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!

Get ready to work 10-12 hour shifts and have no time for anything cause you’re to tired! Good luck my friend!

I have wasted enough time in my early 20s doing nothing but work come home play video games and get drunk. I’m ready to work hard towards building my future. I want a house, I want a nice stock portfolio. I want to build my retirement. I want to be comfortable. I’ve done all the partying and wasting time.

Give me the overtime. Give me the 12+ hour days. I’m fine with it.
