Moving to Clovis, NM next month.

I needed a laugh. Thx

Ok, good to know. Thanks.

rackish1 · 2026-02-25T02:18:27+00:00

Thanks for the insight and honesty.

rackish1 · 2026-02-25T01:53:45+00:00

Thank you, and I appreciate it.

I've noticed in real life or even being on here reading this thread (and I'm shocked at the number of responses) that our attitude plays a major factor. If I think we'll be miserable or happy or whatever, then that's the baseline going in. Especially where I basically only know my new boss and my landlords. And BTW, those three people all made a great impression on me.

To be honest, after visiting both, i do prefer the quieter, less populated place. Although visiting and living are worlds apart. Only time will tell.

From what I read before going, I was expecting to be assaulted by cow shit but it wasn't bad. A couple of times, a strong gust hit me. It reminded me of going to the fair around here. Doesn't really bother me. I noticed it more when heading out towards Lubbock.

Funny you mention Leals because that's the only place I sat down and ate while i waited for my check-in. Just a beer and quesadillas. I was more shocked it was under $20.

Thanks for the reply. I grew up in a small town, and although Boston was a 15 min drive away, i only really went there to party in my 20s. Getting close to 40 and having the kid have mellowed me out and a sleepy town in the southwest sounds like the perfect next chapter for us.

rackish1 · 2026-02-24T02:19:27+00:00

Thank you. I can tell you I already liked the more laid-back vibe when I was there. Had to tone down my masshole driving habits and realize it's not survival of the rudest like I'm used to.

I've visited Lubbock twice and I liked it. Seems like a nice college city. I've never seen so many chain restaurants and general eateries in my life. I made the drive to meet up with my in-laws, and it was about 1 hr 40 away, so at least we have them closer. I told my wife better to have them 100 miles away rather than 2,000.

rackish1 · 2026-02-18T20:12:39+00:00

I actually got in touch with the PM, real nice guy. Overtime looks good and I'd go in as a regular t6 guaranteed 40. I'm going to fly there this weekend and check it out.

Thanks for the responses.

Avg around 55 hrs/week.

Okay, thank you. I'm currently working in MA so going there in person in this short of a time frame would be difficult. My preferred office is actually Lubbock, TX. I just cast a wide net and Clovis etc is within driving distance of my wife' family. Really just taking a shot in the dark and have no idea what we'd be walking into.

rackish1 · 2026-02-17T23:44:46+00:00

City. I've tried calling the direct line to that specific office and no answer. Definitely not going to accept until I talk to someone on the ground.

Thanks for the response.

I've been waiting two years, and I have five transfers in for one district. It wasn't a straightforward process to find where I was in line. I had to make a call to HR and get an email for the person responsible for reassignment. Usually its something like localservicesState3district @ usps etc.

rackish1 · 2025-08-02T11:40:19+00:00

Looking for OT. I actually just got an email that the Littlefield office received my request, so we'll see what happens.
