This book is partly truth, partly satire, part bloviating, part blathering, and part opinion. You will be surprised, if you are able to read this book without thinking to yourself, "What the Hell is this crap!" Sadly, much of which you think such a thing is probably the truth. Working at the Post Office for over 28 years has truly made my head turn, more than once or twice! In some cases it is rather disgusting. It is quite crazy, when I started at the USPS back in 1993, my seniority was 776 as a Part Time Flex (PTF) clerk, by the beginning of this writing I was about 70 as a Full Time Regular…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This book is partly truth, partly satire, part bloviating, part blathering, and part opinion. You will be surprised, if you are able to read this book without thinking to yourself, "What the Hell is this crap!" Sadly, much of which you think such a thing is probably the truth. Working at the Post Office for over 28 years has truly made my head turn, more than once or twice! In some cases it is rather disgusting. It is quite crazy, when I started at the USPS back in 1993, my seniority was 776 as a Part Time Flex (PTF) clerk, by the beginning of this writing I was about 70 as a Full Time Regular (FTR) Clerk. Back when I began there were about 1000-1100 Clerks and approximately 600 Mail Handlers; now, as of this writing there are about 600 Clerks and 200-300 Mail Handlers. Automation has a number of affects on manning, just look at your local grocery store where they are fitting in some of those kiosks to self serve and self bag your goods...and they don't even give you a discount for doing their job for them AND they want you to produce a receipt, as well! We each choose our path in life. Some of us go to school then on to a career using the skills we have obtained at college. Others tend to go into some kind of apprenticeship and move onward and upward from there. Then there are people like me. I graduated High School, which was a miracle for me (as I was a horrible student) and I went into the US Air Force. After some disillusionment in the military (approximately 12 years) I left the military. Approximately one year after my exit from the military I was fortunate to land a position at the US Postal Service.

Autorenporträt
I am grateful that you have chosen to read my book. I am Michael Murphy, or M.K. Murphy, and to be quite honest with you...I am no one special, just a lay person making his way through life with more than my fair share of mistakes. To place things in their proper perspective I am not really certain that I have grown up and matured, as my wife keeps reminding me that she cannot take me anywhere! I, like many of you, have been on a very long life journey to figure out exactly what God's purpose was for me and my life. Quite often, it is like anything else I've done...trial and error. Kind of like going on a trip and getting lost and because I am a male type, I am reluctant to stop for directions. And I thank God for all the map apps out there! I am really like any other guy out there who, also by nature, is stubborn in this aspect of life. I liken myself to a grain of sand next to and associated with other grains of sand. Trillions of them laying on the beach and in the depths of the ocean. I am no one special, in any sense. If this is not bad enough, I am unknown and unnamed, and realistically, unrecognizable from any other grain of sand and despite all of this, God knows me, He knows my name and calls me by the same! And along with all of the other grains of sand that surround me. He knitted my inward parts, He protected me in my mother's womb, and He knew me before I was created, even at the foundation of this world...
