Relentlessly wet, driver totally pissed about with the loops and avoided as much trolley use as possible. Less than two weeks into the revision and peeps are ignoring procedures already.

On top of a heavy heavy week ... today was one of those days that - when I'm old(er), grey(er) and crippled - I'll look back on and say "THAT WAS a major contribution" - despite splitting bags (a normal "one bag" became three ( :crazy: ) and another became two - with associated dead walking) ... and the PDA froze twice so was fannying around with full reboots ... txtd lino with my thoughts (!!) and was advised to "chill" - booked an hours docket mind ...

... and it p*ssed it down ...

No van - we're still bag over shoulder up here in the hills ... about to cook steak before eschewing England/Moldova in favour of a long bath ...
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

Different walk ,same s**t. Driver not keen on sticking to procedures, little use of trolley, numbered bundles didn't follow on. It's fine by me if you have found an easier way of sequencing the walk but ffs leave me a plan or get the frame rejigged.

Mine was highly amusing watching the bird brain managers wonder how to deal with all the walks that couldn't be covered. The company is a total shambles. Parcels in my parcel cage have been there since Wednesday and were still there after I finished today(not enough hours in the day to complete my duty). Loads of walks left in the frames not getting delivered till Monday. Wilfull delay on managers part? No it's ok for them to leave mail in the office. What a crock of shite haha
