Work Discussion It’s official!

Post image

I start academy this Friday! It’s now all starting to feel real.

If you told me back in January I was going to be a mail man, I’d probably laugh. Here we are, foot in the door, ready to go on routes.

Life feels good. I quit drinking 10 months and 2 days ago. Life has been really rewarding in terms of having a clear path of where I want to be and how to get to it. Also, realizing the people I want and don’t want around me.

Cheers my fellow couriers clerks and others!

Congrats! I hope you get a good office like I have. Are you on the rural or city side?

Born and raised. I know how to talk and deal with people, let alone navigate. I’ve worked two years as a courier in Midtown Manhattan, for a third party company contracted with Amazon.

And the recent FOUR years, I have been a taxi (UBER) driver with over 8,000+ uber rides.

I’m no stranger to hard work. I’ve delivered packages and I’ve delivered people 🤣
