When I get home, I'm spent, and my commute isn't that bad. I think I'm about 15 minutes each way. I really can't imagine driving two hours after an 11-hour shift just to eat and come back and do it again.

Yeah, it would be illegal, but since it's in the contract, it's not illegal.

So the sacrifice that you make when you're joining the post office... Well, I guess I should explain. When you join as a letter carrier, the first 90 days, they can fire you for any reason and... You're something called either a CCA or a PTF, and that means part-time flexible or city carrier assistant. You are only guaranteed four hours for showing up for work.

You're not guaranteed to be scheduled. So if they don't like you, they just will schedule you once a week for an unknown amount of time until you quit. And if you're in a busy place, then that just means that they're going to work you to death. So when you join the workforce, immediately you lose time with your family, you lose time with your loved ones and your friends.

And I myself am so fortunate that all my loved ones have been beyond understanding. But every time I talk about it, I get asked the same thing. Why don't you quit? And the truth is, this job is awesome. I love it. I want to work it. I just want it to make sense and be livable. And I'm not going to give up just because... We haven't reached the point where it is.

If you walk away now, it doesn't get better. I'm sure someone would take my place, but it helps to have people stick around.

Right. And so I try and hold that in mind when I've been overworked and I'm at the end of one of my major shifts because I had to carry part of another route because someone else called out. I really have to stop and think to myself that this other person who called out is just as exhausted as I am, is probably going to get a letter of warning for calling out. That's another issue.

They don't want you to use your leave. Jesus Christ. I'm going to file an unfair labor practice because they've been doing that a lot at my office as well. It reminds me a lot, our issues of your recent episode. I think it was you about the nurses union, the shift change episode. Yeah.
