WooooHoooooo! WTH??? I have no idea but I'm taking it!! We are getting our act together at the PO and have a system that is getting us out of there a bit earlier than 11 AM, which is great, especially as today is break fast day and I needed to EAT!!! I have had a great loss this week. No strength training resistance bands workouts, but 3 to 4 hours extra per day of lifting, scanning and throwing packages, no day so far less than 1100 packages! Trotting across the PO hauling multiple 2foot trays of letter mail and tubs of flats...magazines, newspapers, etc. It's really a high intensity workout combined with strength training as many of the packages are really heavy, so I am calling it full compliance with our Just Lift challenge! We have to step lively to get the mail distributed to the carriers so they can sort and load the vehicles and get out to the street early as possible. Right now they are spending the first couple of hours just delivering packages, then returning, loading the mail and head out for the regular delivery routes. This reduces vehicle overload with packages and having to do multiple trips back to the PO to reload, so the other clerk and I divvied up the work-load according to the areas we are strongest in. The DSS (package scanning system) tells me what route to throw the package to so I don't have to keep checking the schemes as I don't know all of the different addresses and which route they go to, so the other clerk has been there a few years and he can quickly sort letters and flats to the proper routes, so he takes care of that while I do the packages. Then we double team the PO Box mail and packages while the PM works the window for the first hour of business. It's working great so far!! As far as my outstanding loss this week....it could be the extra work, it could have been the addition of beans...LOL TMI 😂 but they made for a great colon cleanse! I'm doing the happy dance today!!! 4 more days to Christmas!!! We are kicked into high gear!!! Post Master made noises about another catered Thank you meal for Friday, I requested some type of egg n meat combination as an addition to the fruit and pastries she generally provides, it was seconded by a couple of carriers also, so she said she would see what she could do! That about covers my week so far, ya'll have a fantastic day...I gotta eat!
