We ran out of work today, got in at 6.40 and the troops were standing around with nowt to do.

The mail centre have devloped a nasty habit of sending the mail as and when they want, thelast van is very incosistent in its arrival time and virtually all the walksorted mail is coming through on the last van half the week and the other half of the week its in the middle vans. Yesterday walksorted mail/last van on time today both are late, proably be the same for the next few days then back to on time.

The mbrs at my D.O are getting very fed up with it!!!

Once can only hope the managers at the mail centre learn the meaning of the word consistent before we do a revision.

bad day.........
ended up as cover at a sub office on a new estate with 7 roads all running off each other and no road names.
Ended up delivering 2 streets completley wrong, bearing in mind the map that was hand drawn for me had the street names wrong....

Quitest tues in ages which meant that even with the dreaded lapsing i had time on my hands to work the old way and stop and spend some time chatting to customers. So i stopped a few times and really enjoyed the relaxed walk around and even when it rained i sat in the van.

Got back to office 12.40am and prob could have knocked the 40 min off that. All managers gone (which suits me) so i prepped a few d2d's as its bound to be busy tommorrow.

Pay back time. Did lapsing too, and the gaffer will be paying for it.

A much cooler day which helped a lot. Not as much as yesterday but still lapsing on top so it seemed no better.

There is talk of canceling the missort run and adding another duty to the absorbtion which would involve taking out a 4/5th of a walk

This will put me over

So that's the reason behind cancelling the mis-sort run! Absorb another duty!!!

Worst day for years

When we got audited a year or so ago we were going beyond the sorting rates required. Today with only 50% sorters available we apparently are no longer up to spec.

Longest IPS since I joined.

Yep this is what they recon. We are down to 6 to a duty now and thats getting tough but if we go down to only 4 were going to be taking out 150 + calls on some duties. Because the mail has been at lighter summer levels ive been getting round ok even with the absorbtion but a forth will take me over.
I just hope others will see sense and not start getting in even earlier to get round.

Our dom just keeps saying "its just an idea" but she,s said this before and it come true
