# Hoorj!
I was looking for jobs down the local Job Centre earlier (I prefer to use their own touch-screen computers because the software is better than the search engine on their website), and saw Royal Mail temp work. Fuck me, it was a lot of hard work for not much more than minimum wage. For £5.80 an hour I'd at least want a regular schedule, not 'you'll come in when we want you to'. It gave me a lot more respect for what posties have to do.

# That's temps.
In fact, it should give you less respect for what they go through because now you know that the permanent staff have temps to do all the hard work while they have it easy.

# ^ this
My sis is a postie and she works her arse off. And she voted not to strike.
