I worked one Christmas season for the U.S. Post Office. I wanted a princess telephone (light-up dial) and baseball tickets. I got both as my parents allowed me to keep all my earnings.
I DID learn that I never, ever wanted to make the U.S. Post Office my life long career: boring, boring, boring dirty work. The pay just wasn't worth it.
Most of the people I worked withat the Post Office seemed pretty miserable to me.
If one cant find a way to make any job at least tolerable...its a shame.
We were meant to enjoy what ere doing..regardless of the work it takes to find something about it TO enjoy.
I enjoyed being a janitor .. a great deal more than I did working at the P.O. simply due to the “community” of the people I worked with and around at either job.
