Yes its been very light so we should have no complaints about absorbing, the more work we get the better for everyone.

Yes in the next few days when you get hit with all sorts and are shagged, don't complain. Also when they come for more hours. :arrrghhh

Not sure I would agree with that statement. It usually doesn't stay quiet for that long before the business picks up.

In a block of 22 flats I had mail for 2 addresses.
And 5 sets of D2D for everyone.
1 small packet.
1 letter
110 leaflets.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

People usually start buying tat again just before their salary arrives in the bank at the end of the month.

Quiet weeks just mean I can get done on time and probably take lapsing. Slightly above this traffic and I'm failing or late. How folk get done hours early I don't know.

They're actually offering part timers increased hours in my D.O. at the moment, seems odd considering we've been double lapsing all January.
