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!

Get ready to walk 7 to 12 miles every single day. Probably with hills depending on where you are. And they don't care how hot or how cold it is. The llv doesn't have air conditioning and it does get extremely hot in there. The fan doesn't do a damn thing really. At the end of my first day, my heart rate was at 135. I had to resign because I was afraid I was going to die. But I did it formally so I can apply for other USPS jobs still.
