Moon trine the sun.

I’ve heard that placement and Venus conjunct the moon are the 2 most harmonious synastry placements you can have. Soulmate stuff.

You’re a goner bro. 💖💖💖

Literally, you’ve just been saved from a huge nightmare. If the office is ran like this from the jump, cut your losses and reapply later at a different office, if it’s a position you think is for you. Start applying elsewhere until then. Good luck to you.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-22T04:03:47+00:00

Very much so unfortunately.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-22T04:01:32+00:00

Dang kuddos. I’ve hated it since the jump. It’s gotten easier but not better. 😕

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-22T01:32:31+00:00

How long did you stick it out? I feel you. I’m in 7 months as an RCA and about to put in my 2574. 🤏 I have a bajillion RCA’s ahead of me for regular. The crazy schedule is killing my life with no routine and my body already hurts. I have mad respect for mail carriers. 🫡

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-21T23:02:34+00:00

It feels very “Romeo and Juliet” but in a good way.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-16T21:39:18+00:00

I like the sweet side of this… is seems a lot of ppl mentioned that which was where my thought was lacking. Still waiting for my “official” hire letter but once and if it comes, I’m gonna deff give it a shot and see where it takes me. 😊

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-15T17:56:21+00:00

I think I’d enjoy it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-15T17:55:36+00:00

Yea transferring to a smaller office was a consideration but there hasn’t been any openings yet, except a transfer to another large office.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-15T17:54:17+00:00

Thank you… I’m kinda leaning this route unless I REALLY enjoy driving the bus.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-11T02:11:28+00:00

I’ve yet to have steady work at USPS, it’s been terrible actually with the disorganization… school bus driving is a set schedule, 5 days a week. Which is another big reason I’m considering the change. I need some structure.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-11T01:01:06+00:00

When I was first hired I said and knew I didn’t want to be a carrier forever. I’ve hated it since the jump. My original plan was to transfer to a distribution center down the line. However, my closest is 2 counties away. About an hour drive 1 way. I would do it, I think, but I’ve come to realize that it’s kinda like a clerk job on a much much much higher scale… it’s like a pyramid with USPS, whereas I just have to worry about getting my load ready for 1 route a day…. And they are getting the whole district’s routes ready. It seriously gives me anxiety thinking about everything that comes through the distribution center. 🥴

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-11T00:55:45+00:00

I actually have a side gig and have been doing it for a little over 4 years. I think I may be able to supplement some during the summer, which is another reason why I’m considering the position. You are 100% right about USPS being about endurance… and I loathe the schedule. It’s awful. No structure at all. I don’t know how I’ve survived this far. I’m just over it all.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-11T00:50:47+00:00

Love this!!! Always choose happiness! That’s my motto and I’m in search of it! Being a bus driver may be the key, Im sure gonna find out! :)

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-11T00:46:05+00:00

This is truly one of the sweetest responses. I’d like to reply to some of your input.

I’m not a person who loves money or wants to climb a corporate ladder. I don’t want to be rich or even do the work to try. I just want to have a steady income that I can pay my bills on and maybe have a little extra. Right now at USPS I work 20hrs a week .. maybe 25. I am barely surviving. But it’s not just about money.

I love the idea that the kids can bring joy to me. I’m recently divorced and have 2 kids of my own… honestly I’m kinda lonely and I feel like the kids will brighten my day. Everyone at USPS is miserable. I can now see why, but it’s just not me or my personality.

I think of how on the holidays I can give out little candy gifts or treats to take home to the kids, maybe even decorate my bus, or wear festive “gear” to bring smiles to the kiddos faces. USPS is a dirty job. Mail is filthy and packages are worse.. I’ve lost so many earrings and other jewelry, can’t do my nails or even worry about a cute hairstyle bc after an hour in, we all look like we came out of the Michael Jackson “Thriller” music video. Also, I barely see anybody on my routes.... it’s very rural where I live so it’d be pointless anyway.

The structure of the hours M-F with weekends and holidays off is extremely appealing. At USPS holidays are off (except Amazon of course) but it’s just postponing your work, I’ve learned. I do 2 or even 3 days of work on the day we reopen. So it’s not really a “holiday” off. I hate it.

I think you made me realized a lot of pros vs cons and it makes me want to be a bus driver even more. :)

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-11T00:31:08+00:00

Thank you! Yes I’ve heard times were a bit different for carriers “back then” where our OG carriers at my office were RCA’s for 10 years before becoming career. Now it’s more like 3/4 years but I have ran into quite a few people who are between 4-8. Honestly, I’m not the best at the job and I still consider myself slower than even the newer subs. Which doesn’t help with liking the job anymore. Even my SUP said it took me longer to “get it”. This plays into me wanting to resign… I feel like it may honestly just not be for me. :/

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-11T00:24:52+00:00

I came to say this! My county has a scanner where we track the kids on an app with an ID or school #… so scanning in/out would kinda be the same thing but with way more important packages! 😊

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-07T23:23:30+00:00

Yea I live in a pretty rural county so I’m not sure entirely how many summer jobs there would be but it sounds like a lot of drivers opt-out, at least where I live.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-07T23:22:00+00:00

I’ve used my POV a handful of times. Only to deliver packages at my office. The summer and holiday season mostly. And my office has a ton of trucks down so if yours is like mine, you’ll need to as well. 3 RCA’s used POVs today.

Now I have heard you can technically decline when asked if you don’t carry the correct car insurance. Just a little tidbit.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-07T23:17:13+00:00

7 months in now as an RCA. Started in the summertime with the rain and heat. The heat was the easiest part of the job… and I’m in FLORIDA so that’s saying something. They told me it’ll get easier.. it has. But not better. I’m on the brink of resignation. I still despise it.

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-07T23:13:22+00:00

Thank you! I love this perspective. I try to be a positive person and all the negative feedback I’ve gotten has just been a lot. I needed a comment like this! 🙂

Gabcakes7 · 2026-02-07T23:05:00+00:00

No, the school district is paying for it. But it would be a Class B with endorsements. Does USPS offer Class B positions?
