The "How was your day" thread.

[heapsy]

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.

Yes, there's a lot that could go wrong along the way. I believe that one of the sticking points has been the lenght of attendance on Saturdays for the delivery staff.

Monday and Tuesday both good. Not bad on packets either. Day off today so I don't know how it was. Parked in works car park while I went shopping today. Nipped in just to have a look at the engineers starting on the installation of the machines, due on line in February.

Very very quiet week. Both packets and letters. Where is all the junk mail ???

In @ 6am, out @ 7.15am, back at 12.00. Not bad as we get paid until 2.30

Just waiting for 100's of yorks of crap to turn up next week to make up for it. Also only 1 D2D this week. WTF ?

EDIT: Re - Saturdays. Usually out by 7.00-7.15 and I if I really hammer it I can get bak by 11.45am. Obviously no breaks.

Strange thing to post in reply to a "How was your day post" is there a hidden message.

Presumably a poor attempt at sarcasm. So poor in fact that I don't understand it!

Care to expand?

Our office got absolutely mullahed today, more flats than we've seen all week, packets all over the shop, but hey, we're working for Royal Mail, we don't wind down as the week goes along, no sireee, our lovely managers stock up on the crap, then send all the shyte out in one hit, and we in consequence get wound up.
This company is bonkers, absolutely bonkers.

[heapsy]

Thursday and today, absolutely rammed with National Trust mags and just about any other flat you can imagine. Packets everywhere.

[BoxCleva]

Busier than last Sat, but still back by 12. Snow meant I missed about a dozen calls, but at least I didn't smash the van again

[eian687]

crap day - snow - sky mags- loads of shite

When you say your out just after 7am dont you have to wait for a sat missort run ??? Ours dont come in to about 8am so no chance of getting out early.

[krussel]

A fairly heavy day for a sat. Just light snow to deal with so i put on my chains and thought i would be ok. Wrong There were patches of solid black ice underneath which you could not see until you stepped on them, i was over within ten mins .
Took it really steady after that but still went flat on back again The second time did hurt some and i am looking at a lovely bruise on my hip madness

Got back to office at about 12.45 but at least the managers got away by ten

[BlueEspresso]

Sky mags today told we had to take everywhere we were going. Out of 10 bundles I only had 8 mags left as I had a 99% call rate. Complained that that was not a fair dispribution of workload as the duty I'm on Monday was very quiet so I have stack loads to do then to! But it fell on deaf ears, even when I reminded them they could not go home until I got back.

[delboy]

Strange week last week, worked my day off so Mon - Thur was really quiet not been that easy for well over a year.
And Friday and today was just silly had more flats Fri then all week and today with sky mags made it the heaviest it's been since the strikes.
