Only 3 next week, the busiest week of the year. Normally I'd work over to get the mail cleared, but this makes me think I'll just go home on time.

Why ask that? You are not allowed to do that, you cannot stream types of mail, you deliver everything from a to r then cut off everything from s to z, streaming mail is forbidden and cwu hq want to know about any requests to do it, if it's happening email them and moya it's a no no

As a part-timer who doesn't have to prep. I'd rather have 3/4 D2D's rather than a single D2D. Only have one this week and you have to play origami just to get it in the letterbox. If anything it's more time consuming.

My feelings go out to those unfortunate souls who have to prep double slots. I've done some in the past and having to squeeze two lots of 6 Households into one slot was a bloody nightmare! :arrrghhh

They used to dry up approaching Christmas (which made good common sense as we got busier) but now we're a Private Company I expect we'll be, "Taking full advantage of exploiting any new revenue streams during the build up to the Festive Season"! Talk about Lions led by Donkeys! :crazy:
