Will it be quieter than a normal Tuesday or busier?
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

However busy it will be you can guarantee it will be mismanaged as ever,tracked items all mixed up with normal packets,down to us to be vigilant to spot them as someone not doing there job correctly,the non existent 60/40 arrival split continues not to happen,the wtll on rm tv continues to grate me to the core and doesn’t vreflect one bit my day in my office,the pda actualls gets looked at and sarcastic comments made from the boss,on finishing times etc,and no doubt bit will be van check Tuesday/Wednesday,but don’t find any defects cos we haven’t a spare van,and so it goes on,

That's down to the outward MCs who mix them up, I'm guessing they're doing it because they're short of time and staff. We (inward MCs) get loads of yorks where the large and small Tracked have been mixed together (often for sleeves as well)

Your local MC might have been getting their work in later ever since Network 18, if so the 60/40 split will never happen unless your DO starts at least an hour later

I’m guessing there’ll be some little letters, some big letters, some little packets, some big parcels and maybe some leaflet things. But if you chill out, start on time, take breaks and use the correct equipment maybe things will be A ok.

Today was about a normal Monday level of busyness

Is it too much to hope tomorrow is like a normal Tuesday?

Tomorrow will be dead, followed by carnage the following two days. Usually the way.
