This is one I did which is supposed to show collapsing. Like I say, I'm not into the right and wrong argument, I'm just doing what I'm paid to do and currently that's drawing some days :-)

Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

You have a real talent.
Don't waste it drawing for this shower of fools.

If we look at your drawing what would its point be from our perspective?

As further involvement on the wcm front happens, its been mentioned that our office is going to make some kind of short film - can I suggest I have this as a quote on a black background first before I turn up? :-)

This has been mentioned at our place too, not very happy about it, what's it meant to prove?
That's already happening at our DO. Apparently it's to see how much movement the sorters make on the IPS and whether the frames can be more ergonomic with the use of golden zones, etc. It's utter crap in my opinion.

Golden Zones next we will be having Golden Showers just another euphemism for being pissed on from a great height.

If they bring a camera near me, I'll tell them to switch it off.
If they say I have no choice but to accept being filmed, I'll be telling them not until I seek legal advice.

We had the crayon drawings at Mount Pleasant MC too. I doubt that anyone ever stopped to look at them, except the WCM Auditors when they visited. We had cardboard cartoon figures on the walls of the stairs to show us how to walk up and down stairs. I'm surprised how we ever managed to do that before. Still I suppose it's better than at Plymouth MDEC where apparently they have motion activated sensors on the stairs which activate a spoken message telling you how to use the stairs! :d'oh!

Here's another I did the other day of the sorting machine in our office. I am enjoying this so much at the moment, purely because the things I am being asked to draw are either challenging, or just things I would never usually sit and draw so it is great experience!

There is never any bands on the lapsed jobs frame and you've missed all the recordeds and packets that people can't be bothered with lying on top of / under the frame!
The bands are the wrong colour, unless it's an old picture, and I can't see last week's Door To Doors still stacked on top of the fitting :shock: - but, apart from that, it's very good. :Very Happy

Looks like you've got a gift for it, too. Ever thought of doing it professionally?

Excellent detail, just wanted to ask, your not Banksy are you :chuckle

Also excellent RM are paying you to draw, please don't take this the wrong way, but wouldn't it have been quicker just taking a picture?

You have a gift, don't waste it :thumbup
