The 12 Hours Delivery Bonanza

Fuck winter.
Fuck snow.
Fuck slippery road due to said snow.
Fuck the massive amount of Christmas cards being sent out.
Seriously though, being an interim trainee mailman for almost 2 weeks now, winter kicked in and loaded our little country with snow (yay?). Unfortunately it rendered virtually all sidewalks useless because of snow and slipperyness, after which the boss announced we only had to deliver priority mail and the ones that need autographs.
Sensible, it's pretty much their "emergency plan". Yet this left me with a double workload for today, since I couldn't deliver much yesterday because of the snow. Today the roads were messy, but still largely accesible. But yes, 2 days worth of freaking Christmas cards and magazine specials (extra thick, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah).
From 5 in the morning, until 5 in the evening I've been working, spending a whopping 6 hours sorting all the mail, and another six to deliver it all. Luckily I got help (boss asked for reinforcements) doing it all, but it's still a massive load. I had to stop handing out commercial flyers near the end, because it was getting dark. And these post bikes aren't equipped with a light... :<
WTB a hot bath and a backrub.
