I know the feeling. I was hobbling around yet another 1/3 of a round I've never done before earlier. I felt a complete pr*ck asking 2 people for directions.

Easy day, I was covering a 4 hour duty in a nearby office :Very Happy Had a small victory with the PHG/Manager (it's only a small office) last time I covered it I got the , "It's only a 4 hour duty that's all I can pay you." routine. Today I told him if he wanted the duty done he'd have to pay me for my time. I got 5 hours plus MR :dance
Stick to your guns about your hours worked. Other offices I've worked in the lads said," Fine I'm cutting off at your finishing time and bringing the mail back to finish at the correct time!". That normally causes a stir amoungst the DOMs. You get a bit of sparring for a few days then they say,"OK I'll pay you the excess it takes to finish the job!" I thought that was what Posties were meant to do :wave
