Applying At Other Offices

I have no regular work, only vacations and sick leave for one route, so I want to try other offices. What I'm after is a list of names, phone #'s and email addresses for PM's in the surrounding area. The catch in this area is that  many offices are in a state of transition so a lot of OIC's are rotating around to these different offices but I'll try anything, I just want my name and all of my contact info readily available to someone at each office. Also just heard about  a Share List, how does that work?

patrick-i sub at a bunch of different offices-all i did was look in the phonebook and call surrounding post offices and ask for the pm and just tell them "i'm an rca in _____and i'm looking for more hours and was wondering if you were in need of a sub" and they either said yes or no and if they said "no" then i asked them to keep me in mind if they ever do need a sub and most of those i contacted eventually called me! keep in mind though that if you don't transfer to one of these offices, they can boot you out the door as soon as they hire their own sub so you may learn a new route just to do the darn thing 5 times then they hire someone else and you're s.o.l. So, what you can do is tell the pm that you are only willing to learn the route if they will guarentee you they'll keep you for at least 6 months or whatever.  i got lucky and found two pms and carriers that'll all work around eachother so i can keep at least one extra route for a while and it's a k (my hiring office is an h) so i at least can count on saturdays (?) for a while plus i have a few other offices that now have me in mind for when they're in a spot and can't get a sub.
