B*stard of a day. They called a load of folk in early to prep what was coming in (council tax). Still half my walk unprepped when i arrived and they knew about it but thought itd be ok if f*ck all was done about it. Going to gouge them for o/t tomorrow.

Terrible, terrible day. Council tax arrived, remaining NHS arrived and we STILL lapsed. It was a bit of a slog by the end of the round :Boo hoo! . On the plus side the packets were not too bad.

s**t and getting worse. Did my back in back in September, ended up having 5 weeks signed of when the pain spread into my leg and bollocks :shock: :shock: Thankfully the pain in the bollocks has stopped but slipped on ice about 4 weeks ago and its gone worse. Been doctors last week and he diagnosed a trapped nerve with a possible slipped disc. So everyday now my day consists of me struggling on my round with the pain getting worse as the day goes on with me limping around the round. Can't have more time off though I'll be on a second warning then :evil/mad :evil/mad (moan over :cuppa )

Didn't do the official damage in september at work, but tried to carry on working but it went worse. The slip 4 weeks ago was while on my round, but I didn't fall. but felt my back jolt and things have just got worse. Told a manager and asked should I put it in the accident book, he said no, cause I didn't fall they call that a "near miss"

Bollox!
Stick it in the accident book ASAP!
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I hurt my back a few years back on a low letterbox and had to take 7 weeks off. :sad: I struggled for 6 months in various stages of pain and i know how your feeling :sad:
I was lucky and mine improved and got better.

Other than going sick you need to try to get some lighter duties indoors or perhaps taking out just half each day. Your GP is your friend as he can sign you onto a few weeks light duties.

Rubbish for a Monday. Two lots of A4 Virgin shite. One of them in those brown envelopes so they're supposed to look official. As usual, hardly any of the addresses could be seen in the window. What a bunch of chancey, useless c**ts, Virgin are.

Two types of Screwfix catalogue, Council Tax and seven signed fors (a record for a Monday).

Pretty easy today, even with an extended WTLL session I got finished right on my time (but didn't do the lapsing they wanted because of it).

Just another "day at the office", as in I worked my hours, I did not finish early and get paid while relaxing in the garden! Lowest letter call rate in a while, but a fair few signatures and attendence call standard packets.
