Wow I'm sure I took the same amount of mail out today as I did Mon, Tue and Wednesday combined - still it was a nice day and will be able to claim 1/2hr overtime.

For the 4th day in a row I've had to leave mail at the office and with the amount of mail I see that's already in for tomorrow I can see it making number 5 :shock: (especially if we're to have a meeting tomorrow to tell us that we're not getting a payrise this year, lots of swearing, shouting and other things may be thrown at the manager.............that's if he even makes the announcement). Still, they say the duty is fine and that nothing needs done to fix it :crazy:

Busy day. Plenty on and lots of long faces in the office. Warm day outside, but dull, started raining about 11.15 and came down steady after that.

day 5 on the duty and yet another cut off :Very Happy , I think that I may be getting the call into the office soon for a chat (everybody else who does the duty can finish, why can't you?) still, that's for the future, as for today, the suns out and I'm not even the slightest bit tired so things can only be good. :Very Happy :Very Happy :Very Happy :Very Happy :Very Happy :Very Happy :Very Happy

Busy as a busy thing thats in a panic because its busy and still No sky Mags, but hey volume is down 10% :whistle so I should get the job done quicker shouldn't I :no no . No call rate is the same so don't try that one.

I keep hearing voices so I've decided to talk to them.

Call rate? Now you should know RM don't believe in this as it does not help there case. :roll:

Not a bad day all in all despite the rain. I even managed to finish on time without the need to cut off.
