I really enjoyed the guys I worked with.
I had done factory work and hospital cleaning work before, and letter carriers (not the night mail clerks!) were a blue collar elite.
People joke about it all the time but handling huge sums of money, vital documents and registered/insured mail is a lot of responsibility and doing it well was (and should be) a source of pride in a way that humping Bezos’s crap around is not.
Well said. Agreed 100%.
