Hot… 😅
Certainly was, would have been nice to have a spot of AC in the van moving between loops and back to the office but I'll dream on, at least the windows go down.

Went to safeplace a packet and lifted the lid on their little dustbin to then encounter the largest native spider I've ever seen. I saw the light reflecting in all eight eyes. I haven't been this disgusted since a whole bunch of earwigs came wriggling out of the day tab slot a few years ago.

This is why I think that the vast expense of the lockers will never be recouped. RM have overestimated the Great British public’s desire to leave the house.

Mental day today.
Like Tuesdays from 10 years ago. Had a few oversize, but 'normal' packets - including tracked - less than 20!!

Yeah I was sweating after couple hours out, wasn’t that hot here but had a long time off and just getting back into it. Was told our office is going to do the uso reform next week, which nobody else seems to have been made aware of.. oh well worry about it when it happens I guess. Just doing 1st class mail and tracked should be alright.

Easy money! Long as they’re opening the door quickly or have a nice safe place to leave it it’s all good!

What's going on at Glasgow MC? The latter half of this week all our sequenced trays are coming in wrongly labelled. Not that such formalities as prepping a walk really matter anymore, it's just very unusual.
