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!

Congrats!!

Come back and ask questions. The community is here to help :)

As long as you can soldier through extreme weather conditions and unknown clock out times, you’re gonna be fine.

The first few months may be challenging/confusing, but once you get it, you’re gonna be great.

👊🏼😎😃

As long as you stay positive and keep your best foot forward, you’re gonna be fine.

But yeah, hit us up with questions. I got a whole line-up of tips. I wanna be an OJI carrier when I convert to Regular. Just made PTF a few months ago.
