The plan is that we get the car park clear, line up about 20 industrial waste skips, bring a JCB through the double doors, scoop everything we have left and fill the skips, next week we arrive to a completely clear office - simple! :angel

With the ice packed down on the roads no one wants the extra docket for parcels and packets. Its a open docket "fill your boots" situation and folks including me just want to get home in the warm. No good will really so i cant see it being totally clear christmas eve :d'oh!

No lack of staff at my D.O, no AL for two weeks as per WF agreement gives us 9 extra people.

I imagine we will clear IPS is only lasting 90 mins and Thursday is a long day due to longs and shorts with some paid to 3pm.

They are even offering 2 to a van for packets because of the conditions and still not many takers.

We haven't got any spare staff because the manager thought it woud be a good idea to send them to the main office sorting.
Gets them off our payroll for a few weeks.
Buts its ok cos we don't mind walking about in the snow for 1-2 hours over our time.
