Unusually light call rate for a Friday and about half the normal packets, but then several yorks of packets were left unsorted and some "non-urgent" letter trays were left untouched, funny how this happened on our final indoor work monitoring day! :hmmmm

Going to be a fun Saturday...

Saturday was one of the worst or one of the best depending on your philosophical bent. A letter for every single council house.

Today I completed what I predicted I was capable of delivering within my contract hours with less than the allotted 15 minutes of duty time assigned to sorting out fails items and missorts at the end. I plan to do the same tomorrow, but with a bigger "window" at the duty end, given Tuedays' reputation for signature items. :neutral:

Fairly light but the story of today will be the final 'breaking in' of my new pair of RM doc martins. The last 20 minutes of my walk almost had me hobbling. Getting them off my feet back at the office was almost as good as great sex.

I feel your pain, I'm also breaking in a pair of DMs. No-one said it would be this hard... actually everyone did.

My maiden post! here goes!
Not long in and a 25hr contract. Hours being lean just now it's back to contract time so need to 2 walk for a few days just to stay still!! Let alone the over time to make ends meet. Night shifts don't throw rounds off and drivers aren't interested in pouch drops that don't suit their schedule. Hey , two walks,light but with a bunch of estates you still have to go up every flight. Clocked out at 6.30pm. Marginally better than being a casual again. The 11.50 finish thing, news to me!
