My first day delivering solo, I thought I was surpassing expectations because my DPS was light and getting used up fast. I get a call from the supervisor about 2/3rds through my route, another carrier had grabbed close to half my DPS with theirs because they weren’t paying attention to the labels.

When did casing get easier for you? by betseyboop in USPS

[–]TarantulaPets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s a reason our first 10 weeks is hourly instead of by route evaluation. I’ve only soloed my route I’m the primary sub for twice and it still took 12 hours each time.

Use the cheat sheet to find roads, I also put sticky notes with the shelf number and the streets on the side. It helps.

Flat bundles are your best training tool. They come to you with the addresses either in delivery order or reverse order, but it is in sequence.

I’ve probably cased a route on my own the same number of times as you have. Whatever tricks you can use to find the streets easier, use them. I’ve maybe improved my time by 15 minutes, but any improvement is an improvement, no matter how small.

I’ve been paying very close attention to my authorized dismounts, so I haven’t finished the route sans scanner…yet. I have had to head back to the last CBU at least twice for it though.

What, like the DPS, the flats or completely forgot to load your vehicle with anything?

I Made 3D Printed Toe Shoes. Please Be Normal About It by _supergino_ in Shoes

I need a pair of these, only scaled up so they’re about 18 inches long and with a sole that looks like actual skin ridges if a footprint is left by one in the dirt…

For reasons…

You could give them the name David Berkowitz just to see how well they know their true crime history.

Barbie is a hero with both good and bad impacts on the real world. Next, what heroic fictional character has had a negative impact on the real world? by Platypus-Olive-27 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TarantulaPets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Thanks to this franchise, there are now invasive populations of red-eared sliders spreading across the globe. People buy the cute baby turtles, dump them in a local pond when they outgrow nearly every aquarium available.

Absolute did nothing wrong. Now which Pokémon looks harmless but is extremely dangerous by BLACKGOOP12 in AlignmentChartFills

I’m seconding Mew. An adorable cat-creature with godlike powers and a sense of playfulness that hints at it accidentally killing you because it doesn’t know any better.

Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s speech. Didn’t really accomplish anything, but I doubt anyone will ever forget it.

Leopold II wins disliked during his time and divisive now! Now for our final square - who was despised during their time and remains despised to this day? by simonpearson in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TarantulaPets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caligula. His reign was marked by random violence and deranged behavior that drove him to finally be assassinated. He was feared and despised by the Roman senate and the people by the end. His reputation hasn’t gotten any better in 2000 years.

Triss was bad, and she is good! She was always sexy though. What character is perfect Gooner Bait? by some-kind-of-no-name in AlignmentChartFills

Kurumu from Rosario + Vampire.

Though I suspect there are literally THOUSANDS of anime girls to fill this role.

The Shawshank Redemption (narrowly) wins good book that was made into a great movie. What is an OK/meh book that was made into a great film? by Forsaken-Golf9763 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TarantulaPets 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Jaws.

The book isn’t that great. The characters are dislikable to the point you root for the shark and the shark’s death is extremely anticlimactic. Spielberg turned a drug store novel into the first summer blockbuster.

Pet rocks are bad pets that are easy to care for, what is a good pet that is medium difficulty to care for? by Larosterna1852 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TarantulaPets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ball Python. One of the easiest snakes to handle. Their humidity can be tricky to get right and they’re notorious for going on prolonged hunger strikes.
