Busy for a Tuesday, but considering we have just had a Bank Holiday, not as bad as I thought it would be. Got rid of everything and finished around 1.30. Warm day but plenty of drizzle, which made it very humid.

Not that much on today, although I did have a full packet bag and six recorded items. Had a team brief about the so called Swine Flu D 2 D. (Do wish they wouldn't call it that, got nothing to do with the poor little piggies :chuckle ) Got the leaflet for this a day later than the rest, so an extra 20% for that. :chuckle Warm but dull day here.

Best day I have had for ages, completed the whole delivery with 45mins spare. Mind you I was training on a new walk so that reduced time as there was two of us.

Easy day today, did my entire walk in 3 hours when it usually takes 4 and I had 9 to sign for.

Got to love days like today when they come around :cool

I'm expecting to get hammered tomorrow though :shock:

Shite. Busy as f**k and 19 trays of mech bundles arriving at 9:10 on the missort run. Our MC is starting to take the piss with its incompetence. Not a week goes by without all our specials going to one DO and half our mech going to another. :sad:

If the last van was 30 minutes late then that just means 30 minutes less time on delivery :hmmmm We all need to start playing RM at their own game, if we're late out then we leave mail behind/cut off as appropriate and just do what they want in our available hours and let the managers deal with all the extra.

If they invoked the 30 min flexibility so as not to pay your OT, when do you get the 30minutes back.
