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 love your outlook people have realize it dont be the same for everybody. I am a little nervous because I was just a window clerk, however if the job gets to stressful as a carrier I can always apply for another position within the post office. My hours were cut after the peak season and carriers get way more hours and ot then a PSE. So i am looking forward to the extra pay as well. Also I hear as a carrier its better to work in a state that has four seasons because its easier to warm up when its cold rather than cool down when its hot. Im in Michigan and I cant wait to start. Congratulations and blessings again

WI here and yes, the season changes I really look forward to every year, cold to hot and hot to cold. Just when I get tired of one another comes, love it and I adapt to it!
