WTF!?
Probably a case of a postman either not being arsed delivering it all in the afternoon or having something he had to do so going home for his dinner with the mail or leaving it in a box and then going back out to deliver it under cover of darkness.

Still ludicrous mind
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Finished just before 4pm on Thursday. Really heavy day and on top of that, lapsing. Booked the ot rather than cull. Costing them a packet, nearly everyone booking on a lapsing day.

Just busy enough to book half an our. Short attendance today. Expect it will get busier through the week. People off sick and we always seem to be short staffed these days. :roll:

No lapsing today for some reason, i think the b/h backlog took too long to prep, so...
Anyways, out a bit later than most again, bit of hassle with boxes but finished pretty much on time and did a bit of o/t afterwards. Also got a good start on d2d.

Nightmare day, out late and eventually finished 2 hours late (and I still wasn't last back :shock: ), managers still MIA so I suppose every cloud has it's silver lining :nervous .
