of working for those karnts.
