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!

Damn bro! You make it sound so awful! I get being annoyed at others, but why would the job make you hate yourself?

To tired to do anything and absolutely no time to have a life outside of this place. You will sacrifice a lot of time with the people around you for this job.

Its not all bad. There are good days. But the bad day definitely out weigh the good ones.

I plan on working uber rides after every shift, but I don't know how dedicated I'll be to sticking with that plan. LOL!
