  • Being a Carrier

    Things I don't mind:

    Friendly people, friendly pets, clean and clear access to mailboxes wether the road or house types, people who give two sh*its of the ones who deliver their mail.

    Things I detest:
    The ones who think they are hilarious with the "*blank* enough for ya?", the "Your Late!" People, the ones who have to be all in your business.

    The purpose of this thread? Came into work with managers running about and asking if people are willing to work till 7. With several OT's already have been told to plan on 6. There's grumbling but no one really seems to complain too much.

    But now on the route, that's a different story. The people on this route understand that their regular doesn't do extra unless its his own route while I am open for all types of over time. Well most people understand that, some don't even care. But then you get this lady, I'm sitting in the shade outside of her place which is the starting point for a long loop. I've opened my door, leaned back as much as I can in our jump seats, and have closed my eyes to take a well deserved break, my first of the day. Cue her coming out and asking if I'm ok, sure I say and let her know I'm just taking a break and that I have my phone set in case I snooze. She walks back inside and whose calling me not give minuets later? My boss, of the day, telling me I can't just laze around and if I'm running ahead he does have more I can do.

    So thanks lady instead of even thinking of eating the meager lunch I brought with me to keep my bs up I have to continue on till I finish the route with no stopping because my scans are now being monitored.

    Sounds like a lazy ass that has nothing better to do than fuck with people. Sad to say, a lot of these assholes are in my age group.

      Wow, what a busybody. Maybe she was paranoid you were some kind of unsavory type "casing the joint" so she called to make sure you were supposed to be there or something. Guess now you know not to take breaks in her part of the neighborhood.

          I think she was upset because she couldn't do that on her break. If she can't, then no one around her will be able to without her complaining.

                Oh I am but I have a feeling she made it sound like I had been sitting around for awhile.

                    Hence paranoid. Besides, all the movies show criminal/spy types using civil service vans for surveillance. Yea, stupid I know, but then so is calling your sup over a few minutes break. Probably just a general busybody.
