Thanks for starting this group. I think it will be a great resource for carriers. Tom, PostalProfiles.com

hey George sounds great!

18 months ago. I started dating a letter carrier. Man! I had NO idea how hard you guys have it. I mean in the summer time I would always give my carrier a cold bottled water. To kind of help beat the heat. In the winter time I never paid it any mind cause I was trying to get my hide out of the cold!

But not until I hear this mans daily stories do I really appreciate you all!

I mean the from bugs, to dogs, to heat in the summer and ice/cold and snow in the winter. And the abuse!! The "Where is my check" argument from folks. To the woman coming to the door with no clothes on to greet some carriers. (smile) It's not easy I hear and now see.

So I joined this site just to better understand why my man is always sooo tired and a bit stressed.

He's been a carrier for 20 years (anniversay passed 4 months ago)and while it pays the bills it's not what he expected. But...what can he do?

Can wait to connect and get some feed back from some of you.

Again, I appreciate you and the work you do!
