Hi, busy today, but was a spare, started to prep 2 walks, doing cut offs until someone rang in sick, then had to prep and deliver, was last out, but not last back, still pretty tired!

What a busy day that was, had my most Impressive cut off yet. Got in a 10 and there was literally a handful of letters in the frame and the bench piled high. So got on with throwing it in with a smile on my face as I new I could only work my time as had kids to pick up. I kept being asked if was ok my reply was always the same yes bit need to work to my time. Ok kept being the repsonse. Well it was a s**t busy day and as I don't prep to often it took me till 12:15 by the time I had done packets, kill offs, redirection and bagging up it was 12:55. Went for my break and finally left the office at 13:30 the happiest I've ever left for delivery with only two bags as I left all but two streets as it takes 20 mins to get out, 20 mins back that left only 50 mins to deliver of my duty time.
Thisis what happens when you a management who couldn't organsie a piss up in a brewery. Bring it on more often. Never felt so fresh after a delivery.

yeah totally agree with you, RM trying to squeeze us for every last bit of blood, wouldn't mind but if TNT had to deliver them they would lose money..

Right so RM saying that this week is the busiest week of the year (Monday apparently the busiest day for people sending mail), and they were already caught out by a 13% increase in traffic last week - SOunds like someone does not learn from past mistakes.

Quote from management today 'We don't know what happened yesterday, why we had so much mail and head office don't know either'

and these are the muppets supposed to be in charge
