IS IT JUST ME ???

Post by knackeredjointsRUS »

A typical working day :

(a) Prep walk frames with double slots even though the frames weren't meant for it ( apparently when I questioned the planner he informed me that it had been agreed with the CWU that a certain percentage of a frame can be double slotted :hmmmm )
(b) Throw off 6 D2D's even though we were told 2 years ago anything over 5 will be placed in a single envelope. ;liar
(c) Suddenly have to able to prep 2 walks in 3 hours :crazy: ( letters, flats, packets,d2d'S,kill offs, redirections,)
(d) Try and band your bundles up with elastic bands that contain possibly no elastic in them !! anything more than a 2'' stretch and snap you get whipped across your torso.
(e) Leave the building in "storm-proof " jackets that couldn't even keep out fly piss let alone 4.5 hours of torrential rain.
(f) Then have the torture of wearing the supplied footwear...unbelievable, it would be more comfy wearing nothing walking on shattered glass.

These are just some of the things that get on my t*ts on a daily basis obviously the list if I wanted to could go on forever cos quite frankly the jobs on it's arse and the fact is you've all heard it before.

I'm sure he said no more than 30% of the frame can be doubled slotted and that this was agreed with the CWU ...I personally think he was just bull sh*tting. ;liar
