tired

Got up this morning after snoozing my alarm for another 20 minutes. At least I shouldn't have trouble falling asleep tonight.

Got some food at my favorite sandwich place before work, and chatted up a walking mail carrier who was passing through.

I've always wanted to be a walking mail carrier, cause you're providing an important service, staying active, and get to be outdoors, but what he said about the job made it sound quite harrowing.

12-15 miles a day, two 10 minute breaks and a 30 minute break. If you're stationary for more than 10 minutes someone calls you to ask why. Pay potentially worse than what I'm making now, which is more than most and still not enough. Maybe it's just the area I was in, since the walking infrastructure was pretty poor, but it was definitely disappointing.

Kinda a sad way to start the day.
