Very VERY little work today, thought that our mail had gone to the wrong office and it'd turn up on mass at missorts... nope just a very light day!

Had to go to the the top of every set of stairs so didn't finish as quickly as the traffic suggested. Am NOT looking forward to tomorrow!

Very light in my office too so I took advantage and delivered a load of D2Ds otherwise I'd have finished over an hour early :shock:

I suppose RM will compare the traffic figures from today with one of the days over Christmas to prove how much the volume of mail is dropping.

Not helped by all those who flew around today and finished hours before their time :roll:

Really light day - For mail and packets. Quietest day I have known in a long long time. Even had time to do overtime as well as my lapsing.

Dreading tomorrow. think there was a bollock dropped today and gonna get rammed tomorrow.



UPDATE

Tomorrow - Which is now today :Very Happy

very very very quiet - Whole round plus half another round on lapsing - 2hr 15. Someone def dropped a bollock somewhere!!!

Back to it after a week off and the legs feel like lead after only 2 days. Rest of the revision seems imminent, but only after a lot of fixing and hole plugging. :hmmmm

A more manageable day with a sensible amount of mail meaning I had time to finish and then prepare tomorrows d2d’s. Did not feel half as whacked as the same time last week. :Very Happy

People going sick all around and jumping on to light duties etc. :hmmmm
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Good day on the whole.

Shame that someone who I got on with quite well in the office went down massively in my estimation though.

Not happy.. rm are crap out managing flow of mail.
I got a load of plants off a customer for my veg patch!
a minor bonus in an otherwise rubbish day.
