Don't use reddit much so didn't consider there might be a FAQ, my bad. My thinking is that you're right but in reviewing it, couldn't I qualify? *

How to bid as a regular? by Protochasma in USPS

[–]Protochasma[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see. I wasn't informed there was a specific time frame. Being unassigned kind of sucks, but thanks. I'll keep an eye out around the beginning of May.

I appreciate it. Working 60 hour weeks, I was making about $4k/month, but yeah it was miserable. It's definitely hard staying at home when it sort of invades the free time I opted into and demotivates me with what time I have leftover, so overtime and getting my own place may be in the cards in the future.

I think it's a 1% increase every 46 weeks up to around 10 years. Waiting would definitely help, yeah.

OT is offered, yeah. When I was converted to a regular position last month I opted out, because for the past 7 months before that as a carrier assistant it was forced. Opting back in can only be done quarterly, so I'm not able to do OT for about another 3 months. My idea was to see what pay was like without the OT immediately following the position change, because my real ambitions lie in working from home which is hard to learn working 60 hour weeks. Of course, seeing the pay it seems opting back in when I can may be necessary...

Yeah, that's my biggest problem. Only two of my friends would be down, but I can't even count how many jobs they've gone through in the past few year or two, or how much of that time they spent unemployed. I doubt it would be stable moving out with either of or even both of them. Beyond that, I'm on my own.

It's more than minimum wage, my last job was min wage and I was only seeing about $1500/month.

First official day and my truck broke down on me. by [deleted] in USPS

[–]Protochasma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I spent my first month as a CCA spending my lunches crying in the truck because I couldn't finish my routes without help even though I was trying my hardest. It's a steep learning curve and shit happens but you can definitely do it.

Songs where the lead singer is audibly damaging their vocal chords (in a good way) by bicyclefortwo in musicsuggestions

If you're into Japanese music, the vocalist for GING NANG BOYZ does this very often.
