Funnily enough, I find that I'm feeling a little ambivalent about it. Yes, I'm glad to be out. I wont have to put up with the craziness that surrounds the job anymore. but on the other hand I am no longer part of that proud band of brothers who call ourselves Posties.
We've been through a lot together these past 22 years. We've stood on picket lines in the wind and rain for what we believe in. We've helped each other out when we've been struggling. We've shared our local knowledge and experience. We've taken the mick out of each other without mercy and without malice. But not any more.
When one door shuts, another door opens. What is going to be through that open door I have no idea. Life is what you make it, I'm not the kind of guy to just sit around and mope. Life goes on.
What I do know however is this: I will always look back on my time in RM with fondness and pride.

im sure he's mocking, going by some of his previous posts he comes across as a complete tool......oh well........AnotherLimey wrote:Yourgremah wrote:stands for Boo Hoo, have i got the wrong end of the stick or are you mocking the guy?
If not i'm sorry as it's easy to get the wrong idea of someones meaning on the internet, if you are on the other hand mocking? well shame on you!
op, good luck with whatever you do, it was my last day for this terrible company yesterday, it feels as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders tbh. onwards and upwards i say..........

What shall we do with our new found free time Thorby? Well, I've had free time for months, but now I have free time without feeling guilty about leaving the house as much!
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?
