How was my day, lets see. Monday - wet, Tuesday - wet, Wednesday - wet. Still tomorrow is meant to be dry, so It'll probably be wet.

Very busy day today. 4 coding boxes instead of the usual 3. Loads of flats. Plenty of packets including 6 recorded deliveries. At least the day was dry and sunny.

Just as bad as yesterday except for less boxes, more manual. Tons of flats. Pretty heavy on the packets. Sun shone bright all day. Oh and here's the best bit, 2 walks lapsed today and tomorrow. There were 20 of us doing 1 walk today. :neutral:

Another really heavy day today......................7 trays of code sorted letters :roll: but the day was dry and bright so it was nice to deliver in plus I got to tell several people the reason behind our upcoming IA :Very Happy (including the woman who thought we still got paid when we where on strike :chuckle ).

Bit of a weird day today,not the norm,but finished on time some how. :cuppa

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It was pretty light today (only 5 code sorted trays) so I got finished bang on time but when I got back into the office I found another 4 trays waiting for tomorrow :shock: so tomorrow looks like having a massive cut off :nervous

Heavy day again. Only had 2 packets I had to knock for and nothing to sign for so I managed to make up quite a bit of time. Loads of flats again.
