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

1.30pm finish. Advised 3 parcels, got 30% of my D2D's out, makes it easier for later in the week. Not a bad day at all. I'm on such an unusual round-very heavy, but mostly terraced houses so no gates. I can get 200 houses on a street done in 15mins.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

I wouldn't tell the bosses that because they will give you more to do. What they will leave out of the equation is the fact that you can only carry 16Kgs max in 1st & 2nd bag and that you will need more drop bags and going back & forth to get them costs time.Add to that, sometimes when you get to the drop boxes the bloody things are empty, so your left standing there like a lemon waiting for the driver to arrive. :Sick

Today was crap for a tuesday. Got a rollickin for trying to help the boss out of yesterdays mess, by?....the boss.
Why does Royal mail treat its staff like they are thick and don't know how to do their own walk. I came in early, went out & did some early, packets , regs etc, & never seen so many happy customers in long while.......
It won't happen again!!!!!!! :mad :cfo
