Usually work it on docket. I restrict myself to just my round though. Not if I'm on long weekend, as I then have more time with my daughter.

Well this was a popular thread :neutral:
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

If I don't work my rest week I turn into a complete slob. Stay in bed as long as I can, do bugger all housework, eat loads of crap and spend most of the day on the Xbox360. An hour before the missis is due home from work I try and do some housework to make it look like I haven't spent all day doing nothing. Never works though, she knows. :oops:
