The other office is nearer so works better for me to go there instead! The only reason I haven't transferred is because my office is nicer lol

Went to bed in the early hours of Saturday morning after my night out and a late night session on the computer. Just over three hours later I get a phone call from the LM asking if I wanted to go in for my own duty. Went in, it was freezing cold Saturday. Mail was heavy ish with plenty of DSA.

Really heavy today, lots of letters (including a bulk mailing), lots of flats and lots of packets, it's a good job that volumes are dropping (even the managers in my office have admitted that volumes are up).
