Explains a lot doesn't it?

So I've known about this for about a month now, but it sort of just hit me today cause a co-worker is retiring Friday; End of September my contract with the post office expires and won't be renewed due to how they're restructuring some of the positions/hours. Union politics vs cost cutting measures, more or less from what I understand. Postmaster said if he could have kept me he would have, which kinda makes it harder. Upside is there is an opening at another office a town over for pretty much the same job, but with more hours and better pay, and options for benefits after 1 year iirr. Haven't applied yet, cause of the downside. Downside is I'd need a car of my own, as I can't carpool to the possible new job. And at the moment I can't quite afford a car. I also don't really like driving, but that's a whole other issue. :rolleyes: Ok, no not liking to drive is a big-ish issue for me. put me as a passenger and 3 out of 5 time I will be out like a light in 15 minutes. And part of me worries that I might doze off behind the wheel. I also don't feel comfortable in the driver's seat. Growing up I was always in the back passenger side seat, so... IDK, it feels weird banging my left arm against the door panel. And the highway scare me. Well exit/entrance ramps to the high way, as my dad's been in two accidents at the ramps cause people weren't watching and plowed into his truck. I'm sounding like a spaz right now. -face palm- |

Oh, I'm not the only one who gets wiped out, from riding in the car? I either sleep, or I arrive feeling like I need to. I also need to stay cool while I'm in the car, or I get motion sickness. Not thrilled with the idea of driving, myself. |

I'm currently driving for a living, so I feel your pain about the highway driving thing. But, what other job prospects do you have at the moment? And are there other options for getting you to and from work? |

I'm in a fairly rural area so pretty much all of them will require driving. -blows a raspberry- No getting around it I need to work some something out and then find something new to do. |

Yuppers. If I had had 2 more hours a week I'd have been good, but I was just under their cut off. Eh, I think the postmaster if the place that is hiring is still the person who hired me in for my current position before she was shuffled away. |

Bwah, I feel like I need a Drink. Not sure if it's a celebratory drink or a 'this sucks' drink. Today was my last day at the post office. Got embarrassed a little with the Good Bye from the postmaster, finished things up, told my successor my tips and tricks, finished up the paper work and was out the door. Did get a nummy banana walnut muffin out of it. So not sure what's next for me on the job front, but I am looking. Mostly cause I really want to upgrade the net connection or baring that enough to keep a car insured and gas in the tank so I can stop in at the Church and mooch a little of that wifi. |
