I'm expecting today to go like the last 3 working days, pile of mail to sort when I get in, D2Ds not thrown in/thrown in where they have already been done, unable to find a trolley key because they are never put back, only PDA left is one with a knackered battery, manager pulling a face because I'm having to book overtime. I've never worked in such a disorganised mess. :arrrghhh

At least the sun is shining :Very Happy

First day "flying solo" with my HCT route...

Arrived to see a load of parcels and d2ds needing sorted. (And here was me thinking that as a part timer I should arrive to a fully sorted frame?!?)
Eventually left the office at 10:30, returning back at 4:15pm, almost 2 hours after my walk "finish time" :shock: I did phone office when I was near my route finish time for advice, said I'd be happy to continue....

So, last one out, and last one back.... :roll: No doubt I'll be asked to speed up tomorrow! :neutral:

-- Edit -- After a back of an envelope calculation, I was actually only around 25 minutes over my delivery span! :nana Not bad for a new postie not used to solo delivery with an HCT!

Divide by two vans ... just add letters ... and there you go ...
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

Heaviest day of the year by far.
Been a really bad week but today takes the cake.

Pretty light today. Only a few packets, and less mail. Certainly made the HCT a bit easier to push! :nana

Not too heavy but still didn't get finished on time. These shared van duties are a farce.
