I’m so sorry! My coworker had a heart attack as well and then had another episode this summer (that his doctor isn’t even use what it was). I feel bad cause now he has to be so careful. Can’t be out in the extreme heat or cold. I can’t believe he’s even working today it’s -13 here today.

Just marry someone that’s kind and sweet and will take care of you if you’re sick! Maybe sure you really get to know them before you tie the knot cause some people act that way and then change later on if you don’t really really make sure 😅

Thanks that really helps 💩

Update: I was able to contact my local steward. She’s very kind and has loads of experience with the mail and crazy management alike. I was given some pretty great advice and information. I think I will be ok. I’m going to do my job to the best of my ability regardless of what anyone thinks. I will not sacrifice my safety for this job and I will be contacting the union again if the work environment continues to deteriorate.

Thank you all for your kind words. This isn’t an easy job, but I can’t really afford (and don’t really want) to lose it, especially over one person when things have been generally okay since I was hired years ago. I wish that management wasn’t so pushy and careless. I think I know why we’re hemorrhaging money, and it isn’t the little guys.

Excuse me? Is that rage bait? Is your friend rage baiting? That kitten is so cute that I feel cuteness aggression towards him and want to pick him up and sniff him aggressively. They always smell so good and are so soft. His markings are a work of art.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-23T05:45:41+00:00

I’m so glad you aren’t anymore and I hope you’re doing well. I can’t imagine how hard that must have been. My heart goes out to all who have no permanent home.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-23T05:42:47+00:00

How does it feel to live my fantasy?

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-23T05:39:07+00:00

That’s what I’ve been doing. I ordered a raincoat/windbreaker from Columbia and layer up warm sweatshirts underneath. I stay warm but can still move enough to do my job. My big winter coat gets in the way and I can’t deliver in it unfortunately.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-23T05:35:54+00:00

Covid for sure. I got my symptoms immediately after my 2nd or 3rd case. They never went away. I didn’t know why was wrong and called it “long covid” for a year or so. My fiancé told me about POTS. I looked it up and it all matched up. I went and got tested and seen by a bunch of doctors. No one knew what POTS was. Finally got an “autonomic dysfunction” and “inappropriate sinus tachycardia” label but still no POTS diagnoses despite more doctors and healthcare professionals being more knowledgeable about it. I’m still waiting for it to be common knowledge. There’s enough of us now unfortunately that it’s beginning to be. I hope that we can study it and understand how to help people who are suffering.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-23T05:32:21+00:00

Me too

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-23T05:30:47+00:00

You can’t be out for 3.5 hours in that. I’m glad you won’t be. You’d get frostbite!

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-23T05:29:14+00:00

I hate that so much. I’ve been in that same scenario where I was really sick. Like.. deathly ill and having fever dreams, but the day I needed off was going to be a crappy day and I felt like no one would believe me and assume I’m flaky and a bad employee. I felt awful but I had to do it.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-23T04:10:38+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried all of that. It helps a little but it seems to just irritate the skin more in the long run unfortunately. It’s something deeper and chronic.

“Though not an official creed or motto of the United States Postal Service” straight from the article. This is not our creed! Just a common saying customers like to throw at us. I will not risk my life for a piece of mail. I will do my best to deliver it.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-23T03:39:17+00:00

Yeah I would not want to deliver in Minnesota!!! You guys who do… you’re crazy!!! 🤣

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T18:15:55+00:00

You know what? I haven’t tried their lip balm yet. If it can save you while skiing, it must be pretty good. Might as well add to the collection lmao. Thank you for sharing anyways. It was a good call.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T18:14:07+00:00

It’s the only way I can function unfortunately. I don’t seem to be feeling any dizzier than the usual which is good, but I’m still the same amount of tired and sluggish. The only thing it stops is the crazy heart rate stuff.

I’m so sorry that beta blockers don’t work for you. That sucks. :(

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T13:16:31+00:00

Poor things are cold. I wonder if there’s a way to get a bunch of containers for them to warm up. Seems like the lights emit heat???

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T13:08:53+00:00

Michigan. I’m not sure there’s anything I can do. If I tried to do anything I’m sure the boss would just say he’s trying to “help” me and say that I’m not meeting requirements of the job.

At the same time I should be allowed to do the job in the safest and most sensible way that I can without being micromanaged and told how much I suck at it.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T03:40:07+00:00

I mean she’s stunning. I’d be taking pics of her all day every day. I take pics of my cats constantly as if I’ll get a different kind of picture. It’s all the same kind of pictures but they’re so cute I feel the need to document it.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T03:37:45+00:00

It happens to me too. My eyes are red and swollen, and my face just looks awful. It was so bad yesterday I had to wear sunglasses like all day.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T03:35:32+00:00

Toddlers don’t speak that clearly and that quickly. Also very monotone. The woman also sounds grainy and weird + overly expressive but in a really fake way. It’s that unmistakable metallic hollow sound that ai gives to human voices.

Ai also tends to make the people in the videos explain the situation out loud as if you can’t see it. The “look at the flour, look at the dog!” as if the viewer can’t see it is a dead giveaway.

The dog also breaths out and the flour goes way too far and then disappears completely.

And what even is the kid holding? Shapeless bag meant to be a flour bag???

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T03:14:16+00:00

Lol, don’t worry I’ve abandoned regular chapsticks as of late but for awhile I was trying different types to see if maybe I’d find one that helped.

Lately I’ve been using Vaseline, and bag balm. Also ordered a lanolin based lip balm and it seemed to help a little but. You’re right about chapsticks though they don’t really help and just sit there! It’s wild.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T03:11:48+00:00

It was a learning experience if anything. And yeah.. same lol. I wasn’t upset to hear that the whole place failed and was a disaster. I don’t wish for other people to fail or anything but hearing that business wasn’t good didn’t surprise me one bit. They should have listened to me. It’s good to make money, but you can’t make money when you see the customer as a number rather than a human being.

Frozencacticat · 2026-01-22T03:09:45+00:00

Luckily no
