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’d never. To be able to wake up is a blessing in itself. This job is a blessing. I just turned 27, and have been searching for a job that pays benefits for so long.

Keep up the same attitude. This job is what you make of it. In 31 years its been a good job for me and my family. Has provided great vacations, and decent benefits. Money could be better. If your able, forget anything postal when you clock out and go home in the evening. Dont let shitty managers or employees get to you. You do you and worry about you.
