Day off today and glad. Really busy on the walk with plenty of packets, especially the smaller jiffy / bag types for the Ebay lovers. Had just over an hour at home then back in to cover the callers office. The usual in there, unable to find packets. This I later discovered was because people had placed them on the wrong shelves. :arrrghhh It died off quite early in there, probably due to the crap weather.

My p&l walker went sick this morning so I had somebody who didn't know the round covering, I had to tell her to stop running everywhere :mad

Long weekend off now :nana

Does every office now have someone who shouts "Ebola" if anyone coughs or sneezes?

Yes, I heard it wasn't great in our office, real shame that. :cuppa Anyway, it wasn't too bad today and only 1 special. Managed to get a bit of overtime on another walk on the other side of town which was pretty easy going.

No it wasn't that bad at all today, had quite a few parcels and 4 specials but it could have been worse. Hopefully tomorrow won't be too bad but you never can tell on a Saturday.

Worryingly easy Monday, easier than 99% Tuesday I've ever worked. I doubt tomorrow will be one of those rare 1%!

Arrived at work this morning about 15 mins early. And probably 90% of staff where already gone. Looked at sign in sheet and some of the P/T staff where in over an hour early. Sometimes I think I work for a different company. :arrrghhh Is it any wonder they don't want to pay us our correct overtime with all these people finishing up to an hour early.

Without wanting to get the drum out and beat it again, as others have done so on this issue elsewhere and in this thread too, but this is why we have issues and problems with the work we do.

Work your hours and to your time. Do the job "by the book" and then management, all the way up the ladder to the top, will start to feel their rings pucker up.
