My old job has decided that I should officially be part time and has changed my schedule such that I should only get 30 hours per week. No more insurance through them. The postal job is already talking about training me on other routes and some of the other subs are explaining that once I learn some more routes, that I'll be able to get a lot ( Read more... )

It is amazing how difficult delivering mail is. It seems simple enough on the surface. And it would probably be a breeze if it were not for the fact that people are imperfect creatures and they are the ones that try to address letters or program the computers to do so. So what does it take to be a good mailman? In my opion, you have to love to ( Read more... )

I love my new job. I'm stressing because I'm not living up to my expectations for myself. They keep telling me how well I'm doing, but I know the mistakes I'm making and I beat myself up for them. The 5 years at RPS was enough experience to have a full awareness of my shortcomings. That same experience should make me realize that they are ( Read more... )

I've spent most of my week in Atlanta for orientation for my new job. Tomorrow I get to do my road test at the office I will be serving at and, assuming that I pass, will be in their servitude thereafter. 90 day probationary period prior to permanance, but that aspect doesn't trouble me much. I am extremely tired currently, but also very pleased

Orientation on the 15th

I am now waiting for the employer mentioned (hinted at - 20 page app) to set up an appointment for me to have a physical. Assuming I pass, I will be happily employed to their service. Of course I always fear that the doctors will discover something terribly wrong with me and that my beautiful dream will fade away like fog in the morning sun. I ( Read more... )

Not much in the life news. It continues. Work is there. I'm managing to get some of the sales reps of our vendors that haven't been doing their jobs disciplined/fired. I filled out the longest job application (book) to date (20+ pages). Interview next week. Trying to adapt to my new work enviroment. Spending more time close to the owners has ( Read more... )

Well the job I was most interested in has passed from my grasp. It seems that I have been approached by someone else for a job. Prior to my current job of 12 years, I was working night shift at a convience store chain. They called up and asked if I would be interested in applying for a management position with them. I'll know more next week. It ( Read more... )

Some times I am hit with inspiration and not limited by good sense. Usually the rewards of such experiences are great. Today was such an incident. The look on my lovely wife's face as I reached into my pants and proceeded to rip off my boxers and pull them off over my head w/o removing any other clothing articles was only surpassed by watching ( Read more... )

Went to Atlanta today for a postal exam with USPS. I haven't felt this good about a test since my last IQ test 23 years ago. The SAT's would have been as fun if it wasn't for that irritating English half. Now I get to wait 8 weeks to find out if I really did as great as I think or if I'm suffering from huge delusions. What am I saying? I don't ( Read more... )
