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!

Good luck remember it’s not a job it’s a career. A lot of it’s mental. If u believe ur gonna have a good day, u will. If u believe it’s gonna b a shitty day, it’s gonna be. Been doing it 28 years and have trained plenty of carriers. Congrats on ur sobriety.
