True, maybe I did. It's easy to fall into a repetitiveness when you are doing the same thing everyday. When work is done, I am more apt to do something recreational instead of writing an entry.
As to why I started writing again, no particular reason. Just some of the same similar feelings I had before--I want to keep a diary of daily events for my own entertainment and for others to enjoy as well. A valid reason to keep writing, to say the least.
So, July 20. That was my last entry. Since then, many things have happened. I gained my own route for a small amount of time--delivered mail on it for five days a week. I say "gained" though because I just lost it to someone with higher seniority than me last week. I am ok with this--it brings back some variety in my work since every day I will be placed on a different route. Still, saying bye for now to some of my favorite customers on the route was sad.
Oh, and it got dark. Real dark. Flipping daylight savings time took into effect earlier this month, thus making darkness come one hour earlier. So now I am rocking a headlight and delivering mail in the dark, if it comes to it. So far it's been alright, just feel a little creepy delivering mail at night to boxes on peoples' porches. Keep on thinking some customer will be like, "Who's dere? I'm gonna grab my gun!" Hasn't happened yet though, phew for that!
Oh and given the cold weather, I have decided to grow out a beard. Having never sported the beard before, I am getting used to it very much so. That being said, I am over nine months in as being a mailman, and though it is stressful sometimes, I still do enjoy the work. Until next time!
