SHE WENT POSTAL

My Husband, has been a mail carrier for over 13 years now. He, as well as his fellow carriers, go through many ups and downs. From legitimately injuring themselves on the job. To faking an injury, just to get some time off. Carrying mail, is one thing that, I could never do. I tell my Husband that, I could never do his job, even if I tried. Yes... they are paid very well to carry mail. They have sick leave, weeks of vacation, and full benefits. However, consider all of the things that they have to put up with in doing so. My Husband tells me that, it get's harder and harder to carry mail each year.


He means that, the Supervisiors are told from "The Higher Ups" what numbers are to be run on the Mail Carriers. For instance, it should take you so long to case you're route, as well as carry it. If you are either long or short in doing so, they will be sure to tell you. My Husband's favorite Mail Customers are those, who ask "are you sure that's all of my mail?" Thye are actually looking for their Government Assistance check. Yet, I digress. These points were made, in order to prepare you for the News Story that we saw this morning.

Yet another Carrier, in California went crazy. She shot many of her fellow carriers, then turned the gun on herself. My Husband is going to tell his Supervisior about this, sometime this morning.
Meaning that, "if you keep pushing us, with all of these senseless rules and regulations" we might turn on you. Ya'll appreciate your Mail Carriers!
