Welcome to Paradise

Last week was especially long. And hectic. The days after a holiday are always rough--they are similar to Mondays except more people tend to be off of work, thus creating more work for those working that day. You see, people like to take their days off around a holiday to obviously create more time for them to be off work.

Anyways, to make the day rougher, I was put on a route I never did before. Actually, I did deliver on it before but that was before the route got "modified" recently. Therefore, the route was in a sense, a brand new route full of new twists and turns and variations. I made it through that route OK, but I was then given another two hours worth of mail for another route I've never done before.

Long story short I broke my record for longest day worked at the post office--12.5 hours. Yowch!

My shirts aren't getting any cleaner, either. Still all grubby and the like--hopefully I get to order some new uniforms and stuff with my uniform allotment soon!

Oh, and we gotta start at 7:35am on Mondays now instead of 8am. Tis nice, cause in theory we will get home earlier and be less restricted by deadlines. In the past however carriers have started at 7:30am, so why that extra five minutes? Haha, it makes absolutely no sense to me. I'm sure there is some logic behind all of it, but who knows.
