Much as I expected. Nearly 2 yorks of packets, 22 SDs, loads of Tracked and the missort run.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

Dear Moderator, Can I just make a suggestion?

I think it might be better if the 'How was your day' thread is split up into monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. It might just be easier to read and follow; and it'll be more current. Thanks

Heavy as a really heavy thing, had a fight with the manager because i politely refused to lapse on top of doing Catalogues, D2D, Packets and going to nearly every door on my walk. Needless to say he got a bit pissy because, God forbid, he actually had to do some managing - first he threatened me, then he tried intimidation, after that he tried coming across all sympathetic saying how he understands "how hard a heavy walk can be" and finally he offered overtime. I refused no matter what he tried.

Every manager seems to go through these motions when you explain to them you either just have too much to do to do any extra or don't want overtime, is it standard procedure? Are they actually TRAINED to be like this?
