It seemed quite light today but still had to go to nearly every house. Day off tomorrow :nana
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

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.

It was light again today (that's 2 days in a row so it must be true about the falling volumes) so I finished 10 minutes early :nana .

Election material has still not arrived but we have our agreement, 6.6p each :nana :nana although the manager first said 5.2p to which he was told that if it was that rate we wouldn't be doing them, he immediatley backtracked to the 6.6p :dance (you'd think that he was paying the money out of his own pocket :d'oh! ).

How come you get 6.6 p as our managers told us 3p each. I don't know who set those prices.

Its the result of an agreement from ages ago apparently it was worked out by a certain formula and the offices now get the rate that was worked out then. I have heard of 2 DOs that share a car park 1 of them gets 3p and the other 6p. :crazy:

well people still struggling under the new revision
we still have night shifts coming in
remember those? went away yonks ago and now with our savings they are back :roll: :d'oh! :crazy:

been getting hassle about D2D's this week
we get from 0620 to 0630 to make them up
managers were surprised i couldnt make up 20% of my 900 calls in that time :roll: not to mention all the election stuff
got back to the office late(as usual) to find 8 trays of D2D's/election stuff all made up at my frame
so i dont know if this is the future but its cool for me,of course how im going to deliver all that in 2 days..........................
