Good taste that man! Just been pissing about with this new 'create your own avatar' application so I guess it's working :D In fact I recently showed my impressed 19 yr old nephew (gifted guitarist) the duel for the first time AND finally found the pristine audio of the duel (from a Steve Vai collection) that wasnt on the official soundtrack. But I digress...

As we say down 'ere "****in loaded" today! Ridiculous amounts of mailsort flats just added to an abnormal amount of, well...crap really

. One customer actually counted the flats that went straight into the recycle bin, eleven out of fifteen seperate items. Reassuring to know we're delivering to satisfied customers

.
Personally I'm thankful for my little rural van and the abilty to not carry all of it on my back, phew.
Just remember folks...mail volume is declining!

Kill off day I called it - all the magazines/catalogues I delivered on Wednesday and that were returned as addressee gone away. Along with all the same addressed to council houses that are boarded up or abondende - it took me 20 minutes to do kill offs today.

Also I had a woman from the council asking me where a certain address was. She did not know that the houses she was trying to find was in front of her and were in fact 1 up 1 down flats.

She didn't half look sheepish when I said she was already outside the address. The thing that got me was that it was a council house

It still will not be good for you in the long run if you have time off but are you P/T full time or tempoary?. They can apologise all they want but it still hurt's like hell i know!. And as for the two prick's with no dick's your gaffa's F*CK'EM your health is more important than any job!. A hand is for life a job is a phase we all (some) go through from time to time.
