It's been a good minute since my last post. This happens from time to time--when I'm done with work, I'm done with a lot of things postal service-related. Writing an entry about my daily occurrences does not hold weight over doing something recreational.
That recreation is nice--I feel I barely get enough time to do fun stuff outside of work anymore. Well I do but then it is only a matter of time before I have to go to bed and start all over again in the morning. That's normal though--it's much better than being a freeloader and barely working/not working at all.
I've been there before--at first, the idea of not working and not having many responsibilities is great, but it gets old. Fast. I can't see how some people can stand it, honestly.
Anyhoo, this last week I was doing a route that averaged 6.5+ miles a day. Yeah, you could walk that distance in about 1.5-2 hours easily, but doing so while delivering mail puts the time on your feet in the 6+ hour range. Talk about tiring! It wasn't a bad route--real hard to get adjusted to at first but I made due. I even met some of the route customers and got on a first-name basis with them and their dogs.
Now I'll be switched to another route tomorrow. It's not bad, though. The variety is nice. It does stink having to leave the people you met on your prior route. But hey, when you get on that route again, it's like seeing old friends which feels pretty nice. That being said, the time in which I do said route again is a little bit--a week to a month or more--but yeah, it's not bad.
The last three days of last week were really cool, too. Like 80 degrees with a cool breeze and little humidity. This week is gonna be in the 90s though. Ouch. I can feel the heat already! I'll survive though--I'll just be highly uncomfortable and shweaty for a while during the week. No new experience for me--though it ain't my favorite feeling, either....
