It begs the question.

Why are you starting early?
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

I should have said 'before my rota'd start time', i do get paid for all the time, early and late, that i work. Seems they just cant get the all the p/t walks prepped so they ask me to come in early and prep my own, that's another 7 hours a week and comes in handy.

Yeah none for us this week, looks like some will have them for the sake of a day in December (Tuesday 1st instead of Monday I guess)

Busy day Saturday, loads of packets and cards, although the mags were down a bit. Monday we had an easier day than I expected. Even the packets were not as bad as I thought they would be. Ah well, day off tomorrow. :wave

3 d2ds as every week

mail was light (70% call rate)but packets were horrific. Had to knock on 40 doors. Went 10 minutes over which was good as i'd estimated 30 mins before i left. Manager will be very pleased ;liar
