Hope it's quiet as we were humped today, lots of cut offs and mailsort held back until tomorrow so still looking at a 4.5hrs delivery :Sick Perhaps the manager and his blue eyed boys will have to work past 10.30am to cover our cut offs again. :pray

Just do as much as you can, and leave the rest. If they haven't bothered to get enough staff in to do the job properly, it's their own fault.

What do you worry for, you're paid until a certain time, you work to that time, job done.

I gave up worrying about this job a long time ago.

Aye I did as well and even though I finish later, I am less tired and less stressed - work that one out. :Very Happy

Like any other I suppose - lie in bed watching TV, reading the newspaper with a bacon butty and tea, leisurely bath, perhaps a little shopping, take dog for a walk back in time to watch Liverpool lose midday match :Very Happy
