Easy day for most but not me. We are bringing a revision in and things are not what they should be. Using an HCT and the going is tough. Cannot believe how long it takes to get round, neither can the DOM. Anyway, hopefully things will be sorted out soon.

Another day with the HCT but at least my back has stopped aching. Really busy day which 5 lots of d2d's didn't help even if i only took a row and a half.

Left office 9am and finished 13.50 so 4hr 50min. 27139 steps.

Edit: Oh it rained all day as well :sad:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

OMG! Went in on time to find the walk being BUNDLED!!!! I had to pinch myself as i can count the times that's happened before on 2 fingers. Things went wrong from there on in, 'Oh i didnt know it was you who was covering this walk, its bundled as if youre using a car!' Tried to sort it out and find where the splits were and missed the lapsing van in the meantime. Quick bit of lapsing, return, eventually get the right bundles into the correct bags only to find the driver hasnt got a key to my first pick up box. On top of that he didnt think that there'd be room in the 2nd pick up box as other peeps are using it as 'the other guy uses his car'. Took ages for the bus to my walk to turn up so started late and finished late. The driver was right about space in the second pick up box being limited, an lp that i had been expecting arrived in the d.o this morning all pristine and new was shaped like a f**king wok by the time he'd slammed the box door closed on it a couple of times. F**k my luck.

Some on my duty are getting upset with Virgin especially after last week

1. All week a D2D.
2. Monday to Wednesday- A4 size letters
3. Tuesday and Thursday - small postcard size advert
4. Wednesday - Saturday standard C5 letters

Some poor buggers got something from them every day

Why do they also send stuff to addresses that no longer exist, and have not for a decade in one case :crazy:
Virgin are a nightmare here as well... :shock:

Were not where.
You didn't know there were any left. And you probably don't know where they are.

In 10 mins early to see the lapsing bus leaving already, on its return 20 mins later off we go, stupidly big bit of lapsing later return to find frame prepped but not bundled (quelle surprise!) no d2d prepped and everyf*cker else gone including the driver who drops off my bags. Out at 10:25 with the promise that the bags would be dropped off. 12:15 the bags arrived after i phoned the d.o. on being greeted with an empty pick-up box, except one bag was left on a frame so that screwed any chance of finishing at a decent time. F**ked right off and claiming docket tomorrow.
