Accomplishments

When I left the post office, my postmaster had been serving there for 7 years. She told me she seriously considered leaving her position about a year after she took it. It wasn't what she expected it to be. She said I played a huge role in helping her love her job and decide to stay. She was in tears telling me how much she appreciated having me help her navigate some situations with other employees. She said I always knew the right thing to say. Considering the importance of the postal service and the high stress there, this was a huge compliment/accomplishment. She always told my fellow carriers to look to me as an example because I had a nearly perfect delivery record in my time there, along with being extremely efficient. The customers on my route were sad to see me go.
