Is every office the same..?/ The guys who are coming in at there time and doin the job properly are all struggling to do the job in the hours allocated now? Most moan like hell bout having to work past there time near every day while 1 or 2 like me have a life outside of the royal fail and leave mail if needed. We end up looking like the bad guys .THree quarters of office now are in an hour b4 there time and out the door miles before everone else ,.So if you do the job right youre knackered nowadays.SWing n roundabouts me erse! God i hate this place now!

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Blokes who rush around in our office get their fingers bitten off, because they don't notice boxes on the outside of a house.

We call him Frodo now :Very Happy

Seriously, there are MUCH WORSE jobs. Not that there aren't many jobs better than being a postman, but bloody hell. It's not that bad. I haven't had another job where I can just put my earphones in and ignore everyone, anyway.

My back and shoulders aren't knackered. You should pack your bags properly. I'm not treated like rubbish either - anyone who treats me like rubbish gets short shrift, be they a manager, a mong, or a member of the public. Some folk take it way too seriously. On the flip-side, there's me who doesn't take it seriously enough, as evidenced by the 'how was your day' thread and what might happen tomorrow, but that's life. I don't worry about it. I value my back, myself, and my personal well being, above anything that Royal Mail might throw at me.
