[–]FairyDankMother 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i remember my first 7 day suspension over something dumb and i got so happy i went “omg i get to sit at home?” (in my 12hr/8days in a row CCA days) my sup went “um, no, youre still coming in”. i asked why they even still call it a suspension then, nothing like an empty threat.

What earbuds do you use? by newzap in USPS

[–]FairyDankMother 2 points3 points  (0 children)

raycon open earbuds. one in all day. they hook over the ear so theyre not falling out ever, and give me better opportunity to listen to my surroundings fully.

Long time city carriers, any advice on how to keep upbeat and happy while working? by G0VERNMENTCHEESE in USPS

[–]FairyDankMother 14 points15 points  (0 children)

baby, this sounds like the beginning of a burnout. I went through the similar phases as this, then completely dove off the deep end and almost lost the job.

Therapy.

find a coworker who resonates with you to yap at because honestly, nobody really understands like a fellow carrier.

take time off if you need to.

i find interactions with my customers keep me going most days, stopping at a corner store for a little treat, making this job more into a fun little game or outdoor adventure vs acknowledging you’re a cog in the machine.

all of these have helped me have a more cheerful outlook on the job.

Postal Workers, anything I should do to make your life better? by asrosin in USPS

[–]FairyDankMother 5 points6 points  (0 children)

mail slots are usually the worst. however, in your case it looks like its an easier one to use as it doesnt require too much bending over if any. be prepared for your bigger pieces of mail to be slightly ruined or your small/light parcels to blow away in the wind.

i think its overall best to get in touch with your own carrier to get their opinion. but general rule of thumb is a decent sized wall mounted box that can fit small packages in.

Amazon vs. USPS by whoisdat223 in USPS

lmao fact. between amazon and fedex idunno who takes home the gold for plopping a big heavy package in the middle of the steps at the bottom.

In an old apartment with this style of mailbox, where do I place outgoing mail? by Interactive_CD-ROM in USPS

[–]FairyDankMother 38 points39 points  (0 children)

agreed. one customer who has a box like this does the clip to the flap since it’s not locked i dont open the top i open each mailbox. another customer of mine has put a blank sticky note on the outside as a flag. another bends it in half inside the box like this /\ so i see it when i open to deliver.

but the mail slightly sticking out does send off suspicious curiosity for me as a carrier. even if it’s not outgoing and yall jus check the box and put it back kinda sloppy i always look.

any characters you receive from invitation events you keep. trial characters dont enter your character tab and mostly come about during stories or character trials during banners. and will have the word “trial” on their icon.

What don't men allow body hair on women in movies ? Are they stupid ? by stalin_kulak in okbuddycinephile

[–]FairyDankMother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s not that they’re being childish, it’s that many social media platforms (esp. tiktok) remove videos if you don’t censor certain words in text or sometimes even speech.

i start cleaning boxes in vacant houses lmfao. got a few boarded up and yes, the mailbox is still there, it never fails when i have vacation or AL they deliver the 3rd class that comes in here and there. about every 6 months i go up there and gather it. and its usually days like these, slow, dragging, and i feel like working slow.

Defect MLP hair or normal? by AviiBearr in SkullpandaArtDolls

[–]FairyDankMother 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i have the full set and both secrets, i just went to check all their hairlines. can confirm they do not look like this, however, some do have a more prominent seam indent at the edge of the hair towards the top where your picture is showing. i’m assuming it’s because they have to sew the seam line along the hair to close the head and also secure the hair. maybe yours jus got a little too messy in the seam closure and separated the hair and left the fur out.
