Busy, in fact 2 of us on rural where there's normally 1.
Went over my hours, and it wudda been a nightmare on yer own, probably been totally dark with no street lighting at the end.
Packets and more parcels/packets doing the most "damage", but then...We DO love parcels/packets.

Short day Tuesday, I hope!

I havent seen this at the moment...perhaps the New Year will bring a lovely surprise.
That's because it's a wind up. A well worked revision will not have you finishing at 11.50.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

So much for the fancy new machines, I thought we were meant to get 80% letters sorted!
It's been more like 50% form our MC, and 10% of those the machine get wrong anyway.
Apparently there are not enough bods to operate them!(well that's one excuse).
What a sh*te useless load of middle managers we have, they can't get jobs at any of the TOP UK companies, so we have to have them.

Feeling quite good surprisingly - posties night out last night at a local Wetherspoons and those who made it had a great evening. Not bothered about how busy we might be for the last two days as we have cleared up to date, but a bit concerned about the weather we will be working in for the next two days - serves me right for saying how lucky we'd been up to now !!!
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile

Pissed down upon from a great height for hours, knocked more people out of bed later in the day, I'm guessing sleeping off the affects of Xmas drinkies. Finished a bit early, soaked to the skin.
