Anything that doesn't involve walking the streets feeling that your manager thinks you're the lowest of the low would be my guess...........shovelling sh1t in hell would be better :wink:

At one office I worked at , a fed-up postie just went awol and buggered off to sunnier climes without telling anyone so they just kept on paying him for 6 months and then got rid of him lol .

Another postie started work at Nine Elms, I heard, and his mate signed him in and out each day for nearly a year before they wondered what it was he actually did and found out he had only ever attended the initial induction week :crazy:

You should find a new job first before you quit this wonderful job :Very Happy , lol. My old man always says its easier to find a job in employment than out of job. Don't know if this is true. In Feb i'll find out if this is true when i start looking for a new job.

Excellent news and WELL DONE on your escape ! I like you been in the business about same time and hate the way we are treated - the sick procedure is a DISGRACE the way we are spoken to is a DISGRACE and the job now etc etc is a DISGRACE and I don't understand WHY it had come to this ?????? Go stav and Good Luck to you :-) :nana
