Going Postal
Have you ever wondered what your letter carrier is doing when you're not looking? What do some of them do with the mail when theyre all alone in their vehicle or working the graveyard shift at night? Did you ever have mail disappear or mail that looks tempered with? Are you comfortable with the mailman who delivers your mail? Are any of the workers criminals, peeping toms or child molesters? GOING POSTAL answers all of those questions and gives true examples of what has happened in cities around the country. What are the unions in the Postal Service really like? Are they there to help the Postal Service to become stronger and better or are they simply there to undermine the business and get employees off the hook when they commit heinous behaviors? What about higher level management at the upper levels of the organization? Do they treat their employees well or is profane abuse a common behavior by those in charge? Does the Postal Service employee dangerous individuals, especially persons that may be a hazard to your children? The book tells it all in a true, accurate format. A must read!
Going Postal
This memoir is a riveting account of my journey to become one of America’s finest; a paratrooper and a Special Forces, Green Beret. This memoir will also take you through the very highs and very lows in working for the Postal Service. If you have heard the phrase Going Postal, I will give you tantalizing stories that will place you there with me as I attempted to navigate the mine fields of the Postal Service. After retiring from the Postal Service, with time on my hands, I started reminiscing about our dog Sparky, who we recently put to sleep, and the crazy things the dog had gotten into over the 20 years of his life. After authoring stories about Sparky and enjoying doing so, I turned my attention to my military and Postal careers, realizing I had so many interesting stories to tell about those experiences. With the combination of my military and Postal experiences and the stories associated with each, you will either feel sorry for me, or feel sorry for those I encountered. In titling my book “Going Postal,” I wanted to provide a different point-of-view of the phrase; mainly because it implies dangerous or unstable people work for the Postal Service. My stories will either confirm that belief or give you another perspective of a postal worker. The stories I share in this book are funny, daring, disappointing, revealing, insightful, and most of all, I believe, entertaining. You will travel with me through basic training, advanced infantry training, paratrooper jump school training, Special Warfare school, in addition to uncountable challenging situations the Postal Service presented. You will then understand why I decided to Go Postal.
Going Postal: More than 'Yes' or 'No'
In 2017 the queer and gender-diverse community of Australia undertook an incredible campaign of everyday activism around marriage equality. As individuals and collectives we shared our personal stories with our networks – from social media, to workplace to school playground. We purged our tears and our rage – documented as poems, articles, photos, short stories, status updates, tweets, blog posts, political cartoons, and short videos. Many of us were shocked at the vitriol directed at us, to our faces, in our letter boxes and online, even in ‘secret’ Facebook groups. Many of us were hurt by the unspoken tensions and the conversations we couldn’t have with some of our nearest and dearest. By the end, we were truly exhausted. Yes, the vote was for equality. Yes, the legislation went through. Yes, we can get married now. But many of us have been left wondering whether it was worth it. Many of us are living with the ongoing grief of having our lives, and those of our children, be up for public debate. Whether you are ‘gay, straight, black, or white’—or beyond reductive binaries—this edited collection guides the reader through the highs and lows of the marriage equality postal vote. Combining serious scholarship, humour, manifestos, and simple tales of childhood, readers are flung into the emotional melting pot that constitutes a definitive turning point in Australian queer histories. These feelings are sticky and sometimes traumatic, but there is also catharsis in this compilation. This is also a counter-archive, one that consciously amplifies some of the voices that were drowned out by dominant campaigns, including those that questioned the value of marriage as a patriarchal institution or resisted the ‘we are just like you’ discourses that obscured complex families and queer ways of loving.
