Better day than most of the recent ones. We only left two loops, and were still over one hour.

Worse day ever! Didn't get out until 10.40 and didn't finish until 4.30. Surely it's gotta start winding down next week. :crazy:

left office with only 2.5 hours of duty time left, so no surprise we brought pretty much a whole delivery back.

Probably tempting fate with this post, but went from a 4.20 finish on thursday to a 3 pm finish yesterday to a 2.20 finish today, so hopefully things are winding down :left:

Sat 20th.

Prob no worse than it has been. Total of 4 meched trays and 3 packet bags plus the ips mail. Got out and started just gone 9am. Just felt washout walking around, total flatlined, just wanted to get home and rest. Even a couple of tips did not raise my spirits, had enough
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

I trod in dog s**t.
Unfortunately that was one of the highlights of my day.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Was expecting one of the heaviest Mondays of the year and it turned out to be one of the lightest? Lighter even than a normal Monday, was there some hold up in the mail somewhere? :hmmmm

Steady Monday

But, had a looper who didn't know the round and was very slow throwing in and bundling up. Must have wasted an hour helping him :sad:
