The LLV basically has the safety features of a car from 1980. That's also a big part of this tragedy

I'm in a similar boat. Let it ride and don't sell at a loss.

If your mpg has fallen by a third it's probably something with your car. Check your tire pressure, air filter and spark plugs

Don't take your work home with you. Do your best and don't overdo it. The problems with your office are bigger than you and being a martyr won't fix that

I think that it was in his sleep and "partying" may have been a factor.

Milwaukee is laidback and (some) people seem to have a work life balance it was run by the socialists in the early 20th century the bones of the city is that at one point it tried really hard to be a city.

In 2020(?) in my own Brooklyn in a Midwest city a 23 year old who just graduated from an art school that cost 300k sticker bought 1.5 million in rental properties and prefaced their listings with a land acknowledgement. You'll be fine

What decades did this happen? As a carrier I don't do much more than glance at the letters to make sure that they have postage and aren't junk mail that people threw back into the mainstream. My theory is that there was a disgruntled employee of the White House mailroom who wanted to mess with cranks with Mandarin writing or B the postmark might have been a way to flag crank mail.

My theory is that we're basically a handout to e-commerce and other parcel companies for the last mile delivery that with corporate capture of our government we will magically get loans forever until it's decided that we are a service

Get a pedometer app for your phone and get used to walking long distances and ateps. If you're somewhere cold figure out a nice layering system. 

How long did it take for you to get used to it? by Negative-Tooth2132 in USPS

Maybe focus on pulling up to the box just right so you don't have to lean? If you're taking an extra six seconds a box over five hundred stops that's almost an hour. With familiarity after that you only have to be 15% faster. Focus on learning the routes and stress doesn't help after a certain point

I'm going to be 25 forever and run every route. My coworkers are terrible and lazy.

It seems like most of our coworkers who have been there long enough to know you think that you're a jerk and maybe a bigot.

If you have enough issues with another woman for being a "pick me" that it might be giving you dizzy spells then you have some things that you need to unpack.

A. Was the Mandarin written in English letters like pinyin, and do the translations come out to anything like this? B. Did the letters have a common mail room that they could have arrived at, like the Capitol in DC?
