Hello fellow posties.....is it me or does anyone else drift off into a different world when their manager talks to them using shorthand managerial terms that only other managers could possibly understand.......only to come back to reality when the manager finally stops talking what seems like Mandarin Chinese........Happy Xmas to all posties near and far......
