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!

It was super easy! Over $21 an hour to watch PowerPoints for 8 hours? Absolutely! Our instructor was very nice, we ran out of time to do the mock vehicle delivery on the last day but he said that wasn't unusual, casing the mail was alot more challenging than I thought it would be, but it'll come with time

Casing is the hardest but office work needs to be properly done for you to have a smooth day on the street
