Lovely day today, s**t loads to sort and prep. Had 8 bags and left 3 in the office for a casual to do. Started delivery at 1100 and finished at 1320, returned to office by 1330 after completing my 5 bags which equate to 2/3's of my walk. Time up and went home.

Quite a few cut offs today, the weather was terrible, cold, wet and blowing a gale :sad:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Today I discovered that the boots that I thought were waterproof, actually aren't.
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?

Got told today by the DOM that only half those who put their names down for coming in on Sunday would be allowed in, so the next thing we get told that if people don't volunteer NOT to come in then nobody would be coming in :nana and the whole office said OK, we won't come in at all :Very Happy 10minutes later (after a phone call from his boss) he announced that everybody who wanted to come in could :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: . I swear that these people are not fit to run a bath let alone a business.

I've spent all week on ADSO ( translation: late lineo's bee-yatch :roll: )and it's turned out better than I imagined, kept nice and warm, drinking loads of tea, clearing the boxes and crown office counters, having a few smokes, going out around lunchtime to make a few late mail drops to bulk firms......f*cking great, even spending a couple of hours in the RoD couldn't take the shine off. But with today being Saturday, with an earlier start, I figured my day would be different & just hoped I wouldn't be out on delivery, and if was out then at least make sure it's one I'd done loads of times, so I might get a few tips.....yeah, I was sh*t out of luck today ( I could fall into a barrel full of tits & still come out sucking my thumb :roll: ), five hours later, I was cold, wet, p*ssed off & still potless.....the only tip I got was "You oughta try walking quicker mate - might warm you up!" ( Laugh? I certainly did when I imagined his nose exploding under my fist :left: :evil/mad )

............and breathe........
