Thurs 4th Dec was the worst day for parcels this year in our office, if not longer. Today 5th Dec was better for parcels but horrendous for mail. Hoping Saturday it might calm down a bit, whole week has been a bit of a challenge! :so there
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Honestly, October 30th was worse. Although I believe that was because a fatal accident on the main road the day before prevented two lorries from the MC reaching us.

Awash with agency right now, so things aren't quite apocalyptic yet. Some duties are still going out which must mean there's plenty of headroom for even more packets.
Any Questions?
Yeah, how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?
