I have been chomping at the bit to make another blog post …and unfortunately this one will be a bit short too. I’ve been with my new job at USPS for almost 2 months now and they are working me to death. 😔. The other guy that got hired with me quit the day after we got back to our office from training. Sooo, yeaaaa.
Anyway, I am falling into a sadness, maybe even a depression that I am trying to examine, learn from, etc. I can’t work a job that expects you to have no life. I’d rather live with less than always work. I’m not one of those people who are basically work robots. And the job is all physical, my body hurts from not getting rest and recovery days. When I started, I was told mostly part time, which is what I wanted. I was like, yay I can blog, paint 🎨, work on my spiritual side, etc. I also like taking care of my house and my man (I’m old school) 🤷🏼♀️. Now I don’t even get a week day off to run errands or spend time with my daughter. I have very little energy for what matters and I’m tired of just making it through every day.
Funny thing is , I really like this job. It’s perfect for an introvert… I work mostly alone and my logical side loves the mechanics of mail delivery. I am a bit torn to say the least. I am definitely gonna talk to the supervisor next week, as we have one carrier coming back from vacation. I am really leaning towards quitting if they won’t reduce me to no more than 5 days a week. I could probably go get a doctors note for that but I’m not sure it’s worth it …I have plans and hopes for my life. I’ll talk to you all soon, thank you for listening ♥️
