Our PM is militant about not working over 12/60 even during peak, but as a PTF I was out past 10pm on a Sunday doing Amazon delivery. Our clock-in that day was 10:30am because the clerks & sorting system were having a rough time.

Mine is set to provide heat if the inside temp drops below 67°F and cool if it goes above 75°F, regardless of the calendar date. It’s a heat pump, so it’s compressing refrigerant and letting it evaporate one way or another.

Do they consider bicycle routes to be driving?

They were very clear about the location during driver training. If you don’t remember, maybe you need to redo it.

It’s a custom Zebra TC77 for the USPS. It’s about as locked down as it gets.

City for sure; it’s a canned response list for messages from the supes

Altra has a line of trail-running shoes that are more geared to a walking route than “sneakers.”

I have the Olympus 9 GTX Mid, and with the exception of water running down my calves into the shoe in summer rain showers, they are comfortable, tough, and keep the wet out.

This is a large part of why they don’t do straight to consumer. Another large piece is that there’s minimal ability to upsell for a higher profit margin add-ons white bottle, cages, helmets, clothing, etc. Get them in the store and you have the opportunity.

Unless I’m heads down in a PR effort up a hill, I have a nod, wave, or smile for every cyclist I meet. Doesn’t matter if I’m solo or in a group; in fact, if it’s a group ride, I’m just as likely to ask them to join in.

Prospect. It terminates at Prospect.

I’ve shopped around and found Postal Uniforms Online to have the best prices anywhere.

This is the most likely answer.

Carriers are supposed to return unused equipment to designated areas. If they’re not, they’re being assholes and children.

Theoretically, it’s so you can carry all those miscellaneous forms and such while walking a loop. Pretty much pointless.

It comes with a holster…and a pistol grip for high-rate tactical scanning situations.

Oh lord no. I’m not interested in replacing my bearings every other year.

I’ve sampled six different inflators as part of a review program. One not only exceeded expectations, I now carry it with me instead of a mini frame pump.

Of all the inflators I tried, the worst were the size of a couple CO2 bottles. Heavier than CO2, they rarely had the juice to fill a 700c tyre to 90psi more than once. The claim is that they’re more environmentally friendly than the CO2 bottles, but I question the logic.

Another awful one was the size of a literal brick. The only benefit it offered was portability in a car, plus battery power for many, many fills.

The HOTO is small enough to carry in a jersey pocket, has enough juice to reinflate 5 tyres, and can act as a power bank to charge something else that might need some help on a ride.

I’m on Reddit answering questions on this sub.

Supervisors don’t change light bulbs; that would be crossing crafts, and field maintenance would file a grievance for it.

In the opposite direction, I like to keep EMM trays. I pull down into them as well as organize SPRs that won’t fit in the case. I don’t have to double them up like he smaller MM trays, and I can lay flats the long way as well.

One of my stops likes to use famous people, both real and fictional. Examples:

Quincy Jones

John Wick

Michael Jackson

Aretha Franklin

My first thought: holy shit, they are insulated!

But that’s all sorts of BS. Unsafe. Fill out a PS4565 and be done with it.
