Our RM Internal TV stated, Saturday, 30th Nov, is seen as being the BUSIEST DAY EVER for Web buying.

Which means...we gonna be Noah Flooded under a few days later.

No change there then?

Spoken to like scum by a manager for leaving packets when I got back, despite informing another manager I was leaving them. Apart from that I had a good day.

Just for a laugh, loaded trays of specials into our empty little Vauxhall van. Then loaded everything else as usual, filling van until doors would hardly close. :nana

My driver partner thought me such a 'wag, oh what a hoot it was, how we laughed ................ well...... I did :whistle

Parcels stacked 6 high, tw*t union rep says we can't kick WCM out and revert back to a system that worked and it's only November.

Stupid day for me. Due to do a 4 four shift with maybe an 1 hours overtime at the end. Get in to be told i'm working at another office 40 mins away. So off i go at 9am and turn up at 9.45, tell the manager there i will be leaving at 12.20 so i can be back for my finish time at 1pm.

By the looks of things he did want me to do a full round but told me just take out the 1st and 2nd class mail. Even with that i still only took out 4 of maybe 6/7 bags as by the time i sorted the pkts and bundled up it was 10.20. Add that to no knowing the area at all and only starting 7 weeks ago i must have only be on delivery for 1hr 30mins. Really just a complete waste.

Nuts today, packets/parcels etc, lots of N/A's meaning the callers office gonna be swamped by Monday eve.

And RM TV saying, its gonna be the Busiest Weekend for Online spending EVER, so lookout later this week, packets/parcels floods of Biblical proportions!

And, as if its not busy enuff, local Council decides to send around there FREE Newspaper, paid for by OUR Taxes, to tell US how Wonderful THEY are. Tossers...this means pouches total stuffed to the gunnels.

Roll on February.
