Good little soldier ,no doubt you informed your Dom and he will at this very moment be busy arranging some extra lapsing to fill up your day :chuckle
They day I work to my time i'll let you know - seeing as i've only finished past 1pm about a dozen times in 12 years (on 40+ different walks) I doubt it will be anytime soon :wave
You are without doubt an example to us all. I will do my utmost to live up to your inspiring standards

I'd rather have my attitude and try and enjoy the job, instead of the suicidal sids who can't do anything but moan.

If you no longer like the job then leave, i'm sure someone else would like to have a go.

By the way, you will be working your time very soon ,or it's conduct code or willful delay and you will be down the road :wave :chuckle

Now where have I heard the "Sid" thing before, it's almost like a trademark . Did you all attend the same briefing?

A) I very much doubt it, i've been hearing the same thing since SDD was first mentioned.

B) So what if I have to work to my time eventually, it's what I get paid for. :wave

C) Can you explain exactly why i'll be working to my time very soon?

Finished about 2pm which was just about on the button for me :Very Happy but it was heavy again, 5 trays of pre sorted letters for me again and about 1/2 that of loose mail. All I can say is thank God for the reduction in mail otherwise I really wouldn't be able to cope.

My finishing time on a Saturday is 2pm because I'm on a rural (a 6 hour delivery) but I know that some of the town staff get finished early every Saturday.

Saturday was light packet wise. Mail wasn't too bad, not much live stuff, mainly DSA and MS3. Main problem was getting off the IPS due to too few people available in the first place.
