Saturday very busy friday was pretty quiet a bit heavy but quiet al the same so it begs the question are they holding mail back until saturday to justify working longer saturdays or am I just over cynical

Thursday was about usual. Heavy but not too much for a long attendance. Friday, had lapsing, so got a bit of docket. Long weekend off now.

A lot of mech letters came in for a Sat :sad: Packets were down though but the extra letters meant a high call rate.

Left office at 8.30am stopped for 10 mins to eat a sarnie and got back at 12.20pm. Pretty ave really
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Brilliant day today, only had 7 smallish mech bundles. Quite a few large parcels though. LM went round weighing a few bags then said 'told you the mail was dropping off' :arrrghhh shame he don't do that on a Weds/Thurs/Fri. Got stuck in the army barracks for a while as the whole regiment were on parade......... i did'nt mind :angel
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

Was ok actually. More letters than yesterday obviously, but a lot of my packets were big buggers which went to the driver.

Heavy day. Went up for my break 15 mins early due to having no more mail available. Came down to find another 2 boxes. Apparently we got 92 boxes in from the mail centre during my break. We are months away from the revision and not much is joined up and making sense. 4 walk sequenced boxes in total plus another walk sorted. Definately caught up from the quiet Tuesday.

PKT-bombed! lots of signatures.
what also spoiled my day was over half of my drops receiving "nectar-points" from Sainsburys.
ensured my drop ratio was high.

Bit busier than yesterday, not by much tho. I got stung with that Nectar crap too. Packets were light-ish today again, maybe the money is running out with my punters waiting for their pay coming in at the end of the month. Glorious weather :coolr
