Sorry SJ, my everytime I look at those 'wasp stings' I get completely distracted

If it's not your aftershave (60% of the time it works, every time. ) then it must your previous life as a wasp stomper

How can your deodarant and shower gel last 5 years?
Maybe they are both empty?

About average yesterday, with lapsing tagged on the end. Shattered and very hot and tired when I got in. Had a quiet day off today.

I would like to give a big hand to the NIMC, for a complete balls they created today and I would hope that all the affected DOs contra charge them for all the extra hours that it cost no have NO walk sorted mail.

On a plus, it was like the old days with everyone on IPS (well those FTers left), which was quite nice

We got absolutely hammered today. IPS until 8.45 and still not completed. Everyone started leaving after 11.00. When I finish I heard there were 11 uncovered duties and 44 potential cut offs. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow

Heavy day today, did two whole walks, finished at 4.15pm. Didn't do too bad really considering that it was, as I said, heavy today. I hated myself for saying yes to a whole 'nother walk when I saw how bad it was, but I was 'on it' today and I blitzed both walks. I usually dawdle but when you're on a long day like that it pays to have speed and stamina.

Thurs & Fri, two absoutely knackering days. I feel like I've aged 20 years.
Still, I comforted myself with the thought of Mark Higson's working day. How he must have sweated buckets as he reached into his briefcase and pulled out his prawn sandwiches that his dutiful boyfriend prepared for him that morning.
How he must have nearly done his back in, as he picked up his copy of the Torygraph off the bogroom floor after he'd let it slip in trap No.3...........Well, it didn't comfort me that much, if I'm honest.

Imagine him (and the rest of the board) being victims of Jigsaw

I'm going to play a game

Pretty average day in all. I'm sick of doing some of these half walks as it only drives the point home that MY WALK IS MUCH HARDER THAN SOME OF THE OTHERS. There are, obviously, worse ones, but a few folk in our office have it seriously easy.

Brought back half my walk back yesterday after not posting my first letter until 12.10pm! Day off today luckily. God knows what awaits me tomorrow.

I know it can drive you mad if you let it. The guy that works next to me has a van delivery which is 1hr.30min less than mine and yet gets paid an hours SA overtime each day for dropping off 4 bags on the way out to his delivery.

I try really hard not to think about it and just get on with my own work
