    Right here.

    Half the people can't read, don't have teeth, wear adult diapers or are from some of the most exotic 3rd world countries. One guy I work with (from some country in the middle of Asia), well, one time I asked him what country he's from and so he told me in his native language.... sounded like some god awful screech by a dying monkey. Now I know better not to ask.

    By the way, us postal workers get ammo discounts on Fridays at most sporting good stores.

    You can sleep on your runs in your truck during the day, but don't get caught. Had a co-worker who would be napping with his mail sack in the front seat and people would knock on his mail truck door and wake him up... he'd get pissed.

    Didn't get fired, though, b/c it's impossible to get fired unless you walk around with your dick out saying 'This spear is for Michelle Obama! God bless!' They just moved him to a different route.

    if you are not a veteran you got no fukkin shot

    the test is not easy

    for the most part the only people that get high enough scores are veterans

    you get 10 points added for that

    the test is very hard

    its not book smarts. its memory. and when i say memory its fukkin rain man sh1t

    and why would you want to be a mailman. they are going out of business

    Bronx, mailmen make 50k a year and don't know how to read. Teeth are not mandatory.

    Your better off applying for a job at UPS......The Post Office is a sinking ship.

    If your hired , don't count on a 40 hour work week.

    The P.O. Is downsizing big time...Mail facilities are being closed all over the country.

    It took it and got a high score
    most of it was "are you too stupid to follow instructions to get the correct answer"
    but one part i was like WTF
    it was hard
    and all though do is walk around to make sure you are not cheating
    I got a high enough score and i'm not a veteran
    But they send you where they need you
    I asked for a small pa college town and they offered fukin Amish land
    how was i going to sell parlay cards on the side to the amish

    I know a guy who threw circulars down the sewer because he didn't feel like walking back to deliver them. He was seen doing this and was fired. This was in the 80's or 90's, don't remember.

    My dad worked for the post office from 65 to 05 and said it went to shit in the 80's. Can you guess what he feels destroyed it?

    Actually, the test is a joke. They give you 90 minutes. I took an old exam today, finished it in 25 minutes and got one question wrong.

    Even if they're going down the tubes, at least you can get some good cash and benefits before they do.
