When we moved to FL in 1996 our mail carrier was a good ‘old cracker woman
(“cracker” being a term applied to native Floridian pioneer settlers) who had
done the route for decades. “Miss Donna” knew my kids, me, and all the
neighbors. She always had time to stop and chat a little on her route,
One summer in college a buddy told me that the mail was hiring summer help to
cover vacations and whatever other humannel shortages. So 3 or 4 of us went
down to take the test. I ended up getting another job but one guy got the gig.
Keep in mind we were fairly intelligent and had done well in
Yep, same here.

In the early 80’s I stood the test to be a carrier. At the time pay would have
been great ($10.hr) and the test simple. My fellows in the room were a motley
crew of ESL and high school grads, along with a few veterans. I opted to
continue higher education over putting in marathon strolls in
When I lived in Houston I’d be working in my garage shop and the mail guy would
come by. I’d see him often so we would chat a minute. Nice guy, gay Hispanic
which was kinda unusual as that was not particularly culturally common.
One day I see him coming and call out hello, he’s got this frown
I’ve personally known to career postal workers, a father and son who are both
mail carriers. They said it’s a high pressure job mainly because you can’t
screw up. Period. They said the pressure to perform and the constant scrutiny
by postal inspectors is what makes it such a bitch. They said
It has been broken for at least 40 years. Going Postal was not something that
took place back in the day. Postal workers were intelligible, hard working,
pleasant, and on the main less error prone. Sometime in the late ’70’s things
took a turn, be it for EEOC candidates, PTSD veterans, or
And postal inspectors, too.

The USPS would benefit from more union workers and more union rules and
more union benefits, and of course spending more money on it. It's
really the only way to fix it.

Tracking on the ignition switch showed it departed the GA facility yesterday,
so it sat there for 4 days basically.
