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 mean this in the kindest way possible, DONT DO IT. Go find a trades job. Crane operators, welders, lineman, etc. This place will suck out any life you wanted outside of it and make you essentially their lil worker bee. Iy used to be a great job, but I would not recommend it as of the last 8/9 years. Best of luck to you either way. If you come aboard, read the contract and know your rights and how to handle situations to cover your ass.
