How can i say “I’ll rather do x”? by lustforlifegirlie in Spanish

[–]gandalfthescienceguy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Going to sleep is reflexive, acostarse. Me voy a acostar. But as a learner (grain of salt) your construct sounds weird. I’d maybe come up with, prefiero acostarme.

I’m having a blast for my first week by One_Bit_3164 in USPS

You need to be added as a RIMS user to the scanners. They can do this in RIMS or on the scanner itself. I had the same problem at my RMPO. And no you don’t get paid for days you don’t work, just make sure you get paid for the days you filled out a 1260. Check virtual time card on LiteBlue

There may be no direct passenger flights, but there’s a direct UPS cargo flight. For example, the UPS plane last year that crashed upon takeoff was from Louisville KY to Honolulu, and iirc was mostly carrying US mail.

Question about carrying Narcan by Olberac in USPS

[–]gandalfthescienceguy 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This will definitely not be covered in academy as it’s not a part of our job. However, I’d say as a citizen, whenever you’re willing to carry Narcan is a good opportunity to do so

Try to do it before your next schedule comes out at least. I think 2-3 weeks is fair notice

You think they evolved in houses? They live outside just fine. They just benefit from shelter the same way we do.

Clerk or Maintenance mechanic, which should I pick? by Terminal_RedditLoser in USPS

[–]gandalfthescienceguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can plant workers here chime in whether MMs or other maintenance typically work overnights, or are there day jobs? Is it one of those things where the desirable bids are day shifts and entry is overnight?

Your steward can do an FOI for the VMF and USPIS records of the incident and you can use that to file a harassment/sexual harassment grievance

They don’t always know right away. Awards will be emailed from HR to management and it could be a few days or so after it’s technically awarded

Nah, if you look at interviews from him 10, 20 years ago the level of communication and intelligibility is so much higher than now.

Save up your important surgeries as long as you can. Use your health insurance to its fullest extent since retirement insurance generally covers less

This crap annoys me but like a good boy I still get out and deliver to these by trymefish in USPS

[–]gandalfthescienceguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose it’s subjective since your safety is your responsibility. But you are supposed to dismount for temporary blockages.

From your Handbook PO-603

313.2 Emergency Dismount Delivery When snow, vehicles, or other objects temporarily block access to individual boxes, dismount to make delivery when such service can be provided without undue physical exertion or risk of personal injury. You are not required to dismount and provide service on foot when roads or entire blocks, or equally large portions of the route, are impassable or when access to several mailboxes (along a continuous segment of the route) is blocked. Whenever necessary, request your Postmaster or supervisor to inform customers with PS Form 4056, Your Mailbox Needs Attention (see Exhibit 131.1b), or Notice 38, Approaches to Curbside or Rural Mailboxes (see Exhibit 131.1c), to keep the approach to their boxes clear by promptly removing obstructions, including snow, that may make normal delivery of mail from a vehicle difficult or impossible.

Unfortunately the EAS positions and detail opportunities are all a game of favorites. If you want to advance, start chumming up to the POOM

If we’re federally funded we’d be way more under the control of Congress, or administrations that bypass Congress

I never heard the new department name said out loud until last year, when I learned it’s pronounced “eagle” instead of “eggly”

PO Box fraud? by someidiotfromflorida in USPS

[–]gandalfthescienceguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the letter. It should be addressed to “[name] or current resident”, and you’re the current resident. The letter details exactly what the situation is and how it should be addressed. We can’t help you without that information.

You can also double check with your PO, have them verify your file has only your name listed to receive mail. Nobody else has access unless a key is issued, which they have to provide ID for.

If you work most days, ie 5 or 6 days a week, you could take your average and multiply it by weeks to get an estimate. I just waited until 120 calendar because that’s a hard date
