Loads on again. 6 recorded items, loads of flats. No utility bills but tons of DSA stuff, begging letters and the like. One and a half bags of packets yet again. (What is going on there then?) Struggled to find people on the IPS. DOM has announced that lapsing will start next week, which sparked a ding dong with the rep. Took 3 hrs 50 mins and I'm knackered.

Wind, rain, sun, hail, sun, rain, wind, downpour, sun, wind, what a f****** day for weather, out for 6 hours with the last one just dragging on and on, I really don't think I can physically cope with this job anymore let alone mentally cope with all the other crap :sad:

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Last letter 3.40. Meant to be 2.10. Went back to office and the lapsing i'd refused was still in frame.

Total pants again. Nearly 2 packets bags again. Pouched off about 8 items. So much for falling mail volumes. :crazy:

Another nightmare today (that's everyday for the past month or so), loads of packets and Sky viewing cards plus the weather couldn't make up it's mind what to do :mad wind, rain, sun etc. (plus I got attacked by a dog.........................the woman opened the door, the dog runs out and jumps up, putting it's foot straight into my balls :shock: doubled up with tears running down my face but strangely it was very funny :chuckle ).

What is pouching off?, See this on the P739 CARDS and have never asked what it means, is it items you return to office? :confused

Due to the Re-ballot, had to work, after half an hr fed up with the amount of people saying aren't you supposed to be on strike, on the upside my delivery borders an area that was on strike, and saw a manager delivering specials who seemed to be lost, he saw me and my van and probably thought I was a manager as well and looked like he was gonna ask for directions until he got close and saw the uniform and did an about turn,obviously didn't wanna hear the words :mfo

Another heavy day, think they threw all the crap at us this morning, only just managed to finish on time. I'm now off until Tuesday, my 1st rota long w/end in nearly a year :dance :dance I was asked if I would like to work my days off, my answer 'You've got more chance of winning the lottery than me working my day off' :left:

Not quite. Pouching off at my place is passing all the undeliverables and form lefts back into the system, either with or without a pouching off bag. I usually leave mine at the local PO.
