Matt... check out the USPS... job kicks major butt. Unfortunately, you have to pass an exam to stay in, but it's pretty gravy.

I thought about that, I would like something full time, I have some school stuff to pay off.

My pops works for the USPS though, and I guess it wouldn't be too bad.

What kind of exam, it can't be that bad!

Depends on what you want to do... the mail carrier/clerk exam had basic memory and word recognition tests. You can find books at the library that give you test examples and help you study.

wow... that sux.

Our problem here is, we have a crappy Postmaster who has given our office a bad reputation. Nobody with a decent work ethic wants to work for him. So, we're a little short-handed, and we have some sloppy workers who managed to stay on simply because we couldn't afford to get rid of them.

Yes, it is harder to fire poor workers then the good ones from the PO for some reason..All they have to do is threaten a law suit and they are back in..Matt, they do hire some "casuals" from time to time..These are the grunts of the PO, they work when ever and where ever the supers. want them too..No set hours or days..Normally only hired during the holidays but it wouldn't hurt to call them and ask..$11 something an hour..No benefits and can be let go at anytime without warning..Hope Fedex works out for you..

Well, they gave me a second interview. Thats cool. Normally they have to wait a week for the upper management to decide and then they give out the second interview, but she gave it to me right there.

Well folks, I must amend my introduction; I no longer work at the sporting goods store in the mall.
Seeing as how Matt's got interviews and the like now, I may have to step into the role as resident slacker. But hopefully not for too long. I don't like being unemployed.

And it's along boring story, you probably don't want to hear it.
