The "How was your day" thread.

Great day off and seemingly it was the busiest day so far

[heapsy]

Day from hell. Unbelievable amount of packets. Freezing cold again.

[maninred]

Extra truck came up, tomorrow could be hell, today ok. Most people out by 7.30am.

Maybe I should just use the same post as I have for the past week.............my office seems to be getting all the packets because according to the management, there aren't as many packets this year

Busiest day of the year so far,i had to use 2 HCT to get my round done today and also had a pouch drop.

Horrible wet day. Loads of cards, packets manageable - mainly recorded and 5 specials. Felt like a real slog to get round, after my first two loops I was completely knackered. First time I've felt like giving in and packing it up for ages

Absolutly horrible day =(

Walk delivery on bike. Got out at 1030am ,then it peed down constant all day =( my legs and feet got soaked!
Finished 330pm. Booked me an hours OT. Towards the end i really was losing the will to live.

WET!!!!!

The first time that I have taken 5 hours. It was a heavy day with packets, but the rain was the killer. Thankfully I wore the waterproof trousers but it did mean I had to faff around getting 739s and the signature sheet out - and that was a soggy mess by the time I got back. My feet were soaked and I am halfway through the soles of the CAT trainers after about 6 weeks. This would have been my last day on my initial 3 month contract (what a way to go) but as it is I have a three day weekend in which to dry out before the madness that will no doubt happen next week.

awful I don't think we should be working in heavy rainy day especially in winter. What do you think ? I think we should just deliver parcels and special delivery on very heavy rainy day and leave letters and cards behind.

Very heavy day, I have only been with RM for a few years and only at one location, we leave the last feed till the next day apart from local SD, Track and parcels, is that a typical practice for the Christmas period. Thats why most deliveries are out by 7.30am.

Busiest day yet this year. 7 trays of mail, 3 packet bags and about 40 parcels. Nightmare.

[thefemalepostie]

Manic in the front counter. Sometimes I wish people had more Christmas cheer though

[monkeymutha]

Lots of grumpiness at my office (not just me!). Very very wet and cold, rained on for three hours. Need decent gloves as the ones RM supply are no good in freezing rain, my fingers were numb. And the waterproof jacket (orange one) wasn't very waterproof which led to wet arms. Volume wise not as heavy as last two days but still a lot to deliver.

was chaos today...poorly managed by a very angry manager....who actually apologised at long last!
booked overtime for the first time this xmas...tomorrow will be fun!

Is this the senario whereby managers call it operational needs, but if you willfully delay the mail you can be sacked ?
