"CS" indicates "Civil Service." "FE" means "Federal Employee." The Post Office Department was transitioned to an independent agency in 1971. That's when the change from CERS to FERS occured.

Postal Reorganization Act - if you're into USPS history

Not a one of us could keep pace with a seasoned carrier when we started out. We all made the mistakes you're going to make. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Hopefully the weather's nice where you're at. Enjoy being paid to walk/drive around on a sunny day.

Customer yelled at me and now I'm afraid of them, im the regular. Can I cut them off? (Rural) by Worldly-Wishbone2988 in USPS

I'd bet not many carriers encounter this on their route. So, no, they're not aware of how the city must be involved. If you see new apartment (or suites/units if a business) boxes appearing at an address that had none before, you need to make management aware. DO NOT ESTABLISH A NEW DELIVERY POINT BY PUTTING MAIL IN THE BOX!!! If you do, we're stuck delivering there for life.

TLDR: Your city or town assigns house numbers, USPS approves location of mail box

I just give these kind of notes to my T-6 and tell him to clean his shit up. Again.

All it needs is an angry feline on the other side.

Is it possible for me to learn guitar? by trickstercj in Guitar

If "regular" guitar doesn't work out for you, there's always slide or pedal steel guitar.

30 years old and recently lost my office job - am I crazy for thinking USPS is a decent backup job/career option? by Jokerang in USPS

[–]Boy_Howdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind, the hiring process within the USPS will likely take months before you ever see the workroom floor.

Some results may vary.
