We have had loads in our office, but we always clear, we have to
We have a perfect record in aviation: we never left one up there.

We love parcels so much in our office we leave them in for a few days when people cut off so we can love them even more.

Very heavy on the parcels this week. Maybe people are getting in early for xmas with strike action looming. Hope so as last xmas it was like being hit with a frickin avalanche! :hmmmm

We're currently clearing parcels 4 out of 6 days, delaying the stuff that can wait Weds & Thurs. Next week may see further delays Mon & Fri but everything will be cleared by the weekend again.
The following week we go on to emotional outbursts, short tempers, loss of perspective and flying off the handle at the slightest provocation :dance

As ours is so small people have to queue outside. We always give them a cheery wave as they stand in the cold and rain. :wave

Leaving parcels for the afternoon driver 3 or 4 days out of 6 every week. In the morning our office looks like an Argos warehouse.

Our callers office has gone to s**t! The guys working in there are having fits because who ever was on the week/day before have cocked it up! Packets are really picking up now, walks aren't being covered! Dom and line manager still think we should carry on lapsing though!
