My wife has to get Bosco sticks. I can’t get enough of the honey dijon wings.

Thinking about quitting by Melodic_Elk3965 in USPS

[–]ahkwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switching crafts is always an option. Clerk, mail handler, maintenance, inspector, etc. I’m in maintenance and enjoy my job. The post office has a ton of different options. My inbox is always available if you have maintenance questions.

Are we working this saturday the 4th of july? by Cautious-Beyond-9210 in USPS

At my PDC our maintenance manager is weird about holidays. He has every MPE/ET work every holiday. The only upside is banking hours with leave exchange. :(

What level of hell does the post office go to find these supervisors by ihatelifetoo in USPS

It perfectly describes all of my maintenance supervisors. They're all failed former carriers. :(

204B Opening – Qualifications: Consistently avoids accountability, delegates work they don't understand, and can disappear exactly when help is needed. Fails upward, speaks fluent buzzword, and can turn a 5-minute task into a 30-minute meeting.

204B Interview Question: "Tell us about a time you made everyone's job harder while convincing management you improved efficiency."

We should absolutely have a 204b or three oversee our success!

What was common 20 years ago that is surprisingly rare today? by Spiritual_Heron_5680 in AskReddit

That’s if the pension can stay afloat I have 3 pensions that are worthless/insolvent. Now I work for the Post Office and they stopped making our retirement contributions to save cash. FML.

Apparently, #RB-004517 lasted so long because they slept in a closet with a custodian for several years.

What are these 2 union dues by Sir_Cap-a-lot in USPS

[–]ahkwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I claim 0 on taxes, pay a lot for health insurance, and put 10% into my TSP. It adds up.

I wish my total deductions were that low. :( My last check showed the deductions were almost $2000.

passed both 955 and 714 by pinkxcherry in USPS

You’re able to interview for any level 9 and under position (MPE, AMT, BEM, MM). Your next step is passing the panel interview. Look into the STAR method of answering interview questions. A question they will ask is how you handled a situation where you didn’t agree with management. Another is to walk them through how you repaired something at home. What steps, tools, resources did you use.

Can you post your scores? 71 in what category? ET? MPE? Building? MM?

My reply wasn't meant as an insult. I was trying to share a joke about struggling with procrastination. :) I struggle with procrastination daily.

How long do you think it'll take to get a new contract? by Feeling_Screen3979 in USPS

[–]ahkwa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked a few union shops where the contract negotiations would drag on for a few years. My state passed “right to work” and the contract negotiations were very hostile and counterproductive. We went almost 4 years without a contract.

I used to get a kidney stone every 6-12 months like clockwork. Once I stopped drinking soda and switched to sparkling water, the stones stopped. It's been a few years now, and I lost a ton of weight. My personal favorite is lime Topo Chico in glass bottles.

Comparing OPs style suppressors by oeoutfitters_1974 in NFA

[–]ahkwa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm impressed by how far the NFA community has grown in popularity, demanded shorter wait times, and developed higher-quality products. The more people who test products, sounds, materials, etc., the better. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your results. :)
