The "How was your day" thread.

[pahoehoe]

One more day to go and that will be the end of our first week of park and loop ( my frame is an absolute mess, no wings, no room for packets). Apart from Tuesday very busy all week, mad and bored people ordering crap off the net ( do you really need a Spear of Destiny album that you threw away all those years ago, back in the house again?). Going to every door from wednesday onwards, loads of bulk postings and catalogues. Sunny morning, but as soon as I had completed my first loop the skies opened and it hasn't stopped raining.

Office fast approaching meltdown. Another bod went sick today. Packets were not thrown off until after break and even then some were let. Managers throwing walks off as nobody was available. Someone left today after about 5 years service. Don't think we will see many stick it out now.

That's some defeatist attitude you have right there young man
You're either not very good at your job or work in the same office as me see ya Monday N.

I think this is what a failed revision looks like. Trays of walk-sequenced mail not even touched. The IPS benches covered in un-sorted mail. And this at 2pm on a Saturday, at close of play no less. Yorks of packets impose themselves upon the exit doors. Postmen fly in and out of the Delivery Office, not wishing to see the chaos caused by Park & Loop. Some people are cutting off. Other times managers are having to utilise their expertise as stand-in conveyance drivers, rushing backwards and forwards to get one person, then another, out to do overtime - just to finish off the meagre amounts of mail that were thrown in in the morning, so that ostensibly, all streets in the office have had a 'delivery'. The rest of the time management hide away wherever they can find a quiet corner, free of the stresses. One hand in their pocket, the other clinging to the refuge of a cup of tea, or coffee. All the time looking utterly out of their depth.

I've met them.

Chilled out all day.

[pjk]

broke up with female colleague after five years together, this will be my last year at royal mail after 25 years, I just can't stay here with her moving on in life

[heapsy]

Busy as hell. Schools are back and they got loads of post. Only managed to clear half of it. Loads of people on the sick or holidays.

Big big fail for the office today. I knew it was going to be bad when I walked in this morning to find an OPG & LM screaming abuse at each other

That is very unprofessional. Wouldn't happen in my DO.

Shocker for a monday, mails gone through the roof yet were still staffed as though its quiet time (when was that i think i missed it this year). Managers running round begging people to do overtime so the savings made on not been staffed up properly are been spent on the delivery side. I cut off and still finished 30mins over and once again congratulations to the Union for the 6 door to doors i have to take this week, well worth striking for

Strange day today REALLY easy,hardly any packets, 3 sign fors,big gaps and missed most top floor flats,4 D2D including the dreaded charity bag but nice to have a good one every so often makes the rest of the week easier to cope with.

[IloveMYredTROLLEY!]

Heaviest Monday I can recall since last Xmas and you could easily have thought it was Wednesday by the scale of the workload, the mail for schools and a certain DIY store catologues of various shapes/sizes was unreal. Would have been delivering to nearly teatime if I had not cut off.

[fishtank]

Crap...just like Saturday.
Upside was watching management age like one of those time lapse films.

[BillyPosty]

Heavy! It was like a bad Wednesday today - packets were managable but flats just didn't end. Was a long day.
