2.5 hour walk?, or 2.5 hours overtime, you have no right to complain if your walk took you 2.5 hours, and 1.5 hours on tuesday :shock:

Do you have something to tell us bigcol?
All of your posts seem to be saying the same thing....that your delivery is incredibly short compared to the majority on here.
If you have a point to make then feel free to make it...it is after all a public forum.
So....... please do tell us why your delivery is so short bigcol. :neutral:

Lovely day. A bit cooler, but still humid. Finished on time ; but had 17 signed fors.

It's a High Street.

The bonus.... cycling back managed to see a lovely lady ; wearing the shortest skirt i have ever seen.

Some days the job is worthwhile

Busy day for mail. Packets were not as bad as usual. Did a bit of lapsing near the office so I got down to my walk late. Will be claiming an hours docket which I'm sure will upset the Dom. :Very Happy Absolutely boiling, no air, nothing. Shattered at the end.

Not too bad mail wise but just SO humid. :crazy:

It was over 80 deg f in the office as we prepped. Out at 9am and already 21 deg C in the van, by 11am it was up to 26 and with it came the humidity. Had to then do lapsing and got back to office about 13.25 totally whacked and uncomfortably hot. :cry

I just wanted to get finished today. Drove home with the aircon on full blast, which was heaven. :nana

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

Back to work after a short break...
