pedantic

adjective

Characterized by a narrow concern for book learning and formal rules, without knowledge or experience of practical matters:

Who me... pedantic...... surely not :shock:
"Today’s workplace has become heartless and soulless. Employees are seen as units of labour, automatons, functionaries, objects for achieving designated tasks, and as costs to be minimised."

If a current delivery day is going to go, Monday will be the prime target for businesses by a country mile. The call rate for my ~125 businesses is way lower on a Monday than any other day, not to mention I tyically get a tiny fraction of my normal number of Recorded or Specials (4 in total, compared to 15-20 on a HCT walk).

Staurdays would be a bad choice for residential, I feel. Its the one day in the week when I'm likely to catch somebody in to receive packets that need a knock on the door... I love the state some people open the door to me at around 0800 on a Saturday morning, "Sorry, did I disturb yiur weekend lie-in?" :left: :chuckle
