I do make a point to shovel the area in front of my mailbox after luv brought that up several years ago.

Still jealous of postmen.

Have you walked 14 miles in a foot of snow?

Exercise during work should be seen as a benefit. :D

Both ways uphill?

In a row?

My dad does have it easy as far as routes go though. He delivers to several of the medical buildings/clinics/hospitals. And the residential portion is driven. He's paid his dues though. Ice storms and bad winters, dog bites, etc. He's got it made now though.

Exactly

The grass is always greener.

Don't get me wrong Saul, Postal workers do get paid well. But they also have to put up with 4 seasons of weather in most states and have to put up with people bitching about this, that and the other thing.

It would be the benefits and retirement that would make it worthwile for me too. I can work a shitty job inside and get the same benefits and retirement somewhere else. ;)

If you don't appreciate your mail service, maybe you could call and have all of our mail canceled, and request that everyone send you items via parcel service? I wonder if their employees are tested and put through several different background tests? Bowser?

you seem like a bitter guy sometimes.

Dad is three years away. He took 6 weeks off after a recent surgery, and he was fretting about it moving his retirement date back that much longer...lol.

I would like all my items delivered via email.

Just because he's bitter doesn't mean he isn't right. I understand why they get good pay and benefits, but let's not pretend that walking around outside is some kind of tough job.

I honestly think some people are jealous of the Postal Worker.

They do their job and do it efficiently, unlike almost every other government department.

90% of the shit I get is junk. If I could....I'd pay my mail carrier to just throw the shit away before it even hits my mailbox.
