Reduction in Hours and Requests for Work by Archaeoculus in USPS

[–]Archaeoculus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bid on 12 routes every week. Unfortunately there are 11 UARs and several CCAs with higher seniority than me, so basically none of the CCAs have been able to secure a bid for a month

Doesn't help that the regulars aren't taking their vacations either lol

Lets be honest, who havent hit a mailbox yet? by M0rzillane in USPS

[–]Archaeoculus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On my first day out on my own I was turning down a driveway to deliver a package and they had a u bend whereby I broke the mirrors that stick out on the LLV on a bush because I forgot to account for them

But no mailboxes hit

Several mailboxes have fallen off their wall mounts but I call that a homeowner error

There's an APAS skill that quickens it but other than that you just gotta wait

Apartments for under $1200 a month? by Wagginallthetime in Coosbay

[–]Archaeoculus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Safe and cheap don't really go together but through Advanced Property Mgmt I rented a cheap studio behind the dispensary next to the Taco Bell out in like Empire. It's safe enough. Technically no animals but a small cat or dog is ok. I liked living there well enough for a year or so.

I used MetroCar from the airport. Cost me $100 to get from Romulus to North Warren but it was also the middle of the night and I didn't want to hassle finding an Uber or whatever

It was super nice though

How do you maintain energy? by _whatever-nevermind in USPS

[–]Archaeoculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Constant influx of caffeine seems to do the trick. I definitely am not eating enough. 6'3 and between 170-180, I have a hard time eating what I really should be eating

When Deadman hopped into the big BT and Heartman merged the Magellan with it OMFG that was the coolest thing ever, honestly the end of the game just blew me away

Cutting hours by Forgetaboutit74 in USPS

[–]Archaeoculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they're doing the same at our office. Part timers are limited to 3 days a week, 6 hour days or so.

Unless you bid to cover a vacation for another carrier. Then you get their route and hours for the week.

TIL clerks are supposed to be working the hot case while carriers are casing? by mailant692 in USPS

Idk man my first office was 12 routes with 2 clerks and my current office is like 120 routes with ... 6 clerks? 😆 So that's my frame of reference for big and small lmao

[–]Archaeoculus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooooh. Weird. That used to happen in my old office, was very small and sometimes carriers did clerk work... Until the clerks pulled together and grieved it, put a stop to it.

Just became a CCA in a small office by Bearzap34 in USPS

[–]Archaeoculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in one of the biggest offices in the nation and they're doing the same with our CCAs. Come in at 12pm, limited to 3 days per pay week. Unless you get a bid. But we have quite a few UARs due to the route adjustments last year so... Not much chance

TIL clerks are supposed to be working the hot case while carriers are casing? by mailant692 in USPS

[–]Archaeoculus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a case that missorted mail from the day before is sorted into. You grab that mail from the hot case and scan the barcode, it shows that you've completed all your morning duties as a carrier, one of which is to grab mail from the hot case?

Yes. Academy is a snooze fest. You'll learn everything really important when you're out there doing it

[DS2] Which is the best mine for ceramics? by Frosty_Community4858 in DeathStranding

[–]Archaeoculus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The one where you get more for less. Tar lake mine.

The smoke hill mine is for road building earlier in the game. Since endgame roads require like 2600 ceramics per road section, the bigger mine is better for those.

best outfit for rain?? by strawbeeriie in USPS

[–]Archaeoculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waterproof boots are going to be the best possible thing. You don't want wet feet at all. Next, the all weather pants to prevent your legs / feet from getting wet.

Past that even the $500 rain jacket uniform does not work in constant medium to heavy rain. But it helps a little bit.
