Just under 5 hrs for the walk, plus lapsing. Doing lapsing twice a week now and its taking its toll. Lot of unrest in the office. Office mafia got rid of the rep, so we are in limbo now. :roll:

Yep shittiest day for a long time weather wise, forgot my waterproof trousers so my pants were literally foaming, and the magnum shoes were full of water, apart from that it was reasonably quiet.

Wet, cold, and the 1/6th of d2ds weren't done on my round yesterday. I'm not doing them, as far as I'm concerned it's somebody else's problem. I work five days, I do my five days' worth.

Worst weather in a long time. Rained ALL day. Soaked through when I eventually got home. Mail wise, nothing like it in a long time either. Made worse by the fact that we now seem to be getting off the IPS later than ever, even though we've got walk sequenced mail. Had a brief team talk on the shop floor. All about the revision/changes. Most of it was about what we are NOT likely to get, ie the 1 in 4 Sats. Morale at an all time low if you ask me. :so there

And you would be correct
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
