What do you think about?

Post by BillyPosty »

When you're out on your round, no one to talk to, quiet streets etc. what do you think about? It's a long time to be in your own company when out on a round - sometimes it's nice to have quiet but sometimes it's not good to have so much time to think about things. When you know the round and can do it almost on auto what does your mind wander to?

I'm not sure if i can say...it's a family show. :chuckle
The mind does wander though and that's when the miss-deliveries start.
I've seen me replaying arguments with the Dom thinking i should have said this or i wish i had said that...that's when you know it's time to stick the ipod on and stop being so sad.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

You are avoiding answering the question there DGP - the question was "what do you think about" not what do you listen to - I mean I can pretty well guess from the discussions in the naughty room :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

I think about finding new opportunities for the business.
Don't any of you know about Watch and Win?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

you must work in the same office as me. :cuppa
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

Avatricide.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
My BFF Clash
The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
