Damn that guy who created that Postal Creed. Rain, snow, sleet, dark of
night, it is fricking cold. I'd like to wring his neck on those cold mornings and rainy days. Nothing stays dry even the rain gear gets so soaked the mail gets wet. The mailbag fills with water when you open and close it and of course the water does not drain because the bag is waterproof. Thus again wet mail. There are capes that keep this from happening but you can't afford to spend your uniform allowance on a cape when the over charge you for the shoes, shirts and pants. Your lucky to afford a $350 rainsuit, a $180 Jacket and gloves. And that's years ago. Don't know what the prices are now days.

The trouble with working at the post office is that they give you impossible orders. One fine day I delivered my route and they wanted me to deliver packages on someone else's route. I had five packages left and I called in and asked if they wanted me to come back on time or deliver the packages and go into overtime. The station manager answered the phone and said she wanted me to deliver the packages and be back on time. This was totally impossible to do as I had explained but they say such idiotic things. So, I stayed out and delivered the packages and was 20 minutes late getting back. She never said anything. What are you supposed to do when people are so ignorant? You can not do two things at once, it's an either or question. I guess she just did not want to make a decision but leave it up to me. Why is she there and why did I waste my time calling her? We weren't supposed to take cell phones but I took mine for emergencies. You can't always find a phone or a bathroom on your route. Especially on a walking route which I had but used a truck a lot of times.

Attack Of the Mailmam

There were many times when I did just get attacked by dogs and not bitten. So if you ever come home and go to pet your dog and he has an orange sticky substance on him, don't rub your eyes, He probably got the old pepper spray from the Mail Carrier. I had a Rottwieler come running at me for a block in full attack mode, the only thing I had was my spray and a prayer. You had to trust in God that the pepper spray would work, it saved me many times. It had about a 15 to 20 foot range when you could find a full one. They were like gold. It seemed management would hid them from us, until we asked and sometimes, there were none to be had. Management inefficient ways again. The fear was if the spray would keep the dog from biting you. I will never forget walking up on a porch and as I came down there was a dog in the bushes next to the steps. He lunged at me but I was able to spray him for a minute. Days later the owner was outside with the dog on a leash and said what a sweet dog his was and how he would never bite anyone. So I offered my leather gloved hand in friendship as he told me and the dog bit it, not hard enough to break the skin but that's not the point. He said he would not let the dog get out again, but everyday I checked those bushes before I went on the porch and before I came down.

So, the Motto of the Day is: If it has teeth- it will Bite!!!!

One thing I really hated were door slots with dogs behind them. I always knew the dogs could not get me but it is still scary somehow. So, I really loved to deliver to the houses where the dogs would grab the mail and wrestle you for it. I would hold on to it for an extra second or two so that dog really got fired up about that mail and hopefully tore it to shreds. Than hoping that they would put a mail box on the porch so I would not have to open that flap everyday to a vicious, snarling dog in my face. So, if you have a door slot and your dog eats your mail. Consider a catch box inside or a mail box on the porch. Your Carrier might appreciate it.
