It was a long hard slog and just only started my delivery and got thru it only to see a turd in the office awaiting me and was still sat there eating cookies, It was as if I was in a surreal world where things are emitting form me at the time I did not know that It was an illusion and and the power of god had been unleashed for one and all. I decided in my wisdom to listen to a dose of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGW7JghZ3A8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It solved all my problems but Brexit will need far more than this!

Door-to-doors everywhere! As far as the eye can see! Yorks and yorks and yorks of door-to-doors.

Goddamnit, what is this world coming to?

25 to 30 degrees.
Still no sign of the blessed water bottles.

Got moved off frame yesterday to be faced with 2 days of mail today plus a full crate of parcels.

6 hours to deliver the lot. Knackered.

Only put down 1 hr of OT as per manager, ended up being 2.5hrs over time.

Sorry, WTF! Was this what was agreed beforehand? - if so then that's what I would have done and that's it.

Get your rep onto this, they're effectively witholding wages which I'm sure is illegal.

Hot water bottles will be with you in a week or two.

It means you have to turn the engine off and remove the key from the ignition at EVERY delivery point. Also stuff like no breaking the speeding limit, no severe acceleration or braking etc.

80+ times on a rural and the battery, starter motor and the actual key itself won't last very long. I turn my engine off even if I don't have to get out van and can deliver through open window, coz that's what I've been told. I don't pay for repairs so I'm not fussed.

Drug deals on some of the dodgy streets I deliver really get on my tits.

But these two bears making a drug deal is a whole new level of wrong!

Perfect day today. Everything delivered without any issues. And the weather was A-Okay.

I might even do a little dance on this 21st night of September.

A bottle of Bulgarian Shiraz for tea improved my day enormously.

I found out that even when you think RM/My DOM couldn't stoop any lower somehow he finds his way there. RM really does employ the worst of the worst. The most disgusting, amoral, sociopaths.

Another stunningly brilliant performance by me today.

No issues delivering, all D2Ds for this week done, and back to the office an hour early.

But I'm getting paranoid.

The other posties are quietly muttering jealous remarks. I might have to hide my cup of coffee in the mornings otherwise someone's bound to slip some ricin or Novichok into it.

Anyway, rain is expected tomorrow.

This is where a bottle of Bulgarian Shiraz for breakfast can help.
