>700 letters total in two coded trays and it was not an equal split, it took more than a minute to get any mail out of the fuller tray, never seen such a rammed tray in all my years!

Well not bad. But not great either - still a day is not complete without having a word with the Lino

4 down on sorting and yet they lapse...

Turn up today, only to be told that it's my day off. :roll:
Wouldn't mind so much, but its an hour there and another hour back. Asked why I didn't check the rota as if it was my fault.
Been here 4 weeks and apart from first week have been punted out to other offices so I've never even seen a rota. I did get an apology so I should be grateful I suppose.

Had to cover all the parcels and specials on my buddies walk even though we ended up working alone. He drags his feet something rotten. Late finish on an otherwise quiet day. People flying past on their way back to the office at 12.00. No wonder we are lapsing.

So you are moaning about your partner dragging his feet and moaning about the flyers, blaming them for lapsing? :hmmmm

This job's just crap, as is the company.

Election totals today:
Green Party - 950
Lib Dems - 14.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
