    Do you ever want to throw mail back at people and just say really, you couldn't email this sh*t instead of making me do this today?

    If you guys are always complaining about being broke then why do deliver 7 days a week versus going down to 5 days a week. Wouldn't that save money?????

    Last year was the first time in years the PO was in the black... it was due to package growth.. taking away from fedex and ups.

    Not going down to 5... its a union thing.

    Phasing out the old carriers that make a ton of money and new carriers make about 35% less.

    Will be in the black again this year unless Congress forces postage lower.

    enjoy

    Nope.

    But about a third of new carriers make it past their 90 days.

    Was it fully sealed?

    A few times. One time a guy was sitting in his garage listening to portuguese radio what sounded like a soccer game in a lawn chair completely naked and he was screaming. I tried to ignore him but then he got up and started spraying his hose at me until I ran

    don't take that personally....

    my wife always grabs the hose when a gecko suddenly appears, particularly if it's wearing a hood.....
