2nd day off sick this week, got some kind of virus. My throat is killing and keep getting sweats and shivers, really pissed off actually, only been at RM for a little over 3 months and hadnt even been late so was hoping to keep my good record going. Worse thing was i tried ringing in to the DOM this morning and nobody was answering the phone.

Called into the pretend DOM's office today, where the pretend DOM wannabe started shouting and swearing at me. What a way to manage people. I just smiled at him. Everyone hates this guy, a true arsehole.

Idiotic day today - letter for every house from TWO different companies. One of which we delivered no more than two weeks ago. More packets than the rest of the week too.

What a De-moralising way to end the week / start the weekend :mad

Heavy for a Saturday with some awkwards sized packets as well (this despite having a van). Several Recordeds from Renault to houses with a Clio sitting outside.

Got back yesterday to find 6 boxes of D2D for next week, got back today to find another 6 boxes of D"Ds for next week - what a shame that it is my week off :nana

Sun

Spent most of the day (well a good few hours) up in loft putting up this foil bubble wrap stuff. :neutral:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
