I am a City Letter Carrier for the US Postal Service in NY. I've been a city letter carrier for over 17 years and it is the best job I've ever had. I mostly work 5 days per week (sometimes includes a Saturday) and often have the opportunity for overtime, which is usually voluntary. The route I deliver has about 350 homes and I walk to each of their doors to deliver the mail. Please keep in mind that I don't have authority to speak for the USPS, so all opinions are solely mine, not my employer.
Any forwardable mail should be submitted through the folding system until 18 months from the original date of the forwarding order.I don’t think it’s the end of the world that you have sent it back UTF after 12 months but that is still not the correct procedure. By that time most people have updated their address with any important organization they interact with. I know this is a subject that our management never even talks about. In fact they talk about very little that actually pertains to mail delivery and quality of work. They just want us to show up and don’t get hurt. Thanks for your question and comment.

Sure. I listen to podcasts mostly while delivering the mail. We aren’t really supposed to wear ear buds, but I keep one ear uncovered. I do know many co-workers listen to music or podcasts or maybe streaming news during the day.
