Not to worry you but we went over in July August last year and those switch over mailings kept coming for ages - started in Jan IIRC and finished around Sep/Oct. :nervous :nervous

Dead quiet again today - got sent home yesterday as there wasn't enough but today I managed to take 2x hours off some people. A lot have been offered annual leave as they haven't got the hours. It must pick up soon, we've had it like this for a number of days now.

Did'nt seem too heavy today when I was bagging up, not many flats but s**t loads of everything else. Almost every house again and most of them had a least half a dozen letters :arrrghhh . DOM was'nt very happy when I got back and told him we cut off 2 loops. I've not cut off for a long time but did warn the LM that I was having problems with 'the knee' and was'nt sure it would cope today.

I do aswell actually...everything feels kind of surreal when you have the ipod in listening to trance music and the rain coming pouring down lol.

I prefer it when its sunny though, the sun shining down on you as your walking about makes me almost forget im working.

Worst days are the gray cloudy days where theres no sun and no rain. just dull depressing gray :speak to the hand

---Forgot to say it snowed today :shock:
