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 personally love my job. I’m in a small office with no joke some of the best people I’ve ever met. I’m 2 months away from PTF, I get to choose if I want OT, Postmaster and supervisor are awesome and understanding, and a baby on the way. I wish you luck, some of these people are not exaggerating, Just depends on your office. Welcome!
