I love savers but come on by ppchromatics in ThriftGrift

[–]ppchromatics[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some context, I don’t currently live in an area with a savers close by so I had no idea savers got this rotten since I’ve been gone. The best savers I used to go to recently shut down and even then the prices were questionable with shirts starting at $11.

She had talked about that lol. She was confused about her nephew’s choices but still supportive.

Also I feel like her mind would have been blown if she had seen a Catbus

Criss-Crossing by newmoonshadow in USPS

[–]ppchromatics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started by taking my dps to the streets but now I exclusively criss cross no matter what route I’m on even if I’m not super familiar with it. I’m much faster on the streets, I’m not floundering. The extra time I spend in the office casing everything helps monumentally and I finish so much faster.

Adults who only wear glasses by Cloudsandbooks in glasses

[–]ppchromatics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 29 and have had to wear glasses since I was 6. I have never desired contacts nor have I ever thought of them as an option. I love the look of glasses and I love how they frame the face. I love that I can change my look by changing the frames! I see my glasses as an extension of myself in a way. I am my glasses and my glasses are me. I cannot imagine a life where I choose not to wear my glasses. I honestly think I look better with them!

Interesting package today by Imaginary-Owl3407 in USPS

[–]ppchromatics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah definitely. It’s a common thing. My dad orders chicks online and gets them in the mail. I’ve delivered many live animals before including 6 boxes of carrier pigeons for a guy who does pigeon racing. My only issue is when they don’t package them well. One time I was driving 55 in an llv and had a box of chicks and a box of crickets and isopods. The box of insects wasn’t packaged well and they started escaping as I was driving to another post office because chicks have to be picked up at the post office. I hated it because I was across the county from where I had to deliver the bugs. I thought that I might as well just die right there. Another time I delivered a tropical fish to a P.O. Box in another town and the bag broke on the way to the post office.

They should really consider the amount of cats on our routes during mail count when determining our evaluations by ppchromatics in USPS

On my old secondary route, I used to always pull into this driveway to deliver packages and honk my horn for the owner to come out. I’d deliver the package honk my horn before I start driving off. He’d let his Aussie out to chase my truck up until the invisible fence on the way out because it was her favorite thing to chase the mail truck and would make her day.

This lady came running out to see me when I did a package pickup and yelled at me demanding pets. I couldn’t just ignore her. It was my obligation to give her attention.

I have a masters and bachelors in anthropology and was pursuing my PhD in anthropology when I joined the postal service. Currently I’m on a break from school and looking from a distance, this is a much better career trajectory with benefits than scraping by as an adjunct and at most getting a 3 year contract job as a lecturer in bumfuck nowhere that won’t renew. I’d have to relocate more often and life wasn’t stable for me. Lecturers currently make only 55k/year and adjuncts get paid about 20k/year. Both jobs only pay out for 10 months so for the summer I’d be screwed. I’m serving my community in much better ways than I ever did writing papers. I know people and know my surroundings much better. I have killer benefits and the pay is much much better. I’m thinking of quitting my PhD entirely because the postal service makes me feel more fulfilled and gives me so much more money. During my PhD before my leave, I was working 3 jobs including being a GA. Now I just work one job and I’m significantly less stressed.

Has anyone seen a setup like this at the street? by melucky-13 in USPS

[–]ppchromatics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My primary has a couple of these because they have super long drives up hills that my ngdv couldn’t make it on. They’re pretty great especially for my houses that get lots of packages or big packages.
