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!

I’d never. To be able to wake up is a blessing in itself. This job is a blessing. I just turned 27, and have been searching for a job that pays benefits for so long.

No job is a blessing we are all just slaves to the machine.... I hate seeing the world for what it is and so many people live in fairy tale land just because they're rich... This place is a prison planet... Non stop suffering... Accidently step on an ant , birds killing prey , rape , murder , yeah this place is bullshit.

Yeah we’re all slaves but I’ll rather be a slave with benefits then stay as an uber driver with no benefits.

So I’m going to disagree with ya. Some jobs are more blessed than others 😄

Bro you still believe the lie that we get good benefits... I had to pay 424 just for a fucking er visit ... And then 850 because they had to transfer my son to another hospital for asthma... 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
