Had to work today only for two hours mind and it does save time on Monday, but still very annoying. Even more annoying I've to do the same next Saturday and do some deliveries Sunday which couldn't suck more balls. The reasons why Sunday deliveries suck balls are legion but mostly 'cause most people are not working, consequently there are more cars in driveways, more children around and a greater likelihood of having to speak to people.
More cars in driveways are bad as I can't then cycle right up to the door, which means I'll have to get off and find somewhere to prop the feckin' bike up, all of which takes precious time.
More children means more pointless questions that for some reason you can never seem to answer to their satisfaction like, ''why are you wearing boots'', ''is that your bike''. More ''do you have post for mikes house'' Em who's mike?? More ''hello postman Pat'' (sorry, that's just not that witty, incidentally even less so from adults) and more renditions of his feckin' song. (I'll give you my theory on him later)
On to the last problem with Sunday deliveries, meeting and therefore having to talk to more people. Firstly, no point sugar coatin' it, I'm a taciturn and a slightly frosty sort of guy, charming banter and witty repartee just aren't part of my programme. So we're just wasting each others time, and because I have to work till all my post is delivered that means you're adding time on to the end of my day dammit. Second I've been up since 6:15 and pretty crabby due to the fours of extra sleep (at least) that I'd usually get on a Sunday that I've now missed out on. Oh yeah I looove days like that.
Saturday, December 9
