Yes - she has already said that.

Teebs, you're wasting your time with that one. I'm sure the feeling of superiority he got from it didn't last long. The thing about being a sniper is it's a lonely job out there hiding in the bushes all day hoping for a cheap shot.

To be frank, although I replied to him, the message is really to Brandy.

You boys eh?

I'm guess I'm lucky to be posting in such exalted company, but that aside, quite why anyone would continue to post (negatively) after leaving is a mystery.
Never mind...on with the cutting-off debate.

No it's not. Lord Lucan's whereabouts are a mystery, who actually watches Made in Chelsea is a mystery, how Keith Richards is still alive is a mystery.
This is just a mystery to you, that doesn't really make it noteworthy though. I'm sure many things are a mystery to you.

The clue in why they are is in the posts I quoted so hopefully that mystery is cleared up.

Yes so belt up! We are discussing our incompetent board, yet again.

Yes I miss the posties and the banter,but not the job or the bullying managers. Yes I did say yes but in the end I was made to hate the job I had loved for so many years by the awful managers.

I won't cut off if I'm on a walking delivery but will if on a shared van delivery and my partner wants to.

My partner and I will be cutting off. The finish time in my office is already 3.15pm, so we're not prepared to work until 5-6pm every day for the next 5 weeks, which is the sort of time we'll be looking at.

We've both done circa 25 years now and am starting to feel the aches and strains of these ridiculously large deliveries which are too large even in the Summer. it's also getting dark as we approach our regular finish time so delivery is even more difficult the further we extend. The management are saying the workload is basically ours and It'll be waiting for us the next day....good, We'll leave even more in the following day.

I'm fed up of bailing out these RM conmen at Christmas.

Don't feel so bad it is not your fault you are but a hard working postwoman with ever increasing demands upon you but don't forget you have a start time a finish time and a meal relief in between and good luck and all the best for your fortitude may many more do as you do.
