I can now confirm that previously uncomfirmed reports of VD actually having a job, albeit a tempory one! Shock horror! I shall endevour to keep you all up to date on this shocking story...

gigolo?

I had a dream the other night that Ben got a job. I suppose he'd consider it a nightmare.

nope, i saw with my very own eyes the boy Dan sitting on his arse watching SSN in the canteen of the mail centre at dorcan!

I've been there the last 2 weeks and said hello to you twice you ignorant cunt.

Its hardly shocking that I've got a job. I've only spent 4 months unemployed since I left education.

That's 4 months more than me :(

Your time will come...

I know... i wonder how long i can make my redundancy last?

Not long, arent you going to get screwed out of a couple of years.

Someone told me its written in small print that they only count years of service over the age of 21/22.

Also, if you go to computercentre or whatever then get laid off after 6 months surely then you'd get nothing?

Nope, length of service is being carried over, and the redundancy package is roughly the same. There also dont appear to be any age restrictions according to someone i know in P&D... i'm pinning my hopes on getting a payout should it all go wrong!

Should be tax free as well.

dan you have my most sincere apologies, i shall keep my eyes open for you in the coming days! i've never been unemployed since leaving school either, woop.

Hmmm Mr. C seemed to think it was only years of service after the age of 21 or something. He's been there a year longer than you and reckon he'd only end up with roughly half his yearly salary where as someone who joined the same year as you would and earns less would come out with double because they joined after 21/22

I'll be there for a while.

I started on Thursday and they offered me a full time job on the Saturday. Temping till Saturday then start full time next year.

It'll do, its a living...

What are you actually doing?

Dan, are you working at the Mail Centre? What shifts are you on?

Welcome to Royal Mail!

Hmmmmm, well if i end up losing my job i guess i'll see!

He licks the envelopes that haven't been properly sealed.

6 till 2 - tuesday to saturday at the moment.

Cant be fussy so no away games and straight from work to football but footballs shit anyway.

Sorting mail is piss easy and goes well with my OCD for sorting things, not bad money at all for something a trained animal could probably do.

Although alot of the temps are worse than animals.

Also, people are retards. If a you dont get a letter you are expecting you always blame the post man/royal mail for losing it. You wouldnt believe the amount of people who put no post code on the letter, put the wrong post code on the letter, put no stamp on the latter, put no address on the letter!!!!!!

Yep I know. I had a letter the other day addressed to the bloke with the silver car up the high street.

True story.

ah furry muff fella, welcome to the RM!


The bosses are actually being quite naughty offering the jobs to the temps, they should be advertising the jobs properly, then opening it to the general population.


and i found out tosay that oxford mail centre workers reckon they wont be closing, they seem to think the management will reverse their ideas after spending millions making the uber-mail centre and keep oxford mail centre open.... yea right, keep dreaming scummers...

Did you leave it under his windscreen wiper?

Forgot to say earlier, but nice one Dan. Didn't realise it was full time though, so must be a bonus for you having that security, especially as the economy is only going to get worse in the next year or two.

Oh a fellow sufferer!we must compare obsessions sometime!

You can stick me on the OCD list too. Fucking right angles and even numbers. Never have felt at ease living at number 11.

Think of it as two ones

But two wrong'uns don't make it right.

no mate-I sympathise, OCD is a fucking nightmare

I agree

Mines really not that bad but things have to be in order. They just do.

I went into a book store to look at the James Bond books and they had them, all 14 of them...in order no. I had to re-arrange them all.

Same again James Bond related, I bought the complete box set as then 21 films. In order 1 to 21 you'd think. No they came in 4 sets off 5 with Casino Royale on its own. So set 1 is film 1 to 5 right now. They are all mixed up and random.

Not anymore obviously.

Also volume control with a numeric display has to be set as a 0 or a 5...so 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 etc.

1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 7, 8 , 6, 10, 9.

That'll drive you nuts DV.

> - that's 45 degrees for Sussex.

Happy Christmas!

Another OCD sufferer here.

At work when prepping my delivery walk, all the smallest letters have to be at the front and work backwards in size.

Shouuldn't you put them in house order rather than size order?

That may explain why deliverys take so long

Cruel AXS, you must make allowances for people from Oxon!
