Diary 23rd To 27th November 2019 / myLot

Preston, England

November 27, 2019 11:08am CST

Work hours with the pot office royal mail services continues to be savagely reduced, and Saturday 23rd November became a day off (my contracted hours are 7am to 2pm Tuesday to Saturday. With my income running low I could not get out much but I made a few library visits before this Tuesday and Wednesday again reduced my paid hour down to an 11am finish. (we actually got out at 10.30 am by skipping the unpaid 30 minute morning break. I spend the afternoons and evenings catching up on my writings. Arthur Chappell

@nela13 just not enough work to do - heavy automation plus less people posting mail than in previous years

On topic for the picture, but not the post, I'd like to try to do a 3D printer model of a classic post box. Of course, I need to actually work out how to use the 3D printer properly first.

@arthurchappell They are a cool toy. Sorry, business expense! (Although if I can't get it to work properly, I may have problems justifying it.)
