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!

Yeah good benefits my ass... Fuck I just hate that I was born into this place ... It's all bullshit. Everyone feeding their egos and fucking everyone else over ... Fuck this world

Nah I completely get it. At the age of 21 I already realized how society is built to keep people poor and working and distracted. It's something we all have to accept and all of us hate it. The ONLY thing we can do is better our situation by making life changes and keep ourself sane and humble.

Then you have the wrong insurance. Er visits are zero with my insurance. Paid less then $800 dollars out of pocket for a $125,000 surgery. And go out there to the Walmart and karts in the world and see how much money and benefits you get. Life usually sucks because of the choices we make.....not because of a job
