Hi All
What is the Mail forecast for tomorrow? are we going to be up to our eyes in cards and parcels again or are we going to get a brake and the mail volumes in line with a normal Saturday. Don't fancy another 17.30 finish like Thursday!!

Our Mail centre is hammered.
I’m not going past my time just because management wanted to do Christmas on the cheap.
Not my problem.

Last we heard our local MC was overflowing with parcels. I get the impression Amazon hasn't been able to cope so they passed a lot of Parcels onto RM. I am expecting us to be swamped with parcels tomorrow. Seems like less cards this year although it is hard to judge. We will have an extra postie to do just parcels. I hope to finish at a reasonable time but I sort of predict I might end up working in the dark like the past two days.

I will be taking stuff out to take me to my finish time. Anything past that is thier problem. I even heard they want to lapse today but also heard it's going to bad on packets :arrrghhh

It wouldn't matter if the forecast was zero at our place. There was at least a day's worth left behind yesterday to guarantee that today would be busy.

I think I finished at 1530 on Saturday and was the last one back. It was a bit quieter than the previous days. Weather forecast says heavy snow for Wednesday morning so not sure what will happen.
