  I actually start 3 hours from now as a mailman.We had 5 days of new employee orientation then 3 days of Carrier Academy.Its was all paid training and most of the time we were sitting on our asses hey if you want to pay me $19.84 an hour for sitting on my ass....I AM TAKING IT!It did get boring so I became one of the class clowns to keep awake.The only thing I hated about Carrier Academy was we had to be there at 5am so I had to get up about 3:45 but that first hour we get paid 20.99 an hour but everyone was so tired.My classmate Steve would tease me about putting water on my face to keep awake I say "whatever's clever.Turns out we met last year he was a customer at a job I was at last year and he recognized me.But we did learn alot at the academy.

  My main concern are the dogs we carry pepper spray but it doesn't work on German Shepherds,Rotweilers,Pitbulls and all the killer dogs?WHAT THE FUCK?They said it would make them angrier?Dogs like that are too unpredictable and you can't be trained on how to handle it.They just tell you to put your bag in front of but watching videos these dogs can leap 5 feet in the air and are trained to attack the neck.We don't have to deliver if the dog is loose and vicious but maybe I will just rubber band the mail and just throw it in the yard.

  Its alot to learn but the only way I will pick it up is by actually doing it.Teaching it in a classroom can only go so far ya know?
