im a postman here in ireland and it ok. early rise. 5:15 am but early finish 2 (always done a good bit before that) always room for overtime work. idiot proof job really if you have a bit of sense. great in good sunny weather but real crap in crap weather....
funny stories, one that sticks out is when i had a large packet for this dear old woman, she must have been about 90. i knocked the door as the letterbox was too small and when she answeed i unwittingly spewed out "morning hun, sorry to disturb you but the package was to big to fit in your box!!!!" she replied "my god, its been a while since i heard that one!!!" i got embarrased, she nearly had a coronory with the laughter!!!!
on the down side. some folk are total pricks and will try and get u sacked for any reason and that old story about postmen and dogs..... ITS TRUE!!!!!! i used to love dogs til i became a postman, now i hate em, well the biters anyway!!!!!!!
in saying that im sure ups or us post is much more efficently run than "an post" over here. real union vs the management shit!!!
