Got a new pc the other day so I've been sorting that out. The other one died on me. :sad: Hence the reason why I've not been posting, and missed most of the chatter about "The Deal". :sad: Now I've got to get my head around Windows 7 and it's like being a newbie all over again. :roll:

Crap day. Parcel crazy plus with the extra from the collasped walks put onto the van ( even though RM say parcels are increasing), ended up 2 hrs over. Not had a problem getting paid for it so far. As soon as there is, will start working to time. Going to tomorrow as i have a docs appt. Just means what i bring back i have to take out on Fri. What joy.Anyone want a personal slave? Might end up with more of a life doing that. :arrrghhh

Got in yesterday to good news/bad news. Good news: my walk has been fully prepped! Bad news: the guy i walked in with's walk isnt so we have to prep his. WE knew it was going to be heavy one today but the LM didnt and he's supposed to have the forecast.

Im sure we p/t are supposed to come in, prep packets, do kill offs, bundle and bag then go, its yet to happen EVER. Agree to do some overtime and by the time thats sorted its getting on for 11:00. Big packet day, Sky mags, every sack filled to brim and even though i get to my 1st pick up going on for 12 its not there. Finished dead late and utterly knackered.

Supposedly starting next week p/t staff are to walk in to the office to be met with EVERYTHING prepped, bundled and bagged but we p/t are to do any lapsing. Seeing as the current prepping cant be done i have no f*cking idea how this is supposed to work. Keep yous updated. Oh the joy of not knowing what the hell youre walking in to on a daily basis.

It was cold.
It snowed.

Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
