Manic Monday...

Post by fishtank »

Tomorrow,as everybody is aware will be the busiest day of the Christmas pressure period.
As everybody is also aware,the mail has been held back in mailcentres,warehouses and outhouses around the country due to the crappy weather..and it's about to be set free....
Up until a couple of days ago the public have been holding back on posting due to the crappy weather.....

Sit back,relax,safe in the knowledge that finishing time comes along at the same time..and watch your management team fall apart at the seams....it should be a larf. :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle
Good luck everybody....it's my day off. :wave
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I've had three/four days of mail in my fitting every day for the past fortnight, so our management have obviously been testing us :roll:.

Screaming out for nightshift workers as well, after doing one last week and seeing the paltry amount I got paid for it they can shove it sideways!
I've seen managers nervous before SR but i've never before seen the sheer terror that i've witnessed over the last few days.
They know that we haven't had the volume of mail yet that we normally would have...and if it does appear all at once over the next few days...deliveries and processing up here will both grind to a halt because we are struggling to contain what we have and my local M/C is packed out.
I know that other mailcentres are holding mail for Edinburgh and they will need to move that on now so that they can deal with their own stuff so it should be fun and games.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I was the last one out of the office on Saturday because I was the only one who came in on my time - everyone else comes in early for nothing and/or throws off when they come back in the afternoon.

More bad weather (snow/ice) forecast for the end of the week http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ ... html?day=3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; so the s**t is going to hit the fan big time this year.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
