I have some friends who like to send out “inspirational” chain emails.  I have to wonder what these emails are supposed to accomplish.  I got one today that, as usual, reads like it was written by a preteen still struggling to master the basic rules of grammar and no idea what logic and reasoning might [...]

New Job Update #431

Last Saturday I did route 7 again and was able to complete it on my own and get back to the office by 4 p.m.  Not only that, but I cased it and pulled it down myself as well.  Cool.  Then today I completed route 7 on my own again, this time with coverage (“junk [...]

New Job Update #306

I got called in a little early this morning to do route 7.  Someone else cased it and pulled it down for me.  I just got my accountables (keys and stuff like certified letters) and the DPS mail, loaded up the minivan, and took off.  The mail was mostly light, there was no coverage (advo, [...]

New Job Update #285

It’s Friday morning and I’m going in at 10 a.m., unless the supervisor calls to have me come in earlier, or to take the day off, or to report to a different office in the city.  I worked out of Paradise on Tuesday, on the same route as last week, but this time I had [...]

New Job Update #96

Well the supervisor did put me on route 7, and I did alright until he came out and followed me around.  That freaks me out.  I got help with 3 loops and got back to the office by 5:30 p.m., which is a little late, but not terrible.  Six p.m. is terrible.  Anyway, I go [...]

The Saga Continues

I’ve been busy learning to be a letter carrier.  Yesterday I did a new route (to me) and it was a struggle.  I only did a little over half the loops on my own.  The rest had to be taken by others or I would have been out there till 8 p.m.  I didn’t even [...]

I had the July 4th off and spent the afternoon and evening with friends.  We barbecued and watched a Twilight Zone marathon on the Sci-Fi channel.  I got up early today intending to be at work by 7:15 a.m., since my supervisor told me Tuesday that I would be starting at 7:30 a.m.  But when [...]
