What's likely to happen? :hmmmm
Depends on how humane your manager is. Whether it turns up or the customer complains (receiver and intended receiver), and what your record is like.

If you are a golden boy you probably safe.
If you keep your head down and just got on with the work - a slapped wrist a note on your permanent record.
If you are an activist or a "trouble maker"- who knows

Whatever you do if the DOM wants to speak take a witness in with you.

It's been a bad week.
One day I had no pen, another no 739 cards.Two days running I lost my priority services card.
Today I had to explain to two different customers why xmas cards posted first class on the 12/12 and 14/12 took over a month to arrive.
And I had a packet posted in USA on 4/12 for a customer who sarcastically remarked it would now make her son's xmas.It was a cheap shot but I blamed the yanks.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

My earliest Saturday for well over a year aswell, out at 8.30 finished 11.45 :shock:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

My Saturday was great as normal, left behind an hours worth of delivery and still just finished in my time - out for 7.15 back for 12.50, hell of a way to run an office.

Saturday was busy again. The end of the week is becoming heavier all the time now. Got out at 9am and finished at 13.30, without a break. There were a few long faces in the office at the news of the talks being extended.

Crikey, I wish the talks would go on forever, for when they end, and the deal they've agreed is put to us, those faces will get longer, and I for one, am not looking forward to that day, I can tell you.
