Are you being serious, 4 hour walking delivery is long enough. Why are you working till nearly 5pm?. And no that's not normal!.

Only just started a couple of weeks. Hard to figure out what is expected. No one tells you anything.

Have you just began ? I remember my first time on a round by myself, I was out until around 4pm, I got paid for it though so I was not to bothered. Anyway couple of month in and I finish usually on time 2pm or earlier 1.30pm very rare I go over time on my round now. So it will get better if you are a newbie

Dry for a change.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Pants... Arrived to masses of mail still on IPS, got out 90 minutes later to deliver on one of the heaviest days in months, latest finishing time on my own walk since Xmas pressure (made up a bit for not being able to claim any o/t yesterday, with an enforced cut-off, not delivering for free).

Got sent to Perth DO at 7.30, driver got lost once in Perth (No map or even address of DO) stopped a postie and asked for directions (lawl), arrived at DO at 9.30. Did the delivery, back at DO for half 1 luckily. Return trip ended up taking longer than expected as well due to not staying on the motorway long enough. Got home at half 3.

I intended to cut off early to get back to my DO on time but a helpful Perth postie gave me a lift over to where my driver was delivering and we helped him finish. Didn't catch his name so he'll forever be known as to us as 'that helpful postie'.

Teamwork, wouldn't find it in my office.

Sent to perth again today. Out of curiosity checked the distance on google maps. 40 miles each way, thats some skive.

Haven't been payed my overtime from working day off last week. That was my drinking money. Going to take piss out of manager tomorrow for not paying my OT.

I could do with a week off the booze anyway tho that might be difficult if I have to do another 80 mile round trip tomorrow. Welp.
