Synopsis

Post Office Paranoid is based on my 19 years with the postal service and grew out of work-related diaries that I kept for 15 of those years, most of them spent as a clerk on the night shift. Its main theme is working at the post office and the harassment and games that seem to thrive there, due to a combination of factors I don't try to analyze but just demonstrate by using my experience as an example. It's a memoir that contains a certain amount of anger, bitterness, and what probably sounds like paranoia, but it's not some monotonous "Fear, Loathing, and Whining." Hopefully, it's an informative and somewhat humorous look at a place everyone is familiar with but few have seen the inside of.

FORKED IN FORT WAYNE.

Haven't met anyone since becoming an Ex,
but fork it, Jack, I'll pay for sex.
My only friend here moved to Colorado,
but who needs to talk, I'm incommunicado.
At the post office they think I'm starting to lose it,
but they're out to get me, I just can't prove it.
Every year brings a new ache or pain,
but no pain, no gain, and no fun in Fort Wayne.

So fork it, dork it, and Kervorkian it, Jack.
One day I'll leave here and never come back.
They say that moving can change your luck,
but if you can't move, you're a sucker who's stuck.
A young boy who needs me is the reason I'm stayin',
one more dork who's forked in Fort Wayne.
