Was it Human????

Post by Adamcarter »

My favourite part of today was when I instructed my manager that I would not manage to fit packets into my first bag which was crammed full.

The packets were equivalent to another full bag of mail and 3 were for the same address as were another 2.

The managers reply "You sure can't fit them in, come on now"????

I can't believe how bad things are getting.

In my office it has been heavy since the start of the pressure period but because we have brought in extra resources everything is running pretty smoothly, everything cleared everyday. We also get the MC work transferred down to the DO and that gets cleared daily (have been told that this will last until Friday).
