It better not be really heavy. If it is I can see a mutiny happening.

I'm not into tomorrow. It will all depend how your office looked before xmas break. If good order it will just be all the m3 for the next few days. It may look busy but suspect it won't be that bad. :crazy:

Was off Xmas Eve so no idea how office was left - I suspect it was possibly cleared, except Sky mags?
Yeah, we are off on Sat (in Scotland)

My guess is that within the next few days there will be a surge in packets going through the system from all the online retailers as people spend vouchers and money they have been given for Christmas.

We'll have all the packets that were left (I'm sure our dearest DOM would blame the weather for this) and at least a york of MS that I saw being wheeled away Christmas Eve.
And according to those that (allegedly) know we will be very quiet this coming week and can do extra absorption (in other words, take out even more than we usually do when absorbing!) they have even stopped people coming in on their day off on the strength of this assumption. I can see the next few days being somewhat entertaining!! I'm sure the usual dickheads will run around and say yes to coming in on their day off to bail them out of the s**t as usual when they realise they've got the figures "a tad wrong". :arrrghhh

I would think we'll be getting 4 days backlog arriving from London Airport as there
wouldn't have been much if anything brought in on the Bank Holidays or Sunday.
