Things started really good today,naff all came in,then the 8 o'clock didn't turn up,thought we didn't have one as it was so light.
Then it did,at 8-30,a york and a half of work ffs,plus tons of missorts,well screwed us as we had to sort the whole lot.
1st letter then was 10 f***ing 30,done it just under 3hrs so wasn't too bad.
Was just a pisser that we was hanging around for so long.
3 days to go then,then back to normal hopefully.

Get well soon sore,no doubt by Sat you'll be ready to run a Marathon :wink:

Same o today 1st letter just after 10,finished just after 1.
Lost one of me pouch box keys!!! think i forgot to take it out of the keyhole when i closed it.
Happy won't be Happy when i tell him in the morn,that's all i need ffs.
Locks will have to be changed,gonna take ages no doubt,so that box won't be able to be used for a while.
The regular postie wont be happy,what a Doughnut i am.

Seems his start time is 5-00,plus by the look of it the walks don't seem that heavy,well not as heavy as mine,and maybe yours.
Ours are roughly 3hrs+
Mind you i struggle to get in at 5-45 let alone 5-00 :shock:

About your Office
some are worse than others, some are horrendous. despite only having served a 3 year sentence so far, i have quite an easy walk yes. dont be misled, im at the end of the spectrum, at the other end there are guys and ladies out there at 4pm when i go to tesco after a few hours kip!
3 hrs today,not too bad.

As for our walks with the exception of a couple,most are sameish,not much difference.
I do 5 a week,1 the easiest in the office,but that will change because of rebuilding ect.
The other 4 give or take 15mins or so.

There will always be easier/harder ones it's impossible to get them the same,but just depends what the difference is.
1-2hrs+ difference just aint on,seniority or not.
