Got in this morning (Sat) had some help from an agency lad, :nervous :nervous :nervous asked manager if i was getting the £30 training money :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle he said you are not training him he's just helping you deliver what you would leave, :shock: :shock: :shock: so what did i do i gave the lad what i left Friday with Saturdays mail poor lad :silenced :silenced :silenced this was his second day didn't know were the roads were i pointed him in the right direction and off he went :neutral: :neutral: :neutral: when i finished my delivery i didn't see him so he might still be out there :pray :pray :pray and to finish a crap week when i got back to the office it Thundered and poured down what a fitting finish to the 1st week of the new duties. Herendous :cry :cry :cry :cry
Some of my work mates by the end of the week had had enough they started the week off by staying out and booking overtime and by Thursday they were kackered and said bollocks only weeking up to there time now. I have left mail every day and if the manager say to me why you can't get round i will tell him i don't feel well and go home.See if he get the picture

Dont do this otherwise they will get the attendance procedure on you. What you have to do is tell the manager before you start your round that you will not be able to finish it all. As long as you tell him each day. Dont fall into their traps.

I won't be falling into the trap as i have a disability number for a Artifical Hip and after having to deliver and all the hills i had to endure for 4 hours the new hip was burning and the other one was hurting they are aware of my problem
One of my work mates came in the other day said he will be Preping his walk bagging up and going home and thats what he did he had Blisters all over his feet from walking for 4 hours after 25 years of being on a cycle
