My day was as bad as every day for the past month. Getting really peeved with it. :mad :mad Catalogues, brochures, DSA, packets, packets, packets, packets, packets, packets.....................packets, packets...............packets, DSA. To top it all, one of the F/T told me how lucky I was to be on a part-time walk, then drove past me on his way home, almost 2 hours before he was due to finish. Me, 15 minutes over my time. Still, day off tomorrow and the signs are it's going to be even worse.

Busy day with plenty of flats and DSA. The delivery started with a good shower which cleared after 30 minutes or so. The sun came out for the rest of the day until evening. Took about 4hrs 10 to complete and had to pouch 2 recorded items off.

16 Yorks of packets this morning :shock: (you'd think it was Christmas again) plus 8 yorks of flats but the letters weren't too bad (just 3 1/2 trays of letters), it seems to be the same every week :hmmmm lots of packets and flats at the end of the week. Anyway, I finished early so I had to take my time getting back to the office just to be able to finish on time.

Finished on time for once. Pretty easy, lets hope this means saturdays are back to normal, ie the easiest day of the week, after two or three horrendous saturdays, claiming 1 - 2 hrs OT.
