I served customers daily with all their postal needs. I made daily deposits. I sorted and cased all mail and packages. I had daily scans to perform by certain times. I managed mail carrier employees, set schedules and completed payroll every two weeks. I maintained the building and paid bills. I had a budget for my office. My annual raise was based on my performance. I worked for 26 years. The postal service downsized and they changed my job from a full time postmaster to a part time clerk. They offered me early retirement.
