Yesterday I took a class to get my vehicle operator's permit for Canada Post. The class covered some interesting material, but what is scheduled for a day could be covered in a couple of hours. (That is, of course, if I would stop talking and asking questions and telling anecdotes.)
Today, I had my driving test. It went quite well. I got stuck in the snow at the side of the road, but that was good. I was able to ask questions and do it with someone watching. That is my biggest fear about driving one of these trucks - getting stuck. I hate being in the way and with a big truck, that is nearly impossible. I know with my car, I try and park where other people can park either in front or behind and I'm not blocking anybody. With this truck, I'll have to learn to just go. If I think I will get stuck, then I'll have to park more in the middle of the road. I will have to try and be arrogant.
I took the training so I can deliver Christmas parcels for overtime. Without the VOP, I wouldn't be allowed to. Eventually, everyone in Canada Post will have their own truck and deliver mail, parcels and pick up the mail in the street letter boxes in one area. Everyone will need a VOP then. I guess I'm just ahead of the curve.
Glad to driving part went well. That would all stress me out don't think I could ever do that sort of work but I'm grateful for people that do. You asked what kind of surgery. I'm having plastic surgery to remove loose skin, I'm having a body lift and thigh lift.
