A newly introduced P&L in thr rurals ... starting earlier ... finishing later ... still carrying too much on my back (the only loop that's not "trolley exempt" takes 1 hour rather than the 30 minutes that the "planners" say) - plus still being paid for 24 hours rather than the 27.44 that I was 'awarded' two weeks ago.

Modernisation ??? MMMMMMMMMMMM I'm lovin' it
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

And another very unpleasant week, working for this shower of c***s, comes mercifully to an end.
This job, this company, is shite. Utter shite.

Today was bollocks.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

One of the worse days ever. Didn't post my first letter until 10.45, loads of packets then my PDA decides to freeze so I had to write all the tracking numbers on a red slip and scan them when I got back. Didn't finish until 3.30 then when I got back to the office found a note on the frame telling me I have to drive to another office tomorrow that I've never been to before in my own car.
