As soon as 4/26th hit I was dreading the effects of the beloved mail count on my schedule. As expected when I went in to check the schedule for the weekend...I WASN'T ON IT. Ok, I knew this was going to happen. I decided just to try to make the best of it and make plans to enjoy my very first Saturday off in over 8 months. No biggie, I'll just go with the flow.
Saturday rolls around and the phone rings in the early morning hours. "We need you on route such n' such". Okay!, I'll be there! I just found out today, that I'll be working 6 days this week! What?!?!
Since mail count it seems that some of the old timers have decided that NOW is the time to retire. Other RCA's have jumped ship and gone to other offices where there is more "guaranteed work". And lots of the regulars are determined to still get a day off every now and then...go figure.
Too early to tell, but perhaps us RCA's won't be living in cardboard boxes after all. ??
O Yeah, there is some kind of Postal Murphy's law that won't let RCA's have a day off. And when you are sure you are going to be off, just schedule an appointment or plan something really fun. That guarantee's a call in:)
