So close to being finished with my post office training! I just have to do my driver's test next Thursday and I'm officially an assistant rural carrier! Which is step one in becoming a full time employee and receiving those sweet, sweet government job bennies. But also, it's a lot of sorting and shit, and tism go brrrrrrrr with that.

#my only concern thus far is i was told yesterday there's a holler in my area where the people will shoot at you if you use their driveway #and then two other homes where you're likely to get shot at #everyone is acting like dogs are the biggest threat #as if I'm not a certified beast master and haven't had to beat up large dogs for attacking my dogs before #I'll take an aggressive dog over a trigger happy hillbilly any day!#they also warned against bees spiders and wasps as if those are even a problem 90% of the time #it's different if you have allergies #but like. wasps just want to see you're not a threat then they stop getting right in your face.#bees don't sting unless they have to #and spiders be chillin #as far as insects go my concern is wheel bugs and assassin bugs because they can carry parasites that k-o you #they also mentioned being aware of bears. but the bears out here are oversized raccoons and run when you raise your voice.#pretty much all the threats boil down to 'have you been outside before? if yes you'll be fine'#they mentioned that you have to piss in the woods on rural routes and the lady leading the class singled me out as being afraid of that #like. you got me wrong girlie. i actually don't mind pissing in the woods and I've gotten great at it over the years.#i have a sticker on my water bottle that says i love peeing outside. and it's not a lie.#there's more a threat of insects on your taint outside. but it's nicer to look at trees while peeing than a wall.#learning my route will also be a challenge because I'm only working Sundays starting out and I'm not from the area #it's also rural so no phone service if i get stuck or need help #but yeah. i think I'm gonna enjoy being outside for work and making a living wage.#the PO I'm at said they'll hire me full time once I've been there long enough to show that I'm a good employee #and they said their people usually only work about 40 hours/wk instead of the standard of 60 because it's a small area compared to others
