We're supposed to list five things max that is negative to us and then list the positive's to it. Glass is half empty but half full, just drink the water already. So here it is:

1. I get stressed out at the post office. I'm a carrier and none of the customers seem to appreciate the hardships I have to endure to put paper in their box. Don't they remember that I'm delivering their bills, checks and besides ads, other important documents and letters without theft, and in their box, (no matter how many times I drop it on the ground)? Don't they know their pet dogs are the ones attacking me while their at work? Why do they complain about the price of stamps going up, don't they know the factory work, the millions of people, the gazzilion amounts of gas, oil, compenents, hard work and elbow grease that go into that 44 cent stamp? Maybe it should be more like two dollars, like in China, (it will be if the government decides to turn us into our own business like UPS). My job entails the customer safety of you crazy drivers, kids running up to me like the ice cream truck, and tripping over your lawn equipment after eight hours of walking through yards in the wonderful -10 to 90 degree weather, depending on season. On top of that the supervisors will give me seven to eight hours of mail to deliver without calculating drive time to the route and back and somehow if you can get it done in six to seven hours, you've earned a lunch break (which I usually don't get).

Positive - Mainly, I have a job. It pays my Jeep, condo, food enough for Dad and me, as well as a few non-essentials here and there. I've never been bitten by anyone's dog yet. Even though I trip over everything because I'm the best klutz I know, I've only given myself a few bruises and sprains, nothing broken. So what if the customers do hate the post office? I rarely ever see them and usually I can't pinpoint who said something negative about the post office behind my back after I just walked by anyway. The rest of the job tidbits we laugh about to each at the post office and make a joke out of it! Never a dull moment, and usually always have a good laugh with each other, the customers, and even to myself.


2. I might lose my job at the post office by October because they work on a one year basis contract. This is my second year coming to a close, will they want me for more? Two others have been let go already, as well as some regulars getting fired, that's scary.

Positive - My Jeep will be paid off at that time and maybe I can go back to school for my art and something that will help me work elsewhere like accounting. It's like my options will be open again and I'll have the sky to gobble up. It's not the end yet and they may hire me for another year, which I would take.


3. I think I'm getting fat, maybe. You would think with all that walking I would be losing weight, not gaining. I've cut back on all my sugar intake's too.

Positive - I already have a membership to a gym, I just have to start going. (First I need music I can't stand their lezbo songs which is why I left in the first place). . . Anyone have an old ipod or shuffle that they don't want and has the charger?


4. I still think I'm really bad artist. I tend to be incredibly judgemental in everything I do, especially if it's wrong and then I end up wondering why I try.

Positive - At least I don't update DA with all my garbage scraps! No one wants to see practice unless it's to prove progress. Also, I've been getting more and more involved with art both on DA and my personal art as time goes by. I'm really getting into my new pirate story anyway. started it but didn't want it, so she gave it to me. I will give you credit love.
