Christmans Eve I'm hoping we are on Saturday hours, shut Callers at 12.30. I don't fancy hanging on till the normal close time of 7pm as everyone will be out on the piss by then and there will be no buses home.

Someone I am sure would oblige with a lift and a dram or two on Christmas eve? I am actually on leave that week so I won't be going back until January 2nd 2008. Not that I don't thoroughly deserve the holiday, because I do. I am trying to get my wife to buy me a toy to play with until I go back to work, nothing too complicated.

In the spirit of new flexible working practices it has been agreed by the PEC and RM that this year Christmas will be on New Year's Day and that the hours saved will be added to the pension fund arrangements. This will also give RM more time for the delivery of D2D which in the true meaning of Christmas will be one for each day of Christmas plus an extra one for the partridge in the pear tree. These, of course, will be delivered free, the savings being added to colleague share bonuses which will be paid out Easter 2051, except Scotland where it will be in the form of holiday vouchers for a month in Italy.

I think it would probably make sense to put any extra hours into prep at the beginning of the day as we are working late enough already with the start time changes - i.e. up to 90 minutes SA from 04:30 for the christmas pressure period - then all the idiots can come in at 03:30 for their charity hour.

An hour a day is 230 hours a year spread over 46 weeks. Almost six weeks work for no reward. If people feel like working six weeks a year for no reward, why don't they join the Salvation Army, work with the homeless, and do some good? The Postal Parasites of 'management' aren't short of a bob or two, so why work for nothing for them?
