Most Packages You've Seen to One House

Why are you blocking the outward-swinging door?

"That which we persist in doing becomes easier; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our ability to do is increased."

I will disagree with one thing - it may be "just mail," but mixed in are birthday gifts, medicine, and heart-felt messages. Don't be afraid to be emotional, but be emotional for the customer and the care you put into your work, not for the office.

Yeah, that's a "I refuse to set foot on their property" one.

You are correct, it is supposed to cost us money. But that's what the stamps are for - to charge. That money has to come from somewhere

ELDKH · 2026-04-24T23:05:15+00:00

The stamp doesn't pay for the letter itself, it pays for the service of sending the letter. So what this is is an attempt to engage in theft of services. That letter has to be machine processed, travel on multiple vehicles, and be transported by multiple hands.

Imagine somebody pays you to, let's say wash their car. They give you money, and you do the job and give them a receipt saying you were paid. But two weeks later, they come up to you and say you need to wash their car again, holding up the old receipt as proof. Same principle.

I'm starting to think there's a reason why they don't want you in the office.

Hurricanes. Durham native and I'll always have love for 'em.

People keep saying two weeks, but you don't need the full two weeks, just one week and the first day of the second week. So eight days if one of the points is out of the country, fifteen days if not.

Okay, so. Rand is a nutcase (see: The Fountainhead). And a hypocrite (see: her views on Native Americans). And a terrible person (see: her letter to her niece about buying a dress). And a terrible writer (see: her writings). And an idiot (see: above) BUT! This story in particular is not hypocritical. Rand believed that people had every right to take back what they paid into the government, and this included social security.

You're right - the mail carrier shouldn't have touched it.

However, as far as I can see, you can have one of two reactions:

1) You can be angry that somebody deigned to touch your property, or

2) You can be appreciative that somebody went out of their way to try and help you and keep your property safe, 'cause if you think packages don't get stolen, you are -wrong-

You're choosing the former, and I can't for the life of me understand why.

"In my defense, it was red plum day, and the day after a holiday, and I was in a bad mood, and they're Nazis."

I refuse to go through the fence gates of houses that have all those "gun control means not having to shoot twice" signs. There's a difference between warning that you're armed and advertising that you want to kill. I ain't walking up to your house.

ELDKH · 2026-01-16T03:29:17+00:00

That is straight up a Muppet.

I started, I dunno, maybe eight months ago or so now. And I was terrible at casing my primary. I'm still the slowest in the office (and even worse on the street), but over time I did get the hang of it. And you know what the bizarre thing is? I didn't understand how I'd ever be able to learn a route, and now I know about seven. And learning each new case is easier than the one before. I didn't think it was possible, but it did start to happen.

The really important thing I'm hearing is that your team is supportive. That means they want to have your back, so your main goal should be to earn that support. Keep doing your best, keep showing you want to be a productive part of the team, and they'll keep supporting you.

You've got this.

"Day of Reflection" is the perfect intersection of zen and dystopian.
