I know to 2 mistakes I've made this week, both on my last street, 1 got reported so far, heat & fatigue is my excuse

It doesn't matter how much mail, parcels and packets you have on any particular day you only need to work at a reasonable rate, start on time and finish on time.
And if you can NOT complete in your time then see a manager and let them know you will need some taken off.
Leave it in their hands and they can have the headache.
