I'll eat my hat if resource to workload is skewed so far in OPGs favour on Monday, pretty sure the usual suspects came in on early overtime to do letter/parcel sorting, resulting in everyone getting out very early and finishing delivery early. But not all stayed back to do "stuff" until official home time, once again I feel like a mug for working all my paid hours. :Boo hoo!

Royal Mail are the biggest shower of absolute c***s I've ever worked for. Saturday didn't need to be like it was yesterday. It never does. It never will. That's what Mondays and Tuesdays are for, you f***ing...

Hmmm bulk mailing from Tesco,Virgin and Go Outdoors today so call rate was 90%+,but not to many packets/recordeds/specials so it seemed an OK day.

Good for a Wednesday in fact.
