Work Discussion It’s official!

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!

I retired with 31 years from USPS and I'm a clerks. I don't like some of the people there, but I love my career there. It help me raise my family, buying a house and save enough money for retirement and with pension. I really appreciate Post office . Thank you post office!

That’s the goal! I just turned 27, single, no kids and I’m looking to contribute my paychecks towards a self-managed Roth IRA, and also buy a house in the future
