Today was actually really good. Enjoyed it. But the person I was next to was annoying me. And he had a terrible attitude about the work. But I just tried to block him out.

All I had to do was sort the post, which was very easy. Going to be working there again next week. £12.50 an hour next week. Was only £9.80 an hour today. But still its good pay, and not had much money in a while. So will be good to have that money now.

Also got told today that postal strike finishes on wednesday. But wish it had have finished earlier. Girlfriends birthday tomorrow and can’t give her, her present because its coming in the post and has not got here yet. But hopefully will be here by wednesday. Would've looked for it there. But they probably wouldn't had let me!

But all in all enjoyed my day there today, and looking forward to going back.

Just what exactly is the pay rate of a royal mail worker? Thats an astonishing amount of money for a very simply job (one that doesn't need a uni qualification).

If it stays that way i might as well work there. But that said if everyone is going to work with that much money, why are they complaining?

Top tip there, when theres a strike, work through it. Earn lots and lots of money but be frowned upon by your collegues for taking your pay slip and as well as theres.

Thats quite decent pay. Over 100 a day for an 8 hour day. But that said, its probably due to the strike action. Where they desperately need people to work.
