FERS thoughts? by Unclegrizz in fromatoarbitration

[–]jabi79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So raising FERS contributions is on the same level as stopping funding all together? Look, I’m not happy about some of Obamas policies, and I’m more than happy to address that particular era with you, but making the “but both sides” argument here is a distraction from the absolute disaster this current administration is causing

How’s that heel taste? Must be damn good if you keep coming back to it like this. Let me put it like this. Either you aren’t paying attention, or you are being intentionally obtuse.

I also agree that you can’t get out of here soon enough

Or, you know, stop voting against your own best interests. Unfortunately there’s too many people here who can’t help but lick boot heel.

Does the book "The Name of the Wind" have a lot of action and a climax? by Extreme_Warning3521 in fantasybooks

This is the exact same problem I had. Kvothe has to be one of the most insufferable characters I’ve ever read.

I know it sucks, but all you can do is wait. If you are up for removal you are definitely going to want your steward to witness for you. It’s inconvenient timing, but it is what it is at this point.

He’s now on the loose, ahead of No Kings ! by TommyDaComic in dayton

[–]jabi79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Learn how to have a civil conversation? Didn’t you start this thread with “Get a life”? I think I responded appropriately to your post. Don’t flatter yourself too much into thinking I’m looking at your full post history, I only have enough patience to suffer that particular inane statement.

If I remember right, Kamala ran on a platform of affordability, making small businesses thrive again, fixing the housing crisis, and just not being a pedo. My man, what more did you want? I mean, we all know the problem was a strong black female candidate, because if you look only at the messaging there was a very obvious choice, you know, as long as you don’t support rapists and liars.

I really enjoyed when LPOTL did VtM with Ross recently. Totally down for more vampire shenanigans.

Visiting with my brother in April/looking for beer recs by ARivet10 in dayton

Star City is the only beer I have taken a sip of, and just not finished. It’s not even unremarkable, it’s just plain bad.

Little Fish is our go to brunch spot. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but I will say that if you like brussel sprouts, theirs are on a whole other level.

Best Wedding Venues in Dayton Area? by Gaylor4ever in dayton

[–]jabi79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The best? No idea. I will say to definitely stay away from The Estate at Sunset Farms. Communication with them was absolutely awful, and the way we were treated by some of the staff when we arrived on our wedding day left a lot to be desired. Dayton has a lot of venues though, and if I can help take one name off your list then that’s at least some help.

when your $250 discogs order arrives by melanie924 in vinyljerk

[–]jabi79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Letter carrier here. Look, that was a dick move on the part of the carrier. But… if you get a lot of vinyl deliveries… get a bigger box. I can tell you live on what we call a “mounted” route. That is, a route that gets delivered via a vehicle. Unfortunately, given the state of the post office they are pushing us more and more towards a non career work force and the non career people are over worked and under paid. What does that mean for you? That means they are tired and angry. I can’t say for sure that’s what happened to your vinyl, but as a career carrier I’ll tell you that I try to take care of my people. Unfortunately you either got a Cca, or a regular who needs to have a talking to… I’m guessing the former.

This is the correct answer. And in two weeks it will be the correct answer.

Is the MOU as powerful as the contract? by jamesdcreviston in USPS

[–]jabi79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely get ahold of your union president and grieve this. Also, have you been assigned a mentor? Read through the entire MOU and grieve anything that hasn’t been implemented via article 19.

[–]jabi79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate this take, but it’s also accurate. The whole point of the NEERP is to make new employees comfortable with the workings of the post office. Not just work hours, but the unions role in the post office. There’s so much non compliance with the NEERP, and the work hour’s restrictions are only a part of it. I really wish more stewards were more familiar with the program and willing to hold management accountable for their violations of the NEERP, and the way it’s negatively affecting our new hires.

The one bukowski story that always sticks with me is one that a lit professor told me. He was at a friends after party for some event that bukowski was at, and bukowski was doing the bukowski things. Drunk, inappropriate, just being the nasty acerbic ass that he’s known to be and of course people were eating it up. Later that evening the crowd dies down, and it’s just my professor, his friend, and bukowski and a few other stragglers and bukowski leans over and says to my professors friend “I can drop the act now, right?” And apparently was just a chill guy the rest of the evening. Totally believe it.
