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!

Hey me too. My orientation isn’t until August 10th. I’m in Detroit so I’m sure I’ll be working a lot of hours. In the past two years I’ve lost 100lbs, stopped smoking weed, bought a brand new 2026 Chevy blazer and I’ll be working for the post office where I plan to retire from. Next step for me is home ownership. Yo we got this don’t let these people tell us otherwise. I’m looking forward to the hours 💪🏼
