Today was interesting. I split RR12 with another girl. She did the first half, I did the last half.
Got turned around a few times and confused myself instead of trusting the direction sheet and the flow of the mail.
I started out wrong, though, by thinking I was supposed to start on one road instead of this other one. Once I got it figured out, things went a little smoother.
When I got to the end of my half of the route, I looked and saw I still had a ton of mail. When I looked thru it, I realized it was mostly for the apartments on the route, which the other girl was supposed to do.
I called and was told to just bring it back because I didnt have a key to the CBUs. As I was going down the road delivering what mail I could, I pass the other girl.
I deliver this one box and call again telling the postmaster I just passed her and to call her to come deliver this apartment mail. I was told to go to the apartments and wait for the other girl. She finally showed up about ten minutes later.
We go to the units and she takes a bit of the mail, I take the rest and we put it in the correct boxes. Im still putting in mail and she goes to leave. I said she has to lock the boxes up and she says thier broke just slam them and they'll lock. Im like....okkkayyy.....for some reason I believed her and did just that. In reality I should of called again and told them about it and they would of told me no.
Then when I get back, I and the supervisor see all these totes full of smalls (packages that will fit in mailboxes) and box packages sitting back by the casing area for that route.
I said, " What are these doing here? "
Turns out, the other girl brought them all back from the apartments they were supposed to be delivered at. She says thats what she was trained to do.
First of all, you dont bring back mail, especially packages. There was no reason those smalls should of not been delivered to the proper CBU. She said the office was closed and was told by whoever was training her to bring them back.
No one would be training her that.
I was asked to take the smalls back out and deliver them and scan them as delivered. I was also asked to find out if the office was indeed closed. I think they were wanting to make sure or find out if she was lying. It was closed. The sign said though they were open Mon-Fri 9 to 5, but the door was locked and no one came when I knocked.
I got back and told them when I got back.
I also told them I couldnt get the boxes to lock and was told they were broke by the other girl. I was told I should of called like I had done with the other boxes on the main route I do. I should have. Its a big deal to leave the mail unsecured.
One of the supervisors went back out to make sure they were properly secured.
Tomorrow I do 13 again, and then have to sub on RR3. I will hopefully do better on it if I just trust the route line of travel and the flow of mail.
Sunday I have to go to another city to do Amazon. Yuck.
