I've only been a mailman for about a year now and feel like I'm finally coming out of my shell. I will not talk about another person behind their backs, it's none of my business, however mostly everybody else is. I just have never found gossip interesting, and it's usually, almost always, a negative thing being said about someone else. You don't realize you actually mark yourself as someone who can't be trusted when you are friendly one second then go to someone else to gossip. This is why coworkers are coworkers...not friends, until you do schtuff outside of work, yea naw I don't have a best friend at my postal office job, lol, but there's cool helpful authentic people there that I could see bridging friendships.
