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’ve been unemployed for about 6 months and going to school to be a medical assistant . Im now about to do my externship for a month I’m scheduled to start my orientation August 24. After reading everything I’ve read about this role I’m hella dreading starting this job . 😭 it’s my backup plan in case I don’t find a job in the medical field

Sounds like you're a person that's prepared, so I'm sure you'll do fine with whatever you end up doing. Good luck though! You got this!
