Nearly Friday...!!!

..............Ok it's Thursday and technically half way through my week!

Been a busy week actually what with parcel's for mother's day and easter coming up one is rushed off ones feet.

I was asked to cover someone else's postcode over the weekend but I'm so busy outside of work that I do not at this point in time have time to do another postcode...........sorry! Plus the person in question kept screwing me over with Xmas last year I really cannot be arsed to be quite frank

I'm NOT the Escape Goat!!!

I just do not get it why people feel the need to hurl abuse at me on a daily basis????????? I'm just the courier that deliver's your parcel not a PUNCH BAG that you can verbally attack. IF you have a complaint then use CUSTOMER SERVICES as that is what they are paid for and not me. I do not get paid enough to listen to the utter scum rubbish that is falling from you mouth. Most of the times the issue is with the sender and not the courier service, so please check before you decide to hurl abuse as I WILL PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE!!!

Wage loss.............grrr

Just been informed by said company that our price per parcel is going to be altered.............not a happy bunny!!! I already work long hours for hardly any pay and now they want to take yet more money off us. Apparently there are stupid people in the company that do not understand or get to grips with the current payment structure (I have no problem with this) and because of such people they are making the pay for the 3 different types of parcels we deliver just one price. Which is shit....sorry for my outburst but it just makes me angry that we (the smaller couriers using out own cars) are being crippled even more. I'm tempted to hand in my notice just because I have been treated quite badly the last few months and yet I love love love this job!

Much Better.............

The snozzle has finally healed being that I have now a scar but at least I got lots of sympathy from all my customer's and admiration for continuing to do my work even though said nose was very swollen and sore. The pain of wearing my spare glasses was unbearable but the company who I have a contract with didn't have anyone to cover me so I had no choice.

Also the hospital confirmed that it wasn't broken but I had badly bruised the bone. I have ordered my replacement glasses at a cost of £340 which sadly I'm not insured for by the company as I'm self employed which is a killer. That bill shall be going on my next tax return statement as a cost of the job sadly and no doubt I will again be out of pocket due to it.

People just don't get how hard couriers work for little money, as some days I do not even make the national minimum wage per hour and yet I over the Christmas period will work more than 35hrs a week for a so called part time job. That, if I'm honest is the only time of the year I actually make money but sadly no one seems to want to employ me as I'm deemed  to old at 42yrs. Such is life....
