Possibly the wettest day i have had in 5 years of doing this job, from the moment I walked out of the house till I got back home it didnt stop raining, and Im not talking scotch mist Im talking torrential bouncing of the pavement biblical stuff, and those shitty 'waterproof' jackets are worse than useless, you end up piss wet through and sweating your nads of because they dont breathe, apart from that really enjoyed today :Very Happy

Two horrible days on the bounce. Idiotically I went in the gym yesterday and did squats. Legs feel like they're going to fall off today.

I deliver to a gym.
Sometimes the guy at the front desk isn't there so i have to go into the actual gym.
The minute i step in the room the same quote always goes through my head......

I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world.

Average day for a Saturday. Managed to get rid of all 7 recorded items. Rained most of the day and I'm shattered.

They'd probably think the same if they walked into your D.O., mate :wink:.

Might sit down and watch Shawshank tonight as a bit of a Sat'day wind down.

Love that film, wished i saw it at the fliks instead of dvd.

Favourite quote - "get busy living or get busy dying"
Tripitaka: "You should live without fear. There's as much chance of good things as bad things."
Sandy: "It's a cheerful philosophy and I've heard it from people before. They're all dead now."
Monkey "Excuse me when I say, that you really are extraordinarily dim!"

Would have been a great day but for Virgin Media posting. That took up about 90% of the flats I delivered. Only 1 packet bag instead of the usual 2. Night crew were going home as I walked through the door to start my day. :no no
