Took me just over 4 hours on the round from 9:45 to 2:05. Walked back to the office which incurred 1 hours overtime. Asked for an hours overtime and told that I should have put it down before I went out of the office so he can't/won't do anything about it. Will see another manager who will actually sort it out for me in the morning. Either way I'm getting this overtime, I'm not working for free anymore to save them money.

Well in a way his done quite a good job really as its normally swung the other way and your struggling to finish near the allowed time. I know a lot of time can be saved on compact housing estates where you can cut across calls as Georoute follows all the paths. Got any of these ?

Do you go back to the office when you finish. :hmmmm

Busy day mail wise. Not bad for packets tho. As for lenght of walk, about 4hrs 10. We have walks in our office that can be done in less than 3 hours and others that take about 4. No chance ever of getting them even if you ask me.

An okayish sort of day. I'm glad it were'nt mega heavy otherwise I think I would've keeled over. It was 24c at 10am and by the time I got back to the office it was just touching 29c. Got a spliting headache from the heat so I'm going for a lay down.
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
